Disputed Parents

Hannah, b 1600 Lancashire, England is said to be the daughter of Robert Jordan and Sarah Winter. There are issues with this, the first of these is that Robert Jordan 1562-1589 did not marry Sarah Winter. Sarah Winter married Rev Robert Jordan, 1612-1679 of Maine. He and Sarah both lived and died in Maine. It is also known that they had 6 sons and no daughters. ^{[citation needed]}

Hannah is also sometimes said to be the daughter of a Richard Jordan b 1585 Lancashire , England and a unknown mother ^[21]. There is no evidence that supports this speculation.

Walter Aston’s first wife, Warbowe (LNAB Unknown) as shown by the above patents, came over with him. He married, secondly, Hannah _____, who after his death married Col. Edward Hill.

Hannah , 2nd wife of Walter Aston who married Edward Hill after Walter Aston's death was born to unknown parents. Sometimes said to be the daughter of Robert Jordan, husband of Sarah Winter, however this is pure speculation and no sources exist to support this. The facts indicate Sarah Winter, of Maine was married to Rev Robert Jordan. Both lived and died in Maine. Hannah's parents and LNAB are unknown.

There is evidence that Hannah (Jordan) Aston is the sister of Col George Jordan, of Surry county, Virginia. Colonel George Jordan was one of Surry County, Virginia's most prominent citizens. ^[22] Their parents are often said to be Arthur Henry Jordon and Mary (Rawlings) Jordan, however this has not been proved. The parents of Col George Jordan, and Hannah are unknown. If proven that George Jordan and Hannah are siblings then we might assume her LNAB was Jordan.

Col George Jordan's siblings have been identified as : ^{[citation needed]}

1. Fortune Jordan b. ca 1623, d. 1669,
2. Mary Jordan, md 1st) Arthur Bayley; md 2nd) Christopher Foster on 15 June 1677.
3. Arthur H. Jordan, I b. 1629, d. 1698,
4. William Jordan
5. Frances Jordan,
6. Hannah Jordan who married (1st) Walter Aston, and (2nd) Edward Hill.
