Notes for Thomas II JORDAN

Thomas was the first Quaker of his family and became prominent in that faith, about 1660. He had ten sons, some of whom became Quaker ministers, and two daughters. All of his children were born in Nansemond County, Virginia. He was also a Burgess in Virginia

Quaker records Chuckatuck MM. VA, History of Nansemond Co. VA, by Jos. B. Dunn p. 117. Archive record from SLC Archives. Allied families (Second Ed.) Media, Inc., 1978, p. 402.

All dates here are from the Quaker record which does not assign a month name to each given month. Due to two calenders in use (O.S. or Gregorian and N.S. or Julian) it is not clear which reference system should be used. The old record uses only numbers for months indicated, for example: Thomas b. 1660, 1, 6; John b. 1663, 6,17; Robert b. 1668, 7, 11, etc. THE QUAKER RECORD IS THE PRIMARY SOURCE I assume the O.S. calender was used. See Hinshaw's "Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy" Vol 6, p. 31.
