Biography

Son of John George Jordan (abt.1550-1616) and Margery (Berwick) Jordan (abt.1551-)[1]

William Jordan married Katherine Hussey on 7 April 1589 at St Dunstan in the East, London. The Will of Thomas Jordan of Charlwood (made 20 December 1613) refers to 'my brother William Jordan of Gatewicke gentleman'. 'William Jordan, gentleman of Gatewicke in the parish of Charlwood' made his Will on 30 June 1624 and probate was granted on 17 May 1625. Unfortunately the parish registers for burials at St Nicholas Charlwood have a gap between 12 August 1622 and 22 Feb 1628/9, so the burials for William and his wife Katherine are not recorded.

Both William Jordan and his wife Katherine left PCC Wills - 'William Jordan, gent of Gatewicke Charlwood; made 30 Jun 1624/Probate granted 17 May 1625' and 'Katherine Jordan, widow of Charlwood; made 7 Mar 1625 as "the late wife of Mr William Jordan"/Probate granted 5 Feb 1627'. In both these Wills William and Katherine only children are Son Edmund Jordan and Daughter Katherine Gardiner (nee Jordan).

Jordan-1911 and Jordon-298 appear to represent the same person because: Listed as brothers, just need to resolve mother
