Wreck of the Sea Venture
1609
Samuel Jordan was evidently the first Jordan to settle in English America. Some reports say that Samuel was born in Lyme Regis, Dorsetshire, England, and his birth year is given as 1575 or 1578. Other sources indicate that he was born in the adjoining county of Wiltshire. Samuel was on the ship Sea Venture that shipwrecked off Bermuda in July 1609. The survivors constructed two small vessels, and eventually they continued on to Jamestown, arriving in May 1610. Within a few years, Samuel established a plantation at a place that he called “JORDAN’S JOURNEY”, located on the south side of the James River more than thirty miles upstream from Jamestown (near the present town of Hopewell and at a point where the Benjamin Harrison Memorial Bridge now crosses the river). The early settlers were dependent on water transport, and they settled up and down the banks of the James River much as an ancient Greek writer described his fellow countrymen settling around the Aegean, “like frogs around a pond.”
Thomas Jordan, believed by most researchers to be a son of Samuel, came to the colony in 1620. Genetic Y-DNA tests done by my son Stuart show that we are related to Thomas, but it appears that we are not direct descendants. Based on further DNA analysis and other evidence, my son now believes our ancestor was a cousin of Thomas who came to Virginia some years after the original Jamestown settlement. Nevertheless, I have appropriated the name “Jordans-Journey” for this blog.
My name is Edwin Saunders Jordan, and I go by the nickname Sandy. I was born on August 30, 1929, in Greensboro, North Carolina. I attended the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and attained bachelor’s and master’s degrees in in history there. I had intended to teach, but following military service in Korea I went to work for the Federal government. I was employed by the National Security Agency for almost 40 years, retiring in 1994. I married the lovely Ann Laura McGuire in December 1951, and we were the proud parents of five sons. Now there are grandchildren and great-grandchildren. My dear wife died in April 2015.
I launched this blog in July 2018. The primary purpose was to provide a series of memories for my family. I had done some of this before in a booklet of family vignettes, but I thought it would be good to keep up with the times and record my ruminations in the form of a blog. I expanded the scope to include articles on history, current events, spiritual subjects, etc. I also opened it to the general public, wishing that I might afford some entertainment and information to a wider audience. I hope to continue posting as long as possible, though the pace may slow.

Hi,
I like your blog and will be checking back often. My 9th GGF was Richard Jordan who first recorded in Isle of Wight co, Va in 1654 when he married Elizabeth Reynolds. Richard is reportedly the son of Samuel Jordan of Jordan’s Journey and his wife Cecily Phippen but “called Reynolds” (it’s complicated). Richard is supposed to have been the unborn child that Cecily was pregnant with when she refused Rev Grenville Pooley’s offer of marriage just 3 days after the death of her husband Samuel Jordan.I have done a lot of work on Cecily’s ancestry and I’m currently working on Samuel’s ancestry. BTW Samuel had three sons and two daughters by Frances Baker in England prior to his arrival in Virginia. At least two of the sons and one daughter later came to Virginia and settled there.
Cecily Phippen’s parents were Robert Phippen but alias Fitzpen (it’s also complicated) and Cecily Jordan, daughter of Thomas Jordan of Melcombe Regis, Weymouth, Dorsetshire, England. —- I’m already looking for a connection between Samuel Jordan and Cecily and her father Thomas Jordan.
FYI. A few of the names that you might like to look up are: Rev George Phippen, Truro Church, Cornwall, England. Pay particular attention the 1620 Royal Visitation, And if you can find it, his Will written in Lamorran, Cornwall in July 1650, Also David Phippen who settled in Hingham, Massachusetts in 1635, then removed to Boston in 1641. And finally and probably the most interesting; Owen Phippen who was captured by Turkish pirates in 1620 and who made his escape 7 years later. There is a plaque to dedicated to him in the old part of Truro church that was placed there by his brother George. These three are the siblings of Cecily Phippen (but called Reynolds) who was at Jordan’s Journey, Virginia.

I know, right? I do not even know your father, but I too am enjoying it! My pa is soon to be 102 and I firmly believe if macular degeneration hadn’t taken his eye sight, totally, about 3 years ago? He would still be on his computer! He had never discovered blogging, but lord how I wish he would have!
