Posted on: Wilkes Co. Ga Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Wilkes/596 Surname: Jordan, Jourdan ------------------------- I am seeking information about the descendants of William Jordan who lived in Wilkes Co., between 1790 and 1830. His father was Matthew Jordan b. 1712 in Albemarle County, Virginia. Some of Matthew's children migrated to Wilkes Co. Others, including Jonas Jordan and children, continued on to Autagua Co., AL. You may contact me at ljordan316@aol.com or visit my web site at http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/j/o/r/Larry-E-Jordan/ Here is all I know about Matthew's son William: Descendants of William Jordan Generation No. 1 WILLIAM JORDAN (MATTHEW8, SAMUEL7, THOMAS6, THOMAS5, SAMUEL4, ROBERT3, THOMAS2, ROBERT1 JORDAINE) was born 1756 in Albemarle County, Virginia or Amelia Co., VA, and died in ??Wilkes Co., GA. Notes for WILLIAM JORDAN: This William Jordan is about the right age to be the father of William Enoch Jordan who migrated from this area to Heard Co., GA by 1840 and to Coffee Co., AL by 1850. William Jordan probably had at least 5-9 children if he lived a normal "Jordan life." Child of WILLIAM JORDAN is: 2. i. MATTHEW JORDAN, b. ??GA; d. ??GA. Generation No. 2 2. MATTHEW JORDAN (WILLIAM9, MATTHEW8, SAMUEL7, THOMAS6, THOMAS5, SAMUEL4, ROBERT3, THOMAS2, ROBERT1 JORDAINE) was born in ??GA, and died in ??GA. Children of MATTHEW JORDAN are: i. JAMES E. JORDAN, b.
