DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships.
Paternal line Y-chromosome DNA test-takers:
Jordan-10456 and Jordan-611 appear to represent the same person because: they share a similar death year, the same spouse, Dorothy Newby, and the same will listing the same children.
The following March, Susannah Bressie, widow, for love and affection … to her nephew, William Jones of York County, gave him 8,000 pound of tobacco, and deeded over to him all her land and plantation where she lived was to be his, until the gift deed was fulfilled. …It is intended for better establishment of land where she now lives in the Upper Parish of Isle of Wight, and she bequeaths her right and title to Mathew Jordan, to descend to the longest liver of them. Her second husband was Matthew Jordan of Nansemond County.
Jordan-611 and Jordon-8 appear to represent the same person because: Jordan-611 is an orphan and can be merged without further approval. Spelling of surname needs to be resolved. If both spellings appear in sources, the alternate spelling should be added to aka.
