General Notes: Husband - Henry Jordan

---

He came to Washington township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, with his wife and eight children, in the autumn of 1802, from York County, and bought two hundred acres of land. [HLC 1877, 127]

He came to America when fourteen years of age, having been drafted into the British Army, and very soon after his arrival he took part in the Revolutionary War, joining the Continental Army at New York, deserting from the British. He served through the remaining portion of the war as a private, and when discharged from the army, settled in what is now Washington township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, where he purchased a tract of virgin soil, heavily timbered. He occupied the rest of his years in clearing the tall forest trees, and in following the peaceful and honorable calling of an agriculturist, at which line of work he was very successful. Although not personally interested in politics, he was, notwithstanding, a strong partisan of the Democratic party.
He upheld the faith of the Presbyterian Church.
He died at age ninety-two years.
