Johnson, and Sarah W. Jennings. The names of the children sound a lot like the Jordan names from North Carolina, so it is thought that this Samuel was the grandson of Josiah and Moourning Rix Jordan. This paragraph in Octavia's book is in error. I am a descendant of Archibald Moore Jordan. His father was Enoch Jordan and mother Elizabeth Stepp. Elizabeth Stepp Jordan left a Will filed in 1844 in Giles Co. Tn. The widow of Samuel Jordan also Elizabeth was still living in a different taxing district. The 1844 Will of Elizabeth (wife of Enoch) names Heirs of son John deceased, Mary Dickey (wife of Matthew), Nancy Gibson (wife of James), Archibald Moore Jordan (wife Lucinda Brown), William Jordan and Pleasants Harvey Jordan, grandson. (We assume Pleasants Harvey was the oldest son of John (Jonathon)) The location of Elizabeth at her death was near the community of Dianah in the northeast corner of Giles Co. The Samuel Jordan widow lived more in the southcentral area of Giles closer to the Alabama border. Octavia did a fabulous job for the Jordan's but she was not perfect and we have spent a great deal of time untangling her error on our line. We have been unable to establish the parentage of Enoch. He is first found in Orange Co. NC in 1790. There is probably a relationship between him and a Robert and Thomas also of that county. A Thomas married Prudence Hargis. A Robert married Anne Pinkerton widow of David Pinkerton and Robert's second wife. Later in about 1823 purchases of quartersections of land in Lauderdale Co AL were adjacent: Matthew Dickey, Enoch Jordan and Robert Jordan. The land was located about 6 miles sounth of Giles Co. TN and 3 miles west of Limestone Co. AL We have been unable to track Robert Jordan. Enoch moved back to Giles by 1830 census and does not appear on 1840 census but his widow (?) Elizabeth does and Samuel's widow Elizabeth does. La Nita Jordan Wacker
