Stephen Jordan (abt 1590 – 1669/70), my 9th great
grandfather, arrived in New England aboard the Mary & John with Rev. Thomas
Parker of Wiltshire, England. They
sailed from Southampton in March 1634 and arrive in Boston on 24 May 1634. He is on a list of men who took an oath of allegiance
at Southampton. He settled first in
Ipswich and then in Newbury. He was
literate and signed his own deeds, and his inventory included “one great bible”.
Stephen Jordan’s first grant of land in Ipswich was in
1639/40. In 1650 he was one of four men
who were too old to train with the militia.
He wrote his will on 5 April 1667 and it was proved on 29 March
1670. His only two children were girls,
so this surname daughtered out very early.
I descend from his daughter Jane, who married Lt. John Andrews. I descend from three of Jane’s five
children, from the three sons, William (two lineages under William), Thomas and
Joseph seen below.
