Sometime before 1620, Jordan married Cecily,[2] who had arrived in Virginia around 1611[8] and was around 18 when they married. [note 1] By 1621, their first daughter Mary had been born,[9]:210 and when Jordan died in 1623, Cecily was pregnant with her second daughter, Margaret.[10]
Virginia Historical Highway Marker of Jordan's Journey
In 1620, Samuel Jordan officially received his patent for 450 acres of land. [note 2] This patent included 200 acres for both his and Cecily's claim as ancient planters, as well as an additional 250 acres as headright for paying the transportation costs to Virginia for five indentured servants.[2] Jordan's patent, located at today's Jordan Point, Virginia, was originally known as Beggars Bush[3] and later as Jordan's Journey.[11]
When the paramount chiefOpechancanough of the Powhatan Confederacy launched the surprise attack of 1622 that killed nearly a third of the English colonists and triggered the Second Anglo-Powhatan War, nobody from Jordan's Journey was listed as killed.[7]:556 Jordan's Journey withstood the attack and became a fortified refuge.[12] After the initial assault, many of the outlying settlements were temporarily abandoned, and most of the colonists were ordered to move to a small number of relatively safer settlements, one of which was Jordan's Journey.[7]:612 As a result, Jordan's Journey grew. In February 1624, 42 people were living at Jordan's Journey;[13]:171 a year later, 56 people were living there.[9]:209–213
Death and legacy
Samuel Jordan died sometime before mid-February 1623,[note 3] as his name does not appear among living at Jordan's Journey in a list submitted to the Virginia Company that month.[13]:171
