1826 Jordan – Co. Longford, Ireland

 

My link with Jordan is the fact that my widowed great great grandmother, Bridget (Slattery) Markham (1820-1898)  married Nicholas Joseph Jordan (1836-1903) , son of Nicholas. and Sarah Jordan. There were many other Jordan – Markham descendant marriages in later generations.

 

 

 

      At the age of 31, Michael Jordan was convicted in 1826 of the “crime” of administering unlawful oaths, a process arising out of the rural dissatisfaction with British rule and discrimination against Catholics, particularly in impoverished rural areas. The main cause of civil unrest in Ireland in the 1820s was poverty combined with unemployment. The payment of tithes to the Church and onerous property rents to landlords were also constant sources of discontent and causes of rebellion.

 

        Michael (later, in the Colony, Nicholas) was born in Taghshinny in County Longford in 1795. He had been married to Sarah Smith, whose parents were Edward Smith and Ann McCormack, prior to his incarceration, and at the time of the trial, had two children, of whom more below. His occupation was as a Dry Cooper.

 

       Jordan’s trial took place in Longford, the county town of County Longford in Ireland. A Catholic, he was sentenced to Life and transported, along with 198 others (of whom seven were convicted of the same offence in Co Longford), to New South Wales.  He petitioned for his release  but was unsuccessful:

The Boyne arrived in Port Jackson on Saturday 28 October 1826 after a voyage from Cork of 121 days. The convicts were mustered on board by Colonial Secretary Alexander McLeay on 2nd November 1826. The Monitor remarked that the detention of the prisoners of the Boyne was protracted because they were awaiting arrangements to be made for the immediate assignment of all of the prisoners^[2]. They were not landed until early in the morning on 10th November when they were inspected by the Governor and were reported to be clean and healthy.

 

         The Ship’s Indent records that he was “disposed of” to Dr Redfern, (whose nephew W R Watt, who was to have a professional relationship with Jordan in later years, managed Redfern’s lands in the Lachlan River region).. It is not known exactly where Jordan was between 1826 and 1828. By the 1828 Census, Jourdan (sic) “… was in the ‘household of’ (i.e assigned to) “John Grant 60 miles west of Bathurst”. Grant had very close relations with Redfern, so it would be quite possible that Jordan had uninterrupted service with either Redfern or Grant from the time he left the “Boyne”. Grant’s property, “60 miles west of Bathurst”” would have been at Belubula, only 40 miles from Milburn Creek.

 

While, he owned and lived on Clifton Park after his freedom, it is more likely he and his family were two or three miles north on Milburn Creek in the employ of W R Watt. He could not have been living on unleased land (Clifton Park site) as he was still assigned. The question of just when he moved to Milburn Creek, and where on the creek he raised his family in the 1830s, is examined  in “Milburn Creek Pioneers – Markham or Jordan?”

      His wife Sarah 35 and two daughters, Mary 13, and Ellen age 10, arrived on the “Boyne” on 6 August 1833, under the Government scheme where families were reunited with well behaved convicts, even before freedom. They left Cork on 15 April 1833 with 14 other mothers and 39 children in the same category.^[3] According to Sarah’s Cowra Free Press obituary,^[4] they went immediately to ” her homestead at Milburn Creek where she had resided since her arrival in the Colony.” This is doubtful, for reasons stated above, which are reinforced by her Town and Country Journal obituary,^[5] which stated “….arrived at Milburn Creek, a short distance from the scene of the lamented lady’s death, where they settled down for many years; eventually removing to Clifton Park, on the banks of the Lachlan River.” In the ensuing years three sons were born to the couple at Milburn Creek – John Nicholas J on  18 July 1834, Nicholas Joseph on 6 September 1836, and William Patrick on 6 June 1838.

 

His Conditional Pardon was granted on 1 October 1841. Following this he was free to apply for leases of land. ^[6]

 

On 12 November 1843, he wrote to Sir Thomas Mitchell, Government Surveyor, in the following terms: ^[7]

Sir, I beg leave to request you will cause to be put up to Lease for one year the following portion of land formerly leased by Mr William Watt my Agent for me, viz, 1100 acres, bounded by Milburn Creek, County of Bathurst on the West, and likewise by Thomas Higgins purchase being Lot 34.

I am, Sir, Your Obedient Servant, Nicholas Jordan, Milburn Creek, Lachlan 12 November 1843.

To: Sir Thomas Mitchell, Surveyor General.

There is a note in the margin, suggesting he had earlier applied for land a mere six months after being freed :

“Notation on the reverse: Vacant. This land was let on lease to the present applicant as lot 30 on 16 March last, but the licence was subsequently cancelled in consequence of the balance having been omitted to be paid as estimated? To me in Colonial Treasury letter 43/119. “

Some time later, the Government withdrew the previously advertised 1102 acre block at

 

the junction of the Lachlan and the west side of Milburn Creek, breaking it up into several smaller blocks. Jordan became the owner of some of these and established Clifton Park. I cannot establish specific timing.

 

As will be seen in the obituaries below, the family and subsequent generations remained in the area as settlers and farmers.

ooooooooooooOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo

    Mrs Sarah JORDAN.  Death of an old identity.

A very old identity has passed away to her rest. We allude to the death of Mrs Jordan, who has been associated with the district since its infancy. This sad event took place on Sunday last at her homestead at Milburn Creek where she had resided since her arrival in the Colony. Mrs Jordan came to Australia from her native town, Tipperary, Ireland about 60 years ago, following her husband. They came to Cowra and settled down. At the time of her death, Mrs Jordan was 106 years old, having been born in the year 1786. She was fond of recounting incidents in her early life, and had a retentive memory for facts. Among her recollections was the Irish rebellion in 1798, events connected with which she could clearly recall. She had three sons and two daughters, all of whom live in the district. The funeral took place on Tuesday last, and the body was interred in the presence of a large concourse of mourners. The Rev P J Doran officiated at the grave.[ Cowra Free Press 30 September 1892]

Death of a Centenarian.

One of the oldest and most respected residents of the Mount McDonald district, Mrs. Jordan, senr, passed quietly away on Sunday last, at her residence, Clifton Park, aged 103 years. The deceased lady was a native of County Longford, Ireland, and left there in the early portion of the year 1832 in company with her husband and two little children for the purpose of founding a new home in what was at that time a new country. After a brief stay in Sydney the Jordans, after a journey attended by many difficulties and hardships, arrived at Milburn Creek, a short distance from the scene of the lamented lady’s death, where they settled down for many years; eventually removing to Clifton Park, on the banks of the Lachlan River, where the whole of the remainder of her life was spent. The head of the family died 22 years ago at the advanced age of 93 years. Mrs. Jordan loaves a large family, and numerous grand and great-grand children, for whom sympathy is widely felt. The funeral started on Tuesday for Cowra, where the remains were to be interred by the side of those of her husband. [Australian Town and Country Journal. Sat 8 October 1892.]

THE LATE MISS ANNE (sic Ellen) JORDAN

The death occurred at Darbys Falls on Sunday of a very old and estimable colonist, in the person of Miss Anne Jordan. The deceased lady, who had reached the advanced age of 95 years resided almost the whole of that time in the Cowra district. The funeral took place on Tuesday and was very largely attended. Very Rev. Fr O’Kennedy performed the last rites. [Cowra Free Press Thursday 23 December 1915.]

This marriage of Mary Jordan and Bernard Grogan is interesting. The pair had both arrived in Australia on 6 August on the “CAROLINE”, Mary as a 10 year old with her sister and mother, and Bernard as an 11 year old along with his mother. On arrival the families parted ways. Eight years later, Bernard married Sarah Cahery, with whom he had one son, William J Grogan (who became a very well known and regarded farmer in the Yass district). Sarah died in 1842 and Bernard and Mary married five years later in Bathurst. A story of a ‘shipboard romance….taking 14 years to fruition?’

THE LATE MR. J. N. J. JORDAN.
The above mentioned gentleman died at his late residence, Darby’s Falls, on Saturday last. The late Mr. Jordan was born at Milburn Creek, near Mt McDonald, on July 18th, 1883 (sic), consequently he was in his 83rd year. A little over four years ago he received a paralytic stroke, as a result of which he was confined to his bed up till the time of his death. Previous to being stricken down he followed farming pursuits and took a keen interest in politics. He was the first Postmaster at Darby’s Falls, retaining that position for over 30 years. Used, as he was, to the ” strenuous life,” he bore with Christian fortitude his four years of physical helplessness. A more upright or conscientious man never drew the breath of life. Eight up to within a few weeks of his death he was a voracious reader, and kept himself conversant with the doings of the world. He was frequently at- tended by the Cowra priests, and died fortified by the Sacraments. He leaves 4 sons, Patrick William and Nicholas Bernadine (Darby’s Falls), John Edward (Mount McDonald), Thomas R., (man- ager for Jas. Martin & Co., Temora), and 4 daughters, Mrs T. Markham (Darby’s Falls), Mesdames H. Grogan, W. A. Markham, and Miss S. J. Jordan (Cowra) to mourn their loss. The funeral to the Darby’s Falls cemetery on Sunday evening was a large one, Rev. D. O’Kennedy officiating at the grave-
side. R.I.P. [Cowra Free Press 4 July 1917.]

The late Mr Nicholas JORDAN

            Our community was shocked and deeply grieved on Sunday evening when it became known that Mr Nicholas J Jordan of Clifton Park, Darbys Falls, one of the oldest natives of the district, had breathed his last. The late Mr Jordan, who had not enjoyed robust health for some years, sustained a very severe shock on 26^th ultimo, when apprised of the death of his old neighbour and intimate friend, Mr Robert Newham. After the receipt of the news, he sat in front of the fire in his sitting room, brooding over the event, and expressed the opinion that his time upon earth was also rapidly drawing to a close. At 6 p.m. he retired to rest and shortly after, a very severe attack of diarrhea set in, which continued unchecked until Friday last, where an already delicate constitution was reduced to a very serious condition.  On Saturday he received the consolation of religion from the Rev. P J Doran, and when the Rev. gentleman left him, he appeared to be cheerful and resigned, but very weak. During the same night he had several fainting fits indicating weakness of the heart, but rallied lightly on Sunday morning. Towards the afternoon of the same day Mr George Elliott of Mt McDonald, conversed with him, and later on Mr Phillips Solicitor, called and was recognised by the invalid. After replying to some questions and, while Mr Phillips was in the act of reading the last Will of the dying man, he quietly and peacefully breathed his last, without the slightest struggle, failure of the heart’s action being the immediate cause.

           The late Mr Jordan was the son of one of one of the earliest pioneers of the district. He was born at Darbys Falls on September 6, 1836 and died on his 67^th anniversary, after spending the whole of his life in the district. He was a widower, his wife having predeceased him about three years, but he leaves no issue. An aged sister was Ellen Jordan, and brother Mr John N Jordan, both of whom are residents of Darbys Falls, are now the only survivors of the family, but they have numerous relatives throughout the district. The coffin containing the remains of as good and honourable a man as ever existed was removed from the deceased’s late residence to St Raphael’s Church, Cowra on Tuesday and was taken thence to the cemetery the same afternoon, the very large funeral cortege which was composed of residents from all parts of the district, bearing ample testimony to the very high esteem in our much lamented old friend was held by all classes. [Cowra Free Press Thurs. 10 September 1903.]

Mrs Nicholas JORDAN formerly Mrs Edward MARKHAM of Spring Vale died at Clifton near Darbys Falls. Aged 78 years.

 “The wife of Mr Nick Jordan, of Clifton, near Darbys Falls, was gathered to the great majority on Wednesday morning, 6^th Instant, at the advanced age of 78 years. The deceased lady was very well preserved for her years and would most probably have lived for many years if she had not encountered an attack of influenza and pneumonia in an acute form some weeks ago.

The late Mrs Jordan was one of the oldest residents of the district. She was twice married, her first husband being the late Mr E. Markham, lessee of the Milburn Creek Station, and a highly respected pastoralist. She married Mr Jordan about 23 or 24 years ago. She was the mother of Mr Markham, Sen., of Mt McDonald, and Mrs O’Leary, Mulyan, and amongst her grandsons may be included Messrs. Markham Bros, Sawmill proprietors, of Mt McDonald. Her marriage connections in this district are pretty extensive, embracing nearly all the old pioneer families. The funeral was a very large one, reaching Cowra  between 1 and 2 p.m. on Thursday, when the body was removed from the hearse to the church, where customary prayers were recited by the Rev. D. O’Kennedy. The remains were subsequently conveyed to the local cemetery, the Rev. O’Kennedy performing the final rites. Widespread sympathy is felt with the mourning husband and relatives. ” [Cowra Guardian, 23 June 1898.]

Patrick JORDAN

It is with feelings of very deepest regret I desire to record the death of Mr Patrick Jordan, which sad event took place at his late residence, Milburn Creek, on the 23^rd Ultimo, after an illness extending over a fortnight. The sdeceased, although apparently robust and healthy, had not been by any means strong for a period of seven years, about which time he contracted a bronchial complaint from which, up to the time of his demise, had been an acute sufferer. The treatment of the most skilled of the medical faculty failed to afford more than the most temporary relief. The late Mr Jordan was a native of Milburn Creek, his birthplace being only a mile distant from where he expired. He was only 50 years of age and his many excellent qualities of heart and mind made him an universal favourite. A devotedly attached wife and eight children survive to mourn the loss of an affectionate, kind, and indulgent husband and father. All that was mortal of as good a man as ever drew the breath of life was interred at the cemetery on Sunday last, when a very large number of sympathising friends assembled to pay their last tribute of respect to the departed. The deepest sympathy is felt in the surrounding district for the sadly bereaved family. [Cowra Free Press 8 March 1889.]
