On 22 december I saw this message on the Pike County List from Carole Bryant and it caught my eye as I have all but the Carlisle name in my family. See below the message for the remainder of mine. " Posted on: Pike County, Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Pike/1809 Surname: Jordan, Sims, Jeffcoat, Carlisle ------------------------ Did your Joel Jordan have a brother named Henry that married a Catherine Thomas?" In my family I have a Lottie Jordan who married Frank Sims, a child of John Henry and Laura Flowers Sims. Im told that Jordan is/was pronounced as Jurden. I have a Jeffcoat whose daughter was Susan Ellie Harris. She married Wessley Perry Grant. Does any of this sound familiar? My direct line is Sims and I would be interested in sharing any information that I have.
