I can't find much, nothing on the specific folks you ask about, but an earlier John Jordan might be a clue. I found one on the tax list of 1753 for Londongrove. Also, July 30, 1759, a "John Jordan and Robert Lambourn paid all charges that accrued on a wagon and 5 horses, impressed". This was in the accounts of Gen. Forbes's expedition into western PA, and the now Pittsburgh area (but don't ask me what the notation means!) These are the only chester wills I can find, other than a slew where Hugh was a witness..... S. Pennsylvania Wills, 1682-1834 JACKSON, JOSEPH. Londongrove. September 5, 1760. December 15, 1760.
