My great great grandmother, Eliza L. Jordan/Jourden was born about 1830 in North Carolina. In 1847, she married David Everhart (born about 1825 in Ohio) in Union County, Illinois. David and Eliza seem to have lived in Missouri for a short time, because my great grandmother, Florance Evaline Everhart, was born there about 1857, although her siblings were all born in Illinois, where the whole family appears in the 1850 and 1870 censuses of Alexander Co. Frederick Everhart, apparently a close relative of David, was married to Catherine Jordan in Union Co. Catherine was probably a sister to Eliza. That family also lived then in Alexander Co., Illinois. I would appreciate any information available about Eliza Jourden, her parents, and related families. -- Dayton Cook
