Folks: I know how eager each of is to locate that big breakthrough in our Jordan line. However, we could better sift through the quantity of postings that don't "relate" to "me". For example, none of the postings for SC, GA, AL, etc don't belong to me....., yet I don't know that until I spend time opening the messages. My William Jordan was in Carter County, KY, prior to 1850, probably from VA. Knowing that, I would list my address line query as William Jordan VA > KY (by 1850). Anyway, thank you, for early on stating who, where and when! Ron ______________________________ Will Rogers never met a lawyer ______________________________

Trying to find the parents of WILLIAM JORDAN (08/25/1810 - 01/18/1866) of Vale, Carroll County, Tennessee. According to the 1850 and 1860 census records he was born in North Carolina. He married SUSANNAH LOWRY (12/12/1810 - 10/11/1873). One daughter, Frances Rozella Jordan was my GGrandmother. Thanks. Knox Martin The South is a land that has known sorrows; it is a land that has broken the ashen crust and moistened it with tears; a land scarred and riven by the plowshare of war and billowed with the graves of her dead; but a land of legend, a land of song, a land of hallowed and heroic memories. To that land every drop of my blood, every fiber of my being, every pulsation of my heart, is consecrated forever. I was born of her womb; I was nurtured at her breast; and when my last hour shall come, I pray God that I may be pillowed upon her bosom and rocked to sleep within her tender encircling arms. Edward Carmack

For weeks now I have deleted every [JORDAN] e-mail that has entered by box. I reaswon, poor subject heading. "Ancestor search" tells me nothing, "dead end", "seeking" all are useless. I get well over 100 emails a day and delete anthing that doesn't have headings that connect to me. I look for "Thomas and William, late 1700's in PA", or "Thomas, Ireland to PA. If it says Jordans late1800's in PA, I know it's not me. I am certain I could be offering information to some of you but never get to the letters because the informations isn't readily available in the subject line. I know there are others like me who would appreciate clearer subjects.
