George Jordan III was a Virginia colonist.

George Jordan, III, born 1678 in Surry Co. Virginia, near the James River, and was the son of [[Jordan-1829|George Jordon II] and Mary Browne.

He is probably not the George Jordan who married Patience Warren. That is probably his nephew, son of his brother Arthur.

He is said to have been married to Sarah Sutherland and Sarah Hunt. More details need sourced. He married Sarah Hunt in about 1713, the daughter of William Hunt II and Sarah Knott.
