Both Nancy and Amanda are found in the descendants of Sashwell and Jeremiah Jordan families who moved from Bedford Co. VA to Breckinridge Co. KY late 18teens. Jeremiah returned to VA, but Sashwell stayed on. The JORDAN brothers married DENT sisters, and the DENT line goes back to Charles Co. Maryland. Sashwell doesn't have a daughter Nancy, (his wife is Nancy), but you might check Jeremiah & Lydia (Dent) Jordan family.

Faye, All the early Thomas Jordan researchers have seen that book and we do not agree that they are one and the same men. That birthdate is too early for the Thomas of Surry. Carleen

Thanks Faye, We will all be waiting with baited breath. Femaled out with Rachel who married Thomas White.

I'd like to have that Will! Faye

As I said, I found it in a small book(as documented previously)-- the legend for which did not get copied. For sure, I will try to track down that author's sources. The book appears to be a compilation of information she gathered from many sources. I will keep the list posted as to what I find. Faye

Virginia Magazine of History and Bibliography, Vol. 2, p. 60: (Speaking of the First legislative Assembly in America sitting at Jamestown, VA, 1619): "The representatives for Charles City were Samuel Sharp and Samuel Jordan, names that have been honored in the subsequent history of Virginia. Samuel Jordan came to Virginia at an early date. His plantation was perhaps the first in Virginia to which an alliterative name was given. It was called 'Jordan's Journey.' He survived the Indian Massacre, and gathered some of the stragglers about him at a place called 'Beggar's Bush,' where we are told 'he fortified and lived in despight of the Enemy.' Within a few weeks after his death, in 1623, his widow, Cecily, distinguished herself greatly by introducing into the Colony the art of flirting, an art which has been practiced somewhat in Virginia ever since. It was alleged that she had accepted two suitors, the Reverend Greville Pooley, and Mr. William Ferrar. Each claimed her hand. Their hot dispute as carried before the Council. That body, after solemn consideration, declared that the case was too knotty for them, and referred it to the Council in London. We are not informed as to their decision." (she married Farrar, I believe) p. 405 -- in a small article about "The Genealogy of The Cocke Family of Virginia, prepared by James C. Southall": Richard Cocke, born about 1600, died 1665 . . . His relative, Thomas Jordan, represented Warrosquyoake in the Assembly of 1632." In the will of Richard Cocke there is a legacy to his "cousin Daniel Jordan." Samuel Jordan was a member of the first Legislative Assembly in Virginia from Charles City (1619); his plantation was called in the alliterative style of that day, 'Jordan's Journey.' Thomas Jordan was Burgess for Isle of Wight 1629, 31, 32. Richard Jordan was a Burgess in 1676 and Sheriff of Nansemond in 1718. George Jordan was a Burgess from James City County in 1644. The name Jordan was also a prominent one at the beginning of the eighteenth century in Bristol Parish (Prince George). Volume 3, p. 186: Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents Note [211] Thomas Jordan [1],900 acres in the County of Warrosquoiacke, near the head of Warrosquoiacke River, beginning at the western side of an old Indian town. Due for the transfer of 18 persons. By West July 2d., 1635 NOTE [I] Thomas Jordan was born in 1600 and was living in Virginia in 1624 (Hotten); Burgess for Warrosquoiacke (Isle of Wight) 1629, 1631, and Sept. 1632, and Commissioner in 1627. His descendants have been numerous in Isle of Wight, and one branch of the family possessed the land granted in the patent above until about 1840, when it was owned by Thomas Jordan who married Celia Cosby and had six sons, all of whom died without issue. Richard Jordan was Burgess for Isle of Wight 1676. Thoas Jordan Sheriff of Nansemond in 1718. Thomas Jordan patented land in Nansemond in 1666. James M. Jordan member of the House of Delegates from Isle of Wight 1824. Dr. George H. Jordan member of the House of Delegates from Isle of Wight 1879-80.

I think the story on this was that Lucy Corker married a Thomas Jordan, but it was not the son of Samuel. First because noone has been proven as the son of Samuel, but there was another Thomas Jordan in that area and somehow they proved it was more likely him. I think it had to do with age and when they each died or something. It's been a while since I heard all this so don't quote me on the exact facts!, but we should check out the will to see exactly what it says. connie Grund

I have an Elijah JORDAN b. 1806. Died Gallatin County, Illinois. He m. Anna Garrison in 1831. They had 8 children, one being Elijah Warren JORDAN.

I am not researching Lewis particularly but am searching for an unknown male JORDAN possibly born 1830-1834 in Marion county. He married Sarah GRAY/GREY cir 1850. Their first child was Martha E. (Eugenie) JORDAN and 2nd William Madison JORDAN. He died before 1855. Do you have any other JORDANS that were in Marion County?

Anyone have any link to Walter Jordan or son, Elijah M. in Madison Co., IL? Jordans and Dennys were there from marriage and census records. Walter's wife may have been a Vineyard. Elijah married Louisa Denny in 1873. Been stuck here for years. Smallest lead graciously accepted! W. B. Robinson

I'm researching Thomas M. Jordan born 7 March 1812 in old Barnwell District, SC who died 8 Dec. 1893 in Winnsboro, SC. His parents were said to have died when he was quite young. He learned the carriage trade in Augusta, GA. According to census records of 1880, his father was from Virginia and his mother was from Georgia. He married Frances Elizabeth Walker in 1839. Any help with the parents of this Thomas Jordan would be so greatly appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

Seeking clues on Achia, were her parents b. in Maine? Was her mother also named Achsah? Grateful for any help. Viola

Recently, at the Albemarle County Historical Society, Charlottesville, VA, I located a small book: MARRIAGES of some VIRGINIA RESIDENTS 1607-1800, by Dorothy Ford Wulfeck, Volume I Surnames A-H, pub. 1986 Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, MD. The librarian photocopied the Jordans for me (pp. 65-69), but I neglected to ask her to photocopy the legend which would identify the volumes cited below (will go back and get). There are two entries for Thomas, b. 1600, as follows: JORDAN, Thomas, b. 1600; d. 1685; m. Lucy Carter. 31V359 JORDAN, Thomas, b. 1600, England, son of Samuel, who came to Va., in 1609, m.

I know of the name Lynn (Leon) Boyd Jordan who had one son Clyde Dozier Jordan born 1896 in Florida---died 1975 in Marion County Florida. I have been reading JORDAN-L @rootsweb.com and find these are very uncommon names in the JORDAN family. Supposedly the father LBJ was born in Kentucky.
