Notes for Robert JORDAN
A testimony from the Yearly-Meeting in Virginia , concerning Robert Jordan . He was son of Thomas and Margaret Jordan of Nansemond County in Virginia , born the 11th of the seventh month 1668 , and carefully educated in the way of truth by his worthy parents, who lived to see the religion of his education become that of his choice and practice in his mature years, in which he was preserved to the last without wavering, in great peace with the Lord and unity of his brethren. He was an hospitable man, very ready to entertain strangers, especially the Lords Messengers, whom he treated with great respect and affection, honouring them for their works sake; being also charitable to the poor, and as a man of trade and commerce, obtained a good reputation, having declared he had never wronged any man knowingly in all his life. In the time of his illness, which continued about two weeks, he seemed very patient and resigned to the will of God, and much concerned for the everlasting welfare of his children, which he expressed in a lively manner; and often in fervent prayer, desired they might be preserved from the vanities and corruptions of this world, and that they might love and fear the Lord in their youth, saying at one time, "Lord preserve my flock, let them never go astray, nor forget thee, nor one another". "O my God! hold them in thy arms that none of them be lost, let not the enemy prevail over them." Being humbly thankful and blessed God, that he had been pleased to support him through every dispensation of his providence to that time. He died the 3d of the eight month 1728 , and on the 9th of the same month , after a large meeting held on the occassion was interred in the family burying ground.
