C. Jordan and Mary Jordan. My great-grandfather Levy Etheridge married Mary M. Etheridge at A. C. Jordan's house on 26 Jan. 1885 in Crenshaw Co. AL. According to a family story, she wanted to go with her family (in covered wagons) to Texas but he didn't want to go so she left and he stayed in Crenshaw and Covington Co., AL. Three years later he married my great grandmother. I found the A. C. Jordan family in the Leon precinct of Crenshaw Co. AL in 1880 but have not be able to find them before or since. Joan

They are my grandparents. I'm not sure which county in Alabama they lived in. I was adopted and have found my birthmother. Her maiden name was Sarah Ann Evans and her death certificate shows her parents names were Jessie Evans and Blanche Denny. She was born in 1927 and her SSN shows it was issued in Alabama. I tried to get her birth certificate from the health department, but they said I'd need her parents full names and where she was born. You can email me at rdf@cableone.net.
