If you look at the YDNA Jordan Surname Project on FamilyTreeDNA, you will find that it is highly unlikely that Richard Jordan I was related to Thomas "The Quaker" Jordan. YDNA puts descendants of Richard I into the "JG03" group whereas the descendants of Thomas Jordan are in the "JG08" YDNA Group. These YDNA results can be viewed here:

It appears that WikiTree only suggests YDNA matches to 10 generations. You will need to look at the Grand children or Great-Grand Children of Richard Jordan I in order to see expected YDNA matches.

I think Richard should be disconnected from Thomas unless evidence can be found to connect them.

It is more likely that Elizabeth Reynolds was the wife of Richard (II) Jordan-783 than his father Richard (I) Jordan- 782. See the attached document for justification: Which Richard Jordan was the husband of Elizabeth Reynolds?
