About us

Foundation History

Reverend Robert Jordan, an Anglican Minister, came to Maquoit Bay as one of the earliest settlers to what is now known as Brunswick, Maine. Born in 1610 and educated at Balliol College, Oxford, he was a Councilor, Justice, Lawyer and Commissioner. He began a formal ministry on Richmond Island, Cape Elizabeth, Maine in 1640. He married Sarah Winter, daughter of John Winter. Mr. Winter was the manager of the initial Richmond Island fishing settlement.


Reverend Robert and Sarah had six sons.  Thus began the broadening of the Jordan family tree as it now reaches around the world with Jordan's encompassing life's variety of economic, genealogical, political and philanthropic endeavors. 


Reverend Robert died in 1679 in New Castle, New Hampshire. His grave site was recognized in 2010 near his home there, which still stands.



Mission Statement

The Rev Robert and Sarah (Winter) Jordan Foundation, Inc. is a not-for-profit 501(c)7 organization that seeks to enrich the lives of all Jordan descendants by enhancing their link to the past through educational, archaeological and historical endeavors funded through donations.
