Posted on: Wilkes Co. Ga Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Wilkes/682 Surname: Jourdan ------------------------- Larry, I have no information about your Wm. Enoch Jordan. Also, according to my information, Benjamin Jourdan's father was George Jordan,who married Patience Warren. Here is the other information that I have about him: Legend has it that he was killed by Indians, but I have no proof of this. According to Bob Jordan (jorbob@webtv.net) Benjamin's estate was administered by his brother Josiah Jordan in 1789 in Wilkes Co. GA. In the minutes of the inferior court, Wilkes Co., GA , the sons and daughters of Benjamin Jourdon asked that their uncle, Josiah Jordon, be appointed their guardian. It was granted 26 Sept. 1791. Josiah Jordon is named guardian to the heirs of Benjamin Jourdon, 24 Feb.1801. According to Suzanne Ammons, a researcher in Wilkes Co., there are several pages of estate and will papers listed in Will book "DD" of Wilkes Co., but that it was destroyed by fire in a lawyer's officewho had borrowed it. Information was listed as being of pages1,22, 150, 151, and 190. A Charles Jordin also was listed in this index of the years, 1779-1792. Information about Benjamin is in "Early Records of Ga, Vol. II, p. 344, where there is a long list of estate papers/ ....who was paid and so forth. The only Jourdan/Jordon listed in Wilkes Co. burials of Revolutionary soldiers was Reuben, of the Va militia. Some information from jorbob@webtv.com. He suggests that I hunt for more information in the records in Greenville Co., VA, Wilkes Co., GA, and Oglethorp co. GA. Early records in Wilkes Co. GA have information about estate of Benjamin Jourdan, Josiah Jourdan's guardianship of the children, board and singing lessons paid for Warren in 1802 and 1803, and receipts to James Jourdan from his father's and grandfather's estate. -- Researching the following surnames: Pickett, Gordon, Jourdan, Boulware, Bowler, Alston, Almand, Merrill,Cowan,Lovvorn
