Samuel JORDAN

Taken from http://www.geocities.com/knighthistory/VirginiaKnights.htm

Samuel arrived in American in 1610 after a 14-month journey. The new governor, Lord D La Ware and John Rolfe were also on the ship. They were ship wrecked on an island in the Bermudas and spent nine months of hard labor building a new vessel before sailing on to Jamestown. Jordan, one of the most educated on the ship, was chosen to keep a journal of the proceedings, published in London under the title A Disscovery of Bermudas. The Jamestown settlers were about to return to England when Jordans ship brought a reinforcement of men and supplies and saved the Jamestown settlement. Samuel was granted 450 acres of land in his own right and 250 acres more for transporting his five servants. His estate was known as Jordan's Journey and was located on the James River, just south of the mouth of the Appomattox. He was a Member of the first Assembly at Jamestown in 1619 and was listed as a gentleman planter at Charles City. He was a member of the committee to review the first four books into which the Great Charter of Virginia was divided. He survived the Indian ambush of 1622. The governor, Francis Wyatt wrote to the Council in London, in April of 1622, that "he thoughtit fitt to hold a few outlying places including the Jamestown." Samuel, a widower with three sons (Samuel, Robert and Thomas) still in England, married Cecily (or Sisley) (Bailey?). She was 24 years old when she arrived in Virginia on the Swann in 1610/11. They had three daughters before he died in 1623. "As I Have Been Told" (as revised April, 1998) Archives, Library of Virginia, Richmond, VA.
