Disputed Origins

From http://adupree.com/tng/getperson.php?personID=I33557&tree=adupree

“Elizabeth's parents, spouse(Thomas), children(Thomas, Cordelia, John) and info about birth is unproven. If something doesn't look right please make a suggestion.”

Evidence needed to support as the same person as Elizabeth Jordan

Was she the daughter of Thomas ‘the Younger’ Jordan, Ill and Elizabeth Burgh? Not with these Birth dates for children ...

Was she the daughter of Thomas 'the Quaker' Jordan of Chuckatuck and Margaret Jordan ?

They had 10 sons recorded at the Lower Virginia Meeting beginning in 1660 when Margaret (b 1642) was 18 years old. No daughters documented.
