William Worthington Jordan
William Worthington Jordan (1849–1886) was a hunter, trader, and writer in Southern Africa.
Born at Wynberg in the Cape Colony, Jordan was of mixed race. He became a trader and hunter in what is now Botswana and Namibia. In 1880 he established a trading post in southern Angola.〔Chris Marais, Julienne Du Toit, ''A Drink of Dry Land'' (2006), p. 174〕
Having bought a large area of land from the Ovambo people, Jordan donated some of it to Boer settlers who in 1885 established the short-lived republic of Upingtonia. This did not long survive his death in 1886.〔W. J. De Kock, ed., ''Dictionary of South African biography'' vol. 3 (1977), p. 249〕
Jordan's ''Journal of the Trek Boers to Mossamedes'' appeared in the ''Cape Quarterly Review'' in 1881.〔Victor L. Tonchi, William A. Lindeke, John J. Grotpeter, ''Historical Dictionary of Namibia'' (2012), p. 186〕 In 1883 his ''From Damaraland to the Nhemba Country: Extract from the Diary of W. W. Jordan'' appeared in the same journal.
