[Jourdan] Jordan d. 1623 [1625] | his parents
& Marry Canon |

& Cicely |
her parents
of England and Jamestown VA
This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!
Samuel Jordan arrived in Jamestown VA in 1610. Samuel Jordan
sailed from England in 1609 on the third supply voyage in the Sea Venture
[Sea Voyage] with the new leadership being sent to take over the colony: Sir
Thomas Gates, Sir George Somers, and Captain Newport. The Sea Venture was
wrecked in Bermuda and only after they had constructed two smaller vessels The
Patience and the Deliverance did they reach Jamestown in May of 1610.
In 1619 Samuel was listed as an "ancient planter" that was
allocated 100 acres in the "first division" in 1619. In 1619 he
represented Charles Citty in the House of Burgesses and was listed as
"Samuel Jordan of Charles Hundred gentleman."
In July 1622 an additional 100 acres in "Diggs His Hundred" was
assigned to Samuel Jordan.
In 1623 census he is mentioned as a member of the House of Burgesses.
In 1625 "Captain Samuel Jordan" founded Jordan's Journey, also
known as "Beggers Bush" on 450 acres near where the Appomattox River
empties into the James.
Samuel Jordan married Cicely who arrived in Jamestown on the Swan in 1611.
Upon his death his widow became betrothed to two men at the same time, Capt.
William Ferrar and Rev. Greville Pooley. This caused so much controversy that
the James Citty Council took note and enacted a statute prohibiting any woman
from contracting herself to "two several men at the same time."

Jordan and wife Cicely:
