"Several men named Jordan were born in Essex County in the early 1700's,
and perhaps some of these could have been children of Rachel and William
Jordan. Of these, Jonas, who was born about 1725, would appear most
likely to have been Rachel's son, though a definite statement cannnot yet
be made. Jonas followed the route of the Meador migrations into
Caroline, Amelia, and Bedford Counties, and had numerous dealings with
Meador family members in those areas. In Amelia County, Jonas Jordan
bought 244 acres of land on Sandy Creek which had been granted to Jason
Meador. Jonas had many other land transactions in Amelia County before
moving on to Bedford County, Virginia, where he died June 29, 1785. He
is listed as a patriot by the D.A. R. for public service during the
Revolution."
Jonas and Winefred were married in a religious ceremony in 1743 in Essex, Virginia.1 They had a son named Jonas.
