You should be able to find it in your local library if you are in Arkansas. It is a good chance he made it that long, at least long enough to be recorded. If not him, maybe his wife. I know I found my own great great grandmother there and she had lived several years longer than I realized. If you need a researcher, I can suggest a good one. Good luck!

Here is some of the info I have: Cisero (also spelled: Cicero; as well as Sirus & Cyrus on 1880 AR census') Jordan...married Mary E. Shadwick. Cisero was born in 1826, in TN and died in 1916 and is buried at Buffington Cemetery in Sallisaw. I do not know where Mary is buried. The Shadwick line, through Mary, is her mother: Catharine Miller, b. abt. 1810 in TN and her father: Hardy Shadwick, b. in TN. Specifically, my search is centered around Cisero & Mary's last child.......Thomas (Tom) Jordan. Thomas married Leona (Hale) Downing, it was her second marriage. They had two sons together, Rufus Cicero Jordon, my husbands grandfather, b. in 1910 and died in 1958; and his brother, Albert Jordon, b. 1913 and d. in 1983. Rufus had 3 half-brothers: 2 Downings and 1 Womack? Don't know how that name got in there. However, Thomas had a brother named Benjamin Franklin Jordan, b. 1874; and twin siblings-boy & girl named George Washington Jordan and Mary Cathrine Jordan, born 1-21-1878. George is buried at Short Cem. in LeFlore county. Any information about Tom would be tremendously helpful! Thanks so much...Debbie
