Hi- an update on my previous post. I just came from the Nash Register of Deeds...Ella Proctor (of Nash Co.) was (supposedly) 18 when she wed C.S. Jordan (Smith Jordan) in August 1878...Previous records had them married in 1873- which made her only 12! So- with the date of 1878, which is listed in Court records, she would actually have been 18 or just a few months shy of it. the date of marriage was listed as Aug 18, 1878. It was performed by JC Harper, J.P. and witnessed in Nashville NC by W.O. Cobb, Jno. Proctor, and W. G. Griffin. Her parents listed as Jno. I. and Ella Proctor. (I checked around and Jno. stands for John or Jonathan most likely). Smith was 24 at the marriage date. That checks out with the birthdate I have - If he was born in 1855 - he was actually 23 at the marriage...that is a common error...unless the tombstone is wrong, which is just as likely... I still need help with Ella Proctor Jordan.

(North Carolina) She married C. Smith (Mitt) Jordan b. 23 Feb. 1855, d. 12 Feb. 1929, Married in or bef. 1873. She was only 12 when they wed! Their children were Curtis, Maggie, Claude and Leon (my G Grandfather). My Grandmother is still living - Her name is Ella Marie Jordan Owens. I am at a brick wall with my Ella Proctor Jordan....I cannot seem to find anything except her tombstone. She and Smith are buried at Peoples' Chapel Cemetary near Wilson, Elm City, NC off Highway 301. I do have a photo of her though. It is on my website www.geocities.com/ncproctors I am also at a brick wall with my Robert Floyd Owens. He married Annie V. Windham and they lived in Fountain, Pitt Co, NC. My Grandpa is still living - he was born in 1924. I think Robert and Annie got married in Pitt Co. I have not been to the Pitt courthouse yet....I plan to go next week if I can. Robert and Annie are also pictured on the website. Thank you so much!!! Robin - ------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?
