(For preceding generation see Rev. Robert Jordan I.) (II) Jeremiah, youngest son of
JORDAN Rev. Robert and Sarah ( Win- ter) Jordan, was born at Fal- mouth, Maine, about 1663, and died in 1729. The place where he was born was the old family plantation at Spurwink, afterwards Fal- mouth and now Cape Elizabeth. This estate had been inherited from the father of Mrs. Robert Jordan, Mr. John Winter, a great landed proprietor. Rev. Robert Jordan and his family lived on this place from 1648 till 1675, when the house was burned by the In- dians, and they moved to Newcastle, New Hampshire, where the clergyman died four years later. The "Old Plantation" at Spur- wink, containing about one thousand acres, was bequeathed to Mrs. Jordan with the pro- vision that it should go to Jeremiah at her death. The son was sixteen years of age at the time of his father's decease, and he con- tinued to live with his mother at Newcastle till his marriage in 1688. Soon after this Jeremiah Jordan removed to Scarborough, Maine, where he occupied the Nonesuch Farm, containing two thousand acres, which had be- longed to his mother. It was here that his two children were born, and it was here that he raised the provisions that he sold to the gov- ernment. The following document has been preserved : "Blackpoint, Oct. 4, 1703. This signifies that we have taken on board the Sloop Crowndhen, Mr. Bena. Gold, master, a thou- sand and twenty nine pounds of pork which Mr. Jeremiah Jordan owner weighed by ye Governor's order to be delivered at ye stores at Great Island." Three years later a com- plaint was filed at Kittery, Maine, by Pela Whittemore that the pork, through somebody's negligence, "or for want of salt was much damnified so that I could never dispose of more than half of it." It is not strange that the pork was not properly salted, for on Au- gust 10, 1703, Jeremiah Jordan and his wife were captured by a hostile band of Indians, and on the same day, Domincus Jordan, a brother, who lived on the east side of the Spur- wink river, was killed in his own house, and his family carried into captivity. The children of Jeremiah Jordan, after the capture of their parents, were sent to Newcastle, where they probably remained in the care of friends till the release of their mother. After remaining
three years in captivity, she was permitted to come back from Canada. Upon her return she made her home in Newcastle, which was probably her native place. Jeremiah Jordan was kept in Canada a number of years, part of the time with the Indians and later with the French. He was then carried to France, where he remained some years, being finally released, and returning, first to Spurwink, then to Newcastle. Owing to the exposure and hardships through which he had passed, he was not recognized by any of his friends, who all supposed he had been dead for years. He proved his identity by showing the scars on his breast, caused by fire or water when he was quite young, which were remembered by some of the family. From that time he was called "French Jeremy" to distinguish him from others of the same name. He probably re- mained at Newcastle till after the death of his wife, and then accompanied his son, Jere- miah (2), to Falmouth in 1725. About 1688 Jeremiah Jordan married Katherine, whose maiden name is unknown, and they had two children: Jeremiah (2), whose sketch fol- lows; and Deborah, born about 1696, married James Randell, of Newcastle, New Hampshire. (III) Jeremiah (2), only son of Jeremiah (I) and Katharine Jordan, was born about 1693, probably on the Nonesuch Farm, at Scarborough, Maine, and he died about 1764. His parents were carried into captivity when he was ten years of age, and the boy and his sister Deborah were brought up at Newcastle, New Hampshire. Jeremiah (2) Jordan was living at Newcastle as late as 1724, and in 1728 he was living at Falmouth, now Cape Elizabeth, Maine. His first wife, who was probably the mother of his five children, may have died between those dates. About 1715 he married Catharine Randell, daughter of James Randell, of Newcastle, New Hampshire. There were five children : I. James, born 1716, married Phebe Mitchell. 2. Elizabeth, 1719, married Moses Hanscomb, of Falmouth. 3. Jeremiah (3), whose sketch follows. 4. De- borah, 1723, married Solomon Bragdon, of Scarborough. 5. Hepzibah, 1749, married Styleman Jordan, of Newcastle, New Hamp- shire. The second wife of Jeremiah (2) Jor- dan was Sarah, but her maiden name is un- known.
(IV) Jeremiah (3), second son of Jere- miah (2) and Catharine (Randell) Jordan, was born in 1721, probably at Newcastle, New Hampshire. At the age of seven, or earlier, he moved with his parents to Falmouth, Maine. He must have spent his life in that neighbor-

hood, as he received from his father a deed of one hundred and ninety acres of land near the mouth of the Spurwink river. The date of his death is unknown. He married Eliza- beth Cox, of Beverly, Massachusetts, to whom he was published June 2, 1750. They had seven children: 1. Sarah, born May 22, 1752, married William Dingley, of Falmouth. 2.
Mary, January 12, 1754, married Benjamin Staniford. 3. Lucy, February 25, 1759, mar- ried John Jordan, a son of Jedediah (2), a first cousin of Jeremiah (2). 4. Nathaniel, whose sketch follows. 5. Deborah, September 23, 1763, married Noah Jordan (2). 6. Thom- as, February 18, 1769, was an invalid many years, and died unmarried at the age of fifty. 7. Winter, February 12, 1775, married Lucy Richards.
(V) Nathaniel, eldest son of Jeremiah (3) and Elizabeth (Cox) Jordan, was born May 25, 1761, at Falmouth, Maine; but the date of his death is unknown. He was a farmer and lived on the old homestead at Spurwink. On January 29, 1784, he married Dorothy Jordan, daughter of Captain Joshua and Cath- erine (Jordan) Jordan. (See Jordan V.) There were ten children: I. Lucy, born Au- gust 7, 1784. 2. Betsey, December 15, 1785. 3. and 4. William and Nathaniel (twins), No- vember 27, 1791. 5. Sally, October 13, 1794. 6. Rufus, September 13, 1795. 7. Catharine, 1797. 8. Joshua, October 14, 1799. 9. Polly, November 13, 1801. 10. Ivory, January II, 1805. Of these children, Lucy married Stephen Hibbard, of Freedom, and died at Norridge- wock in 1824. Betsey married David Small, of Scarborough, and was living in 1878 at the age of ninety-three. William is mentioned in the succeeding paragraph. Nathaniel married (first) Abigail Garcelon, (second) Alice Rowe. Sally married Jonathan McKenney and lived at Danville. Catharine married Samuel Waterhouse, a farmer of Lisbon, and died in that town in 1840. Joshua was a trader and lumberman, and lived at Foxcroft. He mar- ried (first) Olive Ann Duggin, of Wells, who died at the age of twenty-nine, leaving two children ; (second) Martha Merrill, of Har- mony, who had seven children. No further record is given of Polly Jordan beyond the fact of her birth; she probably died young. Ivory lived at New Gloucester, and married (first) Eliza, daughter of Solomon and Sarah (Staples) Jordan, (second) Caroline C. Dyer. Rufus lived on home farm at Cape Elizabeth ; father of Mrs. Stephen Dyer, of Portland, mother of Herbert Dyer, of Portland, Mrs. D. Wallace Oakes, of Auburn.
(VI) William, eldest son of Nathaniel and Dorothy (Jordan) Jordan, was born at Cape Elizabeth, Maine, November 27, 1791, and died at Danville, now Auburn, January 24, 1853. He bought a tract of lan 1 in Danville, covered with heavy green timber, and built a little house there where he moved his family in January, 1822. He was an honest, indus- trious man, and worked hard to support his family. On January 24, 1821, he married Margaret Duggin, daughter of Michael Dug- gin, of Cape Elizabeth, and they had nine chil- dren: I. Olive, born January 24, 1822, mar- ried Samuel R. Damrem, of Belgrade. 2. Francis Michael, January 10, 1824, married Parthenia Ricker. 3. William (2), whose sketch follows. 4. Margaret A., September 17, 1828, married George W.

(VII) William (2), second son of William (I) and Margaret (Duggin) Jordan, was born November 17, 1825, at Danville, now Au- burn, Maine, and received his education in the schools of that town. He remained on the home farm till twenty-two years of age when he went to Massachusetts, and later to New- port, Rhode Island, where he remained some time. He then returned to Auburn and went into business with his brother, Francis M. They afterwards took in Albert E. Frost, and changed the name to Jordan, Frost and Com- pany. In 1884 Mr. Jordan began his pres- ent market garden, making a specialty of strawberries and celery. He is a Republican in politics, and attends the Baptist church. On December 20, 1854, he married Caroline Cranston, daughter of Thomas and Phebe Cranston, of Newport, Rhode Island. They had seven children: I. Mary Jane, born No- vember 22, 1855, married George Strout, of Biddeford; child, Paul Strout. 2.

(VIII) Archer, youngest child of William (2) and Caroline (Cranston) Jordan, was born at Auburn, Maine, January 7, 1873. He attended the public schools of his native town, graduated from the Edward Little high school in 1891, thereupon entering Colby College, from which he graduated in the class of 1895. He then accepted the position of principal of the high school in Vanceboro, Maine, resign- ing there one year later to accept a position in the Mitchell's Boys School at Billerica, Massachusetts, where he taught mathematics and science. In 1899 he entered the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania and was graduated from there in 1902 with the degree of D. D. S. He began the practice of dentistry at Water- ville, Maine, and in 1904 returned to Auburn and opened the office which he now occupies.

Children : Cranston Har- low, born July 12, 1903; Archer (2), July 20, 1905 ; Charles W., September 24, 1907.
(IV) Captain Joshua, third son of Nathan- iel and Dorothy Jordan, was born in 1736, at Spurwink, now Cape Elizabeth, Maine. He seems to have resembled his grandfather Do-
minicus in physique, being six feet in height and of great endurance. At the beginning of the revolution he had a large family of chil- dren, but he left all to fight for his country. On November 20, 1777, he commanded a com- pany of men in Colonel Peter Noyes' regiment. In 1779 he had command of a company in Colonel Jonathan Mitchell's regiment. On the expedition against the enemy at Penobscot, from July 7 to September 25, 1779, his name heads the payroll as captain. Later in life he became the owner of part of Richmond's Island, and there he lived for a number of years, dying at length in his chair. He had been afflicted with asthma for some time, so that he could not sleep in a bed. The exact date of his death is unknown. On March 24, 1763, he married Catharine Jordan, of Fal- mouth, daughter of his second cousin, Rich- ard Jordan, and his wife, Katharine Hans- comb. To Joshua and Catharine (Jordan) Jordan were born eight children, and it is somewhat remarkable that six out of the eight married Jordans. I. Dorothy, mentioned below. 2. and 3.

This channel, which is an easy ford in low tide, is a mile wide at flood.
(V) Dorothy, eldest child of Captain Joshua and Catharine (Jordan) Jordan, was born August 29, 1764, at Cape Elizabeth, and mar- ried, June 29, 1784, Nathaniel Jordan, young- est son of Jeremiah (3) and Elizabeth (Cox) Jordan. (See Jordan V.)

cessful in making his escape. While living among the Canadian Indians he became quite familiar with the dialects of several of the tribes, and that knowledge served him a use- ful purpose in later years. He returned to Spurwink in 1715 and lived in that town dur- ing the remaining years of his life. He was a very active man in public affairs, holding sev- eral important town offices and was one of the selectmen the first year after the incor- poration of Falmouth, representative to the general court and major of the provincial mil- itia. He also was energetic in business life and acquired a large property in lands and goods. He married, in Kittery, Joanna Bray, who survived him many years, and by whom he had seven children, all born in Spurwink : I. Dominicus, June 15, 1715, died 1786; mar- ried Phebe Gray. 2.

Mir- iam, married Robert Mitchell, of Kittery. 7. Hannah, March 12, 1728, married Joseph Prout.
(IV) Lieutenant Colonel Nathaniel, son of Major Dominicus and Joanna ( Bray) Jordan, was born in Spurwink, Maine, December 24, 1718, and was one of the influential men of the province in his time. He received from his father more than four hundred acres of good land, but he himself added materially to his inherited possessions. He was lieutenant colonel of the militia raised in Cumberland county and served in the defense of the sea- coast; and his name appears on the roll of field and staff officers for the year 1779. He married, August 2, 1740, Hannah Woodbury, of Beverly, Massachusetts, and by her had nine children, all born in Falmouth: I. Tris- tram, 1743, revolutionary soldier and private in Captain Joshua Jordan's company ; mar- ried Hannah Lassell. 2. Israel, June 12, 1745, married Susanna Jordan. 3. Dominicus, 1746. 4.
