Son of Jacob Verdon and Maria Badie.

More about his father:

Jacob Verdon was probably born between 1600 and 1610 at La Rochelle, France.

Married Maria Badie, daughter of Thomas Badie and Aeltje Braconie, between 1626 and 1630; (either just prior to immigration or just after arrival at New Amsterdam).
John Reynolds Totten, "Aeltje Braconie-Baddie-Cool-Bredenbent Family Notes", New York Genealogical & Biographical Record Vol.65, pp.234-245 (1934): p.236 "as early as 1626".
Harry Macy Jr., "Some New Light on Aeltje Braconie and Maria Badie", New York Genealogical and Biographical Record Vol. 142, pp. 21-36 (2011): 142:32. Married "say 1630 on Manhattan Island".

Little is known of Jacob Verdon, the progenitor of the Verdon, Ferdon and Pardon families in America, he appears only once in the New Netherland Records, although his first name of Jacob is apparent from the patronymic of his children. He had to have been in the New Netherland Colony very early as his daughter Magdalena was called a native of New Netherland when she was married in 1645. An abstract from the early Dutch records in 1634 names Marritgen Thomas, widow of Jacob Janss from Rochel. Arguing that in a settlement as tiny as Manhattan was in 1634 it would be highly unlikely that there was another Jacob with a wife named Marritgen Thomas, it has been presumed that this record refers to Jacob Verdon and Maria Thomas Badie. In which case it tells us Jacob's patronymic, and therefore the name of his father, Jan (probably Jean). It also states that he is from "Rochel" which most likely refers to La Rochelle, home of the Huguenots in France. However, the index to the Reformed Church of La Rochelle (FHL film #119956) shows no Verdons during this time period. The possibility still exists that Jacob could have came from a small village in the vicinity of La Rochelle. The Amsterdam marriage and baptism indexes, as well as the index of the Bibliotheque Wallonne of Leiden, contain no entries for Jacob or his wife. Her place of origin remains unknown.
Harry Macy, "Origins of Some New Netherland Families", New York Genealogical and Biographical Record Vol.123 (1992): 123:23. From New Netherlands notarial abstracts, translation by the staff of the New Netherland Project, Albnay: "Dirck Corss and Claes van Elslandt, both having been long in the service of the West India Company in New Netherland, declare at the request of Wouter van Twiller, formerly director there in the name of the Comp(an)y, that they have known him in New Netherland and that they had also been council members in Fort Amsterdam on 18 November 1634 when the director had Marritgen Thomas, widow of Jacob Janss, from Rochel, summoned on account of some names which she had called him because he was supposed to have spoken dishonorably to her. Before the council she delared that Wouter van Twiller said or did nothing of the sort.".

The early generations of the Verdon family are covered by John Reynolds Totten in "Verdon Family Notes," published in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, vol.64, pp.105-132, April 1933. William J. Hoffman in "Brouwer Corrections," NYG&BR 69:172-180 (April 1938) followed with corrections to "Verdon Family Notes," particularly in regard to the Brouwer family descendants.
Descendants are found with the surname spelled variously as Verdon, Ferdon, Fardon, Perdon, etc.

On 18 Dec 1658, a suit was initiated by Thomas Verdon before the Orphan Master's Court at City Hall, New Amsterdam, "Mr. Paulus Van der Beek appears in the place of Tomas Verdon's son and is (directed), that when Tomas Verdon comes, he is to make a settlement of his wife's (Mary Badies's) estate." Apparently this was not completed, and four years later on 8 Feb 1663, Adam Brouwer (for his wife Magdalena Verdon), Thomas Verdon, and Arien Willemsen (Bennet) again appeared before the Orphan Master's Court and requested action in that Paulus Van der Beek should be ordered to let them have "their father's property." A week later on 15 Feb 1663, their mother Marritie Tomas (Mary Badie) made her deposition before the Orphan Master's Court. The Orphan Master's Court decided that the property and persons were not within their jurisdiction and suggested that the petitioners address themselves to the Director General and Council of New Netherlands. On 1 March 1664, a petition by "Willem Willemsen Bennet, Thomas Verdon, Adam Brouwer, and Adriaen Willemsen (Bennet), coheirs of Thomas (error for Jacob) Vardon, praying that Paulus van der Beecq, husband of said Vardon's widow (Mary Badie), may be obliged to account for their paternal estate." This was followed on 10 May 1664 by a warrent to "Sheriff Hegeman to put Adriaen, William, and Marietje Williamsen Bennet in possession of a portion of their late father's lands, pending their suit against Paulus van der Beecq, their stepfather."

New Netherland surrendered to the English invasion fleet in early September 1664. The New Amsterdam Court records of 13 Oct 1664 show that "Willem Willemszen and Thomas Verdon, inhabitants of Gowanus, appearing with them Thomas Fransen, carman, complain of the great injury inflicted on them by some English, about twenty persons in number from one of the ships lying in the Bay...The above named Willem Willemszen declares that they took away his powder, lead, and gun; also the stocking and shoes from his feet; further six to seven pounds of rolled tobacco just spun; and a young hog together with a red under-waistcoat. And with a hanger they severly struck Tomas Verdon's wife, whilst the above-named Verdon was out with the above-named Tomas Fransen, and inflicted a blood wound on her arm. (They also) took the goods out of the chest and strewed them over the floor, keeping watch at the door, so that he should not run out to call the neighbors; and when they missed him, because he climbed out through a back window, they hastily took the goods from the chest and strewed them over the floor, as already declared."
