Jordan Point, Virginia

English settlers began arriving at Jamestown in 1607, and the property at Jordan's Point was first known as "Jordan’s Journey" in 1619.

The first recorded owner was Samuel Jordan, who with his wife, Cecily, her two daughters, and their adult male servants, took up residence around 1620, Samuel Jordan died in 1623, and his widow married William Farrar, who moved to Jordan’s Journey, which appears to have been abandoned by 1635.
