Jordan was the oldest of ten children of James Rogers Jordan and the former Viola Bailey, who married in Louisiana in 1875. According to his grave marker in Arcadia, the Bienville Parish seat of government, Jordan (pronounced JER DEN) served as a Private First Class in the 83rd Infantry Division during World War I.〔 He was elected sheriff in 1932 and served two terms, having left the office in 1940, when he was succeeded by his chief deputy, Prentiss Morel Oakley (1905 – 1957), another participant in the ambush of Barrow and Parker.〔List of Bienville Parish sheriffs, Office of Sheriff John Ballance, Arcadia, Louisiana〕
As sheriff, Jordan succeeded J. E. Currie, who had served in the position since 1908.〔Bienville Parish Sheriff’s Department, List of Bienville Parish sheriffs〕 In 1936, Jordan was among regional sheriffs who came into Grant Parish to direct posses in pursuit of Walter Johnson, the assailant of Sheriff Wyatt Luther Nugent of Colfax and Nugent's deputy, Delmer Lee Brunson. Johnson had fled into a wooded area about Lake Iatt.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sheriff Wyatt Luther Nugent, Deputy Delmer Lee Brunson () )〕
