Could you please have a look for:

John Jordan, b. abt. 1650 in Dorchester, Massachusetts, died 1728 in Dorchester
Jacob Davis, b. 1640 in Gloucester, Massachusetts, d. 1685 in Gloucester
Joseph Haskell, b. 1646 in Gloucester, Massachusetts, d. 1715 in Gloucester
Thomas Miller, b. 1605 in Chertsey, Surrey, d. 1676 in Brookfield, Massachusetts
Andrew Lester, b. 1618?, d. 1669 in New London, Connecticut

and another...This is John Jordan though I'm not sure it is the one you are looking for.

Very strange, I have a copy of a 1656 will in which the testator refers to his son "in Virginie" as a beneficiary. Do you have any further suggestions please? i.e is there another Virginia anywhere else in the world?

Virginia is definately not in New England- where did the person who wrote the Will live?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
