Arthur Jordan's first recorded patents for Surry land do not appear until 1681 (150 acres) and 1684 (250 acres). But it is clear that Arthur Jordan had previously gained substantial holdings. In 1655, he was mentioned as a Southwark planter and guardian to Elizabeth Hutton, whose lands he cared for. In 1662, William Jennings, who was at odds with the Jordans for years, protested Arthur Jordan's possession of a patent he himself claimed. The will of Arthur Jordan, dated 24 Sep 1698, probated 3 Jan 1698/9 was witnessed by Nathaniel Harrison, Walter Flood and Thomas Flood. Arthur Jordan left legacies to his son GEORGE JORDAN, II (ancestor), his son River Jordan, and son and daughter Washington, and granddaughter Elizabeth Jordan and grandson Arthur Washington. In this will, Arthur Jordan left all his lands in Surry to George Jordan, II, as well as "other estate in Virginia and elsewhere" to George and River, to be equally divided."
This land lay east of Sunken Meadow, south of, but extending into, Flood's land, and running east toward Wareneck along the Spring Run, or northern branch, of Gray's Creek.
On 4 Jul 1699, the inventory and appraisement of the estate of Arthur Jordan was recorded. River Jordan was the executor.
