Hello, My grandmother was Annie Belle Jordan ,who says she was born in N Little Rock to her knowlege, but her mother died when she was 11 and her dad when she was six months or so ca 1889. His name was ??? Jordan. Her mother was Maggie Belle LEE Jordan who moved to Parker CO TX with family after her husband died. My gr grandmother was Maggie Belle LEE whose family lived in Copiah CO MS and Hinds CO MS then moved on to Drew CO AR. She married ??? Jordan who died from a horse back riding incident ca 1889. My gr gr grandad was Anson Pollen LEE who married Arabella Nicholson Bedwell. My gr gr gr grandad was John G LEE who married Polly Lewis. I think my gr gr gr gr grandad was Saymer LEE who married Nancy Woodruff. If you could help me on the Lee line or Jordan it would be wonderful.

I was disappointed that John was not listed, and no children were baptized for them. Her second marriage to Wm Harville ("Harvell") is also listed in the minutes. One more little clue!!
