JORDAN; all the different families of the name in this place are probably descendants of Rev. Robert, an Episcopalian minister, who came froin the west of England, in 1640, settled at Falmouth, m. Sa- rah, daughter of John Winter, and, at her death, became owner of a large estate there. He gave much trouble, by factious opposition to the government of Massachusetts, was finally driven off by the In- dians, in 1675, and ended his days in Portsmouth, N. H., 1678, a. 68, leaving six sons. 1, John, who m. Elizabeth Stilesman, and who had by his father's will, Richmond's Ist. and land in Cape Elizabeth. 2, Robert, (2d), who had land confirmed to him in Cape Elizabeth, be- fore conveyed. 3, Dominicus, who m.

Their mother, Sarah, way at the same time willed "the ould plantation" in Spurwink, 1000 acres, & also the Nonsuch place in Scarboro'. The connecting links remain unknown ; but Robert Jordan, son of Israel, and undoubtedly a de. ascendant, came from Cape Elizabeth to Wessawerkeag before 1777 : mar.
