(1731 - 1821)

Colonel Tristram, youngest son of Captain Samuel and Olive (Plaisted) Jordan, was born at Winter Harbor, May 13, 1731. He became one of the first merchants on the east side of the Saco river, at the falls, and resided in what was known as the Pepperell House. At the age of twenty-three, in 1754, he was chosen a selectman and at about the same time was commissioned a captain in the militia. In 1787 he was chosen a senator from York county to the Mass. general court. At the close of the revolutionary war he removed from the falls to his estate at Deep Brook, where he died Nov. 1, 1821, aged ninety years.
In addition to the offices mentioned, he served as a magistrate for many years, and in 1776 was commissioned a colonel by the council of Mass.
