Hi, My brick wall is my GGrandfather James Jordan. I found him in the 1880 census record in Allens, Ala. It showed him as being 30 yrs. old and born in Ga. He was married to Carrie----- and had two sons Tom and Mack, Mack is my Grandfather. I'm trying to find out who his father is and where in Ga. he was born. I have our family DNA on record but no matches yet. Would appreciate any help. Marcie

I have had some problems with my email so I am sending this message again. If you received the first one, please forgive the duplication. I am trying to find any information on the following Jordan family that appears in the 1850 Marshall Co. KY Federal census. Page 962 Jordan, Elisabeth, age 49, Female, born SC. Jordan, Fames F, age 17 M, Farmer, born in Georgia Jordan, Josiah, age 10, M, born in TN Right next to this family is my REED line: Reed. Burton L, 26, M, TN Reed, Sarah C., 21, f, GA Mary E., 2, f, KY Samantha 7.12, f, KY From other records I have I know that Sarah's maiden name was Jordan. I believe she is the daughter of Elizabeth Jordan. Does anyone have any proof of this relationship. Does anyone know the ancestry of Sarah Jordan?

My Jordans are from Germany; specifically Westphalia (Brakel and Erkeln). In Germany the family goes back to @ 1500. [If you have ancestors from there, see the database of births, deaths and marriages compiled at this URL...http://www.lesum.de/juling/erkelnlist.htm] About 6-8 Jordans immigrated to New York in the 1850-60s and were butchers and meat merchants in Manhattan. Several fought in the Civil War. Family surnames related to the Jordans include: Wagner, Alrogge(n), Vogt, Gorges, Borges, Herbold, Cattanach, and Fleckenstein. -----Original Message----- From: JORDAN-D-request@rootsweb.com [mailto:JORDAN-D-request@rootsweb.com] Sent: Saturday, February 05, 2005 10:00 PM To: JORDAN-D@rootsweb.com Subject: JORDAN-D Digest V05 #9

I know what it is to hit a brick wall so you will understand how sorry I am to say that I will probably be of no help to you. I really know very little about my Jordans, but I do know that Joseph was born in NH and traveled to Cal., and back and forth to Illinois. Nancy Long, his wife, was born in Va. The Walters side is my husbands side. The Walters he is related to founded Monroe, Wis. I dont remember any of them being in the AR area, they seemed to have traveled from NY to Wis. If I run across anything to the contrary I will be glad to let you know.

I am still trying to find the parents of Eliza Jordan, my great-great grandmother, who married David Everhart in Union Co., Il. in 1847 and appears in the census reports of 1850 and 1870 Alexander Co. as well as the 1860 Census of Union Co. as having been born in North Carolina about 1830. Catherine Jordan, probably her sister (born about 1835 in N.C.), married Frederick Everhart in the same county in 1850. John Jordan, probably her brother (born about 1824 in N.C.), married Mary Everhart in 1847, also in Union Co., Ill. (Incidentally, all these Everharts were born in Ohio, and I am still searching for their parents too.) I strongly suspect that the parents of Eliza, Catherine, and John were the John Jordan and Mary Yost who moved from North Carolina to Union County, Illinois in 1838, according to a 1998 posting on this list by Lisa Henderson. Is Lisa Henderson still subscribed to the list? Is there anyone else who can confirm this for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Dayton Cook, Aberdeen, SD

This is also my line - and I've seen this a few times as well - with Thomas Jordaine in France and son Robert who was father of Samuel. No solid proof yet, that I've been able to find.

I'll be away till Monday. I don't have any direct knowledge of your relation but I will probably be able to give you some ideas. In case I forget, poke me upon my return.

I am looking for information of the ancestors of Ephraim Jordan, b. 1842 in SC. He arrived in Dallas County, AL between 1846-1850 with his mother Millrey (Milbry), sister Rebecca and brothers James and Isaac. No one knows who his father was but he was not listed with the family in the 1850 Dallas County, Alabama census. Ephraim married (1) Julia Ann Phillips on 11-19-1865 in Dallas County, AL and (2) Mary Jane (Jennie M.) Newton on 9-25-1890 in Marengo County, Al. Ephraim passed away 2-5-1921 and is buried in Sweet Water Cemetery in Marengo County, AL. I would appreciate any possible leads on Ephraim's mother Millrey (b. NC) and her unknown Jordan husband.
