Tristram Frost Jordan is the author of The Jordan Memorial, Family Records of the Rev. Robert Jordan and his descendants in America, compiled 1882. Tristram is the son of Joseph and Mary Jordan.

According to this book (page 244), Joseph is the third son of Rishworth Jordan and Abigail Gerrish Jordan. He married 22 Jan 1789 Mary, eldest daughter of Major Samuel and Abigail (Frost) Leighton of Kittery, Maine.

After Joseph married, he came to the house of his father, Judge Rishworth Jordan, of Biddeford.

Ancestoral line for Joseph is:
Joseph born 1759--Rishworth--Samuel--Dominicus--Robert.

It appears the original burial site of some of Joseph's family was at Lower Biddeford Burying Ground and they were later moved to the Jordan Cemetery in Biddeford Pool, York County, Maine. This is partly based on info provided by FAG contributor Charlie Morgan and that the memorial pages at the Lower Biddeford Burying Ground memorial page for four members are still there. They are:
Rishworth Jordan #47317769
Abigail Gerrish Jordan #47317606
Jane Jordan #47318074
