There are sources that show that William Jordan had a daughter Elizabeth Jordan (1640- ) who was the great-grandmother of founding father George Wythe. Wythe was a prominent lawyer and law teacher and mentor to Thomas Jefferson and John Marshall among others. He was a noted jurist as well as a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

George Wythe's father was Thomas George Wythe iii. (1690-1729). Thomas's mother was Anne Sheppard (1678-1740) and her mother was Elizabeth Jordan (1640-). Are there other sources to corroborate this information?
