Is this William the William of Triune in Williamson Co., Tennessee? I ask because a distant relative in my Jordan line identified my William Jordan as the "Triune Jordan" (incorrectly).

I am still looking for the parents of William Jordan born about 1811 in TN and his wife Mary H. born 1817 in TN. They had 12 children. In 1850 TN Census the family is in Haywood County. In 1860 TN Census the family is in Lauderdale County. In 1870 TN Census the family is in Dyer County. Does anyone have any information on this family. Thanks! Diane G. Borgman dborgman@mail.win.org

My Absalom Jordan was b. c 1792; died Sep 1859, and resided in Bibb Co. GA. He md. c1811 to Judith (Judy, Juda) Roberts, d/o Reuben Roberts of Jones Co. GA. They had the following children: Nancy b. 1813 md. Burwell Parker Wiley b. 1821 (k.c.w.) md. Sarah Ann Francis b. 1826 md. Asa McKinney Lucy Ann b. 1828 md. James Richard Jones (my line) James J. b. 1834 (k.c.w.) md. Miss Wise Elizabeth b. 1836 md. Warren Summerline Mary Jane b. 1838 md. Thomas Raband Caroline b. 1841 md. John Roberts (cousin) Have no idea who Absalom's parents were. Any ideas? Barbara S.

My brickwall is Enoch Jordan of Orange Co. NC re-constructed tax list. His wife is Elizabeth Step (Stepp, Stapp) daughter of Elizabeth Lucas Stepp and Joseph Stepp of Person Co. NC. Enoch's brother in law Joshua Stepp m. Nicey Dollarhide in Caswell Co. NC in 1789 and Enoch was the bondsman. A sister in law Sarah Stepp married Thomas Hargiss and is named in Elizabeth Step (senior's will). Enoch and wife emigrated to Rutherford Co. Tn in time for daughter Mary's marriage to Matthew Dickey in 1814. By 1823 they bought land (a quarter section) in Andersonville, Lauderdale Co. AL. Adjacent quarters were bought by Matthew Dickey and a Robert Jordan (unknown relationship) 1827 Nancy Jordan marries James Gibson in Lauderdale Co. AL 1830 Enoch and son Jonathon are located in Giles Co. TN near the community of Dianna. Enoch must have died before 1840. John (Jonathon) dies before 1844. 1844 Elizabeth Step Jordan leaves a will in Giles Co. Tn. She leaves 15 acres on Bradshaw Creek (which is adjacent to a Robert Clark land). She names the heirs of John, Mary Dickey, Nancy Gibson, Archibald Moore Jordan (b. ca 1811 my forebear) William Jordan and a grandson Pleasant Harvey Jordan. Archibald marries Lucinda Brown in 1831 Giles Co. Tn.. I have contact with researchers from his son Jonathon Josiah b. 1832, Jeptha Jasper b. ca 1836 and my line Jackson Monroe Jordan b 1852 d. 1923 Lauderdale Co. AL..And prior contact with a researcher who is now deceased from a second marriage to Martha Stagg and their son Ralph Jordan b. ca 1868 Lawrence Co. Tn. My father Marvin Jordan has done the YDNA test and has a perfect match with a Phillip D. Jordan of Massachussetts. 25/25 match and we don't have a clue who the common ancestor might be.

My ancestor was Labon Jordan born 1788 in Va, son of Edward Jordan who was born 1742 in Va. Edward was married to Susanna. They had a number of children. Don't know where they all scattered to, but my Labon and wife Mary Ann Scott, dtr of Wm Scott, moved to Tn. Mary Ann and Labon died in Maury County Tn.This is all proved.

I'm looking for information regarding William Jordan (1748-1822). He married Sallie Wood in 1769. I "think" he was from Lunenberg Co., Virginia. William was the son of Thomas Jordan (c 1700 - 1768) Any relatives out there? I'm interested in William for a DAR supplemental line.

Abigail, I would also like to know if any of the mentioned families have participated in the Jordan DNA testing. I am looking for any information about my great-great grandfather, John M. Jordan. He came to Texas from Louisiana but I have no idea if he had been there long or where he came from before that. He was a Captain in the Texas Cavalry from Hopkins County, Texas during the Civil War. He had married Margaret Minerva Elder whose family came from North Carolina by way of what is now Tennessee. Her Grandfather was a Patriot of the American Revolution and I am trying to prove John's family. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Mary

Do you know of other Jordans in Franklin Co., Ga in l8l6 and prior? Have you seen a Nathan or Isham Jordan there in early l800s, ca l805? I am a DNA cousin via my ancestor John Jordan of Barnwell Co., S. C. to around area of Macon, Ga by l8l6 and in Baker Co., Ga before l822. Regards, Kraig Spivey

Dear Rachel, I have no idea as this was in a box of old memorabilia belonging to my grandmother which she gave to my aunt and which my aunt gave to me. I would imagine that her mother, Leila Wetona PRINCE either had this or was given this by her mother, Martha Gaines JORDAN. I think my grandmother must have copied it as it is written on an old piece of insurance company stationary and I recognize the name on the stationary as belonging to a friend of hers. It is typewritten on an old typewriter as my grandmother died in 1941 in Birmingham, Ala. I wish I could be of more help but this is all I know. My grandmother's grandmother could have dictated this to her. I just hope it will help someone. Thanks for inquiring.

Abigail, This is VERY interesting information that you have posted.

if you're looking for Gray Jordans, always be sure to look in Maine, as there are many who later moved South for land or occupational reasons

I still wish I could figure out where my Gray Jordan plays into all this. I cannot connect him with these families although he is in the same area at similar times and Gray is not common as a first name. It is not the Gray Jordan connected to Penelope Hargrove/Hargrave--that is a much younger Gray Jordan in another state. Mine is in MS in the 1800'd--married Margaret Chandler in Franklin County, GA in 1816 prior to the move to MS. Kathy

I'm having another whack at attempting to identify the family for Maria H. Jordan, born "about 1750", probably in Maine (died 1827 Mariaville) one clue is, she used a middle initial of H., and named one son Joseph H. Jellison now ... what surname might that H stand for ... Hanscom(b).Hanscum ? Hovey ? Hadley ? Higgins ? Hagen ? Hill ? Haines/Haynes ? Ham ? Heard ? Haley ? Hamlin/Hamblen/Hamilton ? Hutchins ? Hopkins ? what other "H" names were there, associated with the Jordans, and perhaps the Jellisons; in Biddeford, in Union River, in Falmouth/Cape Elizabeth ... or in Kittery/Berwick/Dover ? another horrible thought ... the cursive N is sometimes mis-transliterated as "H" ... what N names are there in this constellation ... perhaps Nason ? this "H' might stand for her maiden name, it's possible she married a Jordan, rather than being born one -- it's also possible that her name was not Jordan at all anyone have any bright ideas ? Candy
