Judith Scott (Ware) Jordan (1727 - abt. 1769)

Is there any evidence that Judith was married to Matthew Jordan? I've seen them connected on many online trees, but haven't seen any primary evidence. Also, Terrell Marshall pointed out that Matthew's wife is named as Jane in his will.

I believe the Research Notes stating "it's fairly safe.." is incorrect. Since this was before 1752 when England and it's colonies changed from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar the end of the year (say, 1728) was in March of that year (which we would now call 'the next' year). If you're not aware of this then it would appear that there is a typo in the birth or the baptismal date.

Therefore, it makes sense that Judith (dau. of Peter & Judith Ware) was b. 4 Dec 1728 and that she was baptized almost 3 months later on 8 Mar 1728/9. The double date is how we designate that nowadays, but they didn't do that at the time, because they didn't know that notation was going to be used way in the future.

If I am correct, then the birth date should be corrected on this profile.

As an aside, her father Peter Ware had his will dated 8 Jun 1741, but proved 16 Mar 1741. By the similar logic, the proved date would be notated as '16 Mar 1741/2' (i.e. the next year).

Ware-877 and Ware-702 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, birth year & husband.

As I said, go ahead and edit as you see fit, James. :) I adopted this profile from Travis Wagner for merging purposes if I remember correctly.

How do you get this person? Documentation??? Adventurers of Purse and Person, 4th ed. vol 2 p 377 says Samuel Jordan married the Judith who is here in Wikitree is listed as this Judith's mother (Judith Scott Ware) which also is said in http://www.warefamilyhistory.com/

under 7 Peter Ware.
