Bay. Robert is listed in the Census for 1820 in Camden, Lincoln Co., ME and all of this family of Robert and Hannah, except the oldest two sons, appear in the 1830 Camden, Waldo Co. census.

BURIAL: Jeremy Jordan found a website in July 2005 for the Lowell School Cem. in Adams Twp., Seneca Co., OH that lists a Robert Jordan, died 1832, aged 53y, 11m, in Section SE, Row 8. This would give an incorrect birth year, but if the inscription was 58y, 11m, the birth date is confirmed. The posted photo is in very poor condition.
