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.
