Jeremiah, youngest son, born about 1663, at Spurwink, now Cape Elizabeth, Cumberland County, Maine
Jeremiah and his wife were captured by Indians on August 10, 1703; his children were sent to New Castle. Jeremiah's wife was released after 3 years, but Jeremiah was 'kept a captive in Canada a number of years, part of the time with the Indians, afterwards with the French. He was then carried to France, where he remained some years, being finally released, and returning, first to Spurwink, then to New Castle.'
'He probably made New Castle his home, perhaps living after the death of his wife with his son Jeremiah, Jr., and accompanying the latter in his removal to Falmouth [Spurwink] in 1725.'
'His son administered upon his estate in 1729.'
The administration papers call him 'Jeremiah Jordan late of [the township of] Falmouth in the County of York [later Cumberland County]'
