I am looking for Joseph Henry Jordan born Dec. 1875. and died in Sylacauga, AL. Aug. 1942. He married Elizabeth Elvira Sarrat (not sure of spelling) She was daughter of Simon Peter Sarrat and Georgianne Fair. Do not have the dates. Joseph Henry's father was William Jasper Jordan. I do know that Joseph Henry at one time lived up near Gadsden, AL. and also in Milstead, Ga. Do not have any dates for this. This is some of Joseph Henry's children-----Sanford Newton, Joe, David or Geet, Viola who married Amon C. (BUD) Moore, Lennie who married Amos Lowe, Joseph Henry and Elvira are buried at Whites Chapel Baptist Church up near Gadsden, AL. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. My dad, Sanford died when I was only 6 and this is all the info I have on his family. Thanks, Ruth Jordan Deason

Becky, that's entirely possible since I have not found more about this family. I have a cousin who has been researching the Freeman line, but I haven't heard from her in a while. I don't have her email address handy. If I find it I'll let you know. Miriam Smith Baton Rouge, LA

There may be a connection for Exum. There was a John Jordan (c.1712-1754). He was probable youngest son of George Jordan and Mary Browne. He originally lived on Lightwood swamp in southern Surry Co. near his father and then moved to Southampton Co. VA. John had a son William who administered his father's estate in 1754. It appears William married Mary Exum (from court records) by 1753. I have never found the children of this William Jordan, but it could be that this is a connection. If there are any living male members of this family, they would be good candidates for testing against my DNA (Arthur Jordan line from Surry Co. VA).

Am looking for parents etc of Louisa Jordan born 1831 and married James Russell Thornberry, where and when unkown, but first child born GA 1851. James Russell was born and lived in Habversham County Georgia until 1867 when the family migrated to Madison County, Arkansas. James Russell Thornberry [email protected]

Pvt. in NC troops in Rev War, according of DAR ID #124581 listed Arthur, also #133121 This Arthur tells us in a Northampton Co., NC, deed (Bk. 2, p. 100) that he was the son of George Jordan who was granted the land Arthur was selling, in 1730 (George Jordan Sr. had died in 1718) and had conveyed the land to him by gift deed in 1749. He sold the land jointly with his wife Elizabeth. John Wohlslagel of Centerville,OH, sent me the FGS for this Arthur's family he cites as his sources "Abstracts of Wills - Granville, Co., NC" by Joe Gwynn. "Southern Families" by Boddie; Virginia Historical Magazine, Vol 4 or 9. & the DAR Patriot Index, p. 375. Arthur was soldier in the Revolutionary War. Arthur Jordan wills to wife Elizabeth 1/3 rd of manor place whereon I now live, a slave during her life, and all she had when I married her, 6 cows, horse, saddle and bridle; to son Thomas, my manor plantation whereon I live, excepting my wife's third; to daughter Sarah Neal and daughter Elizabeth Daniel, to each, a slave; to son Marcillus and daughter Martha, Penelope, Jane and Charlotte Jordan, all that remains after debts paid; to son Nimrod, a mare and horse. Exrs; Elizabeth, my wife, and my sons Marcillus and Thomas Jordan and son-in-law William King. Owned 1100 acres in Granville, NC, also, owned 19 slaves

I have an Absalom Jordan b. c1792, GA, who was md. to Julia Roberts. She was d/o Reuben and Margaret Hudson Roberts of Jones Co. Absalom and family resided in Bibb Co. GA. Ch: 1. Nancy b. 1813 md. Burrell Parker 2. Wiley b. 1821; killed c.w.; md. Sarah; 3. Francis b. 1826; md. A. McKinney 4. Lucy Ann b. 1828 md. James Richard Jones (my line) 5. James J. b. 1834; killed c.w.; md. Mary Elizabeth Wise 6. Elizabeth b. 1836; md. George Ramer 7. Mary Jane b. 1838 8. Caroline b. 11 Mar 1840 md. John James Roberts (cousin) I 'm having trouble determing the ancestry of Absalom. I'm aware of two other Absaloms in GA about this time--one in Elbert Co. md. to Mary and one in Wilkinson Co. who was md. to Lydia Davidson. I am not been able to connect my Absalom with either of these. Barbara S.

Thanks but that's not the same family. I am pretty sure that Susannah was the daughter of Samuel Jordan son of Edward but I need proof. Apparently no one has unearthed a will! Thanks anyway. Linda Silvestri

Wonder if he might connect to my George W. Jordan, born c1826 in Georgia. St. Clair Co. is next to Shelby where my George married Minerva C. Harmon in 1857. He remained in this county until he died. I have no information on him before this. Janet

I'm sorry about the confusion. I do have THOMAS JORDAN as the husband of Mary LETTS and "all those 13 children." My husband is downline of Thomas' son, William, who married Sarah Fields. I do not have any documented proof of Mary Letts. Sadly, I do not even have a source listed as to where I got her name. Oh, dear, not a very efficient geneologist! It would be great to know who Thomas JORDAN's parents were. Do we go back to Arthur????. Let's keep in touch. Maybe this DNA thing will prove something. None of my Jordan "boys" have had it done, but we can't go back further that Thomas. Later, mary

I am looking for info on a James JORDAN born abou 1807 living in Walker Co GA in 1850 and in St Clair Co AL in 1860

On the 1850 and 1860 censuses, what did it show for state of birth? misfit

Stopping at Thomas should not preclude your Jordan boys from testing. If a match comes up, then we know where we DO connect and can aim our search in that direction. Maybe it will even point us to Arthur after all! All of my contacts on the Jordan line do not descend from an all male line, so none of us can test. If you know someone on our lines who can test, please convince them! We need someone on a proven line back to Thomas Jordan and Mary (Letts?) who will do this for us. It benefits everyone.

I descend from (4) 1.1.3.1 Elizabeth Emily “Emily” JORDAN and George Henry BABB, my great-great grandparents. I have a picture of Emily, I believe, circa 1888, if anyone's interested.

I'm honestly not sure where they came from in NI. I only know what I found on census images. I will hold onto your info and if and when I find anything, I'll let you know. Thanks for the reply! Ella

If you have a male Jordan in your family please consider participating in the Europe and USA Jordan Family DNA project. For more information on this project click here http://jordannctoal.homestead.com/DNAindex.html The project is looking for male Jordan's that can document their lineage with records back to Thomas Jordan b 1634 d 1699 married Margaret Brasseur. They became Quakers. Please contact Bob Jordan at [email protected] The Richard Jordan I family of Isle of Wight and Surry Co, VA continue searching for all descendants of their ancestor. http://jordannctoal.homestead.com/DNAindex.html Thanks, Janet Burks

Searching for information on my great grandfather Thomas Albert Jordan, b. 30 Nov 1835, probably in Lauderdale, Tennessee. Married Elizabeth Blackwell Gause. He died in Garvin County, OK 3 October, 1911 and is buried in Green Hill Cemetery, Davis, OK. His parents were William Jordan and Mary Bell, both of whom died in Obion County, TN. Family tales say Thomas was one of a large family of children, maybe 17, ten of them girls. Thomas and Elizabeth had a daughter, Mary Truma b. 24 October 1870 in Dyersburg, TN. Elizabeth died when Mary Truma was a baby. Thomas remarried and had a daughter Emma by the second wife. I will appreciate any information or leads someone may have.

1880 United States Census (Census Place: Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) 1880 Household Record: John M. Jones (b. 1820 in PA), Wheelwright & Step-father of William Gray Russell, son of William Russell, Sr., b. PA, (deceased by 1851) & Anna "MARIA" JORDAN Russell Jones/ "Maria Jones" on 1880 Census, age 47/ b. 1832/1833 in PA to parents born in GA. NOTE: The Jones family and Wm G Russell were all living at 217 Greenwich Street, Philadelphia in 1864 when WGR was attending the City High School, according to the school's archived records. ANNA MARIA JORDAN RUSSELL'S FIRST CHILD BY HER FIRST HUSBAND at age 17/18: William was married to Sarah Branch Jennings at the time of this 1880 census, because their son, William "Willie" Russell was born in 1880. This was his second marriage and they had three more children before she died. I am puzzled why he is not on the census with his wife, unless she needed special care and had to stay with her family until the baby was born so he could continue to work. William Gray Russell was also widowed after his first child, Mabel Russell was born 1878-1879 to he and his first wife (name unknown). William Gray Russell (age 29, b. Oct 1850 in PA) was a Clerk on 1880 Census and so was his half-brother, George Jones (age 27, b. 1852 in PA). George Jones was probably born to widow Anna Maria Jordan Russell and her second husband, John M. Jones, when she was 19/20, but there is the less likely chance that George Jones was John M. Jones' son by his first marriage -- I didn't know my g-grandfather had a half-brother until this 1880 census went "on-line". I know nothing more, except for a rumor that ANNA MARIA JORDAN was of American Indian descent, so if you know of a daughter born to a JORDAN family in GEORGIA in 1832/1833 named "Anna Maria" or just "Maria", since she went by her middle name only in 1880, please let me know!

Michael Jordan m. Sara McCune Nov. 02, 1860. He was the son of Henry JordanSr., Elizabeth ?? I know a whole lot about Sara's family and very little about Michael. Kitty

Not much I'm afraid. Some have the opinion that he went North to Indiana and married Isora Fleck.
