Mary Jordan (b. Abt. 1695)
Notes for Mary Jordan:
Mary Jordan was the daughter of George Jordan and Mary Brown.The will of George Jordan is filed in Surry County Will Book 7 page 145, dated 18 May 1718 and probated 20 Aug 1718.He mentions his wife Mary and daughter Mary Anderson and legated to her a "large" bible. This Bible is later mentioned in James Anderson's will, and apparently goes to Georgia with Mary's son James Anderson, Jr.
Mary acquiesed in the sale of James Anderson lands from his father in 1712 indicating that they married before that date.There are no known marriage records for this period.This sale was likely done because James' stepmother Mary was still young and of child bearing age and the estate was unlikely to revert to James Anderson any time soon.James held 104 acres of land in southern Prince George County along the Nottoway River that he had obtained before 1710.
George Jordan Jr. gave James and Mary Anderson 300 acres on Blackwater Swamp for the nominal consideration of 5 shillings on 1 Jul 1715.James was still a resident of Prince George County when he sold 104 acres in Surry County in 1718.
