      Maurice Fletcher
      Of my family, Giles Fletcher, poet, diplomat and Member of Parliament's wife Joan Sheafe's brother Edmund Sheafe, married Joan Jordon, daughter of Nicholas Jordon and Joan Croft, Nicholas Jordon is the son of John Ignatius Jordon, who is the brother of Thomas Jordon of Dorset.
      Thomas Jordon of Dorset is the grandfather of Samuel Jordon of Jordon's Journey, who first named his property " Beggars Bush " after the play by John Fletcher playwright, who followed William Shakespeare as playwright for the King's Men, John Fletcher playwright is the nephew of Giles Fletcher.
      Joan Sheafe and Edmund Sheafe are the children of Thomas Sheafe and Mary Harmon.
      When it comes to Samuel Jordan's family, there is more having to do with John Fletcher of Jamestown, Second Charter of May 23, 1609, plus the Palmer and Beach families and others.
