First of all, the two DNA samples are mismatched by one marker out of 12. That could mean there was a mutation on one gene sequence which could happen any generation. There may be a match here or not. Probably need to upgrade the tests to 25 to make sure. I think this discussion should be continued a bit on this line (William Enoch). George is mostly used by the Arthur Jordan family, but around 1780, people of all families started using George Washington as a given name.

If I read the discussion correctly--William Enoch Jordan b. 1803 is descended from a George Jordan b. 1784 Bedford Co. VA. (Larry Jordan's line) Then, the same email suggests that there is a kinship with a William Jordan who married an Elizabeth Woodson 1771 and later a Lucy Stith then migrated to KY. Finally, this William is presumed descended from the Thomas/ Samuel line. First, it was my understanding that the William who married Elizabeth Woodson remained in VA. And, that the William who married Lucy Stith and migrated to KY was a different person. Second, it was my understanding that George Jordan comes from the line of Arthur Jordan whose brother was named George. (Robert Jordan's line) Lastly, Norman Jordan (on this list) has claimed descent from Robert Jordan of New England--is there confirmation or negation of a relationship between the New England Jordan's and the VA/NC Jordans? Still looking for Enoch Jordan found on 1790 re-created tax list for Orange Co. NC wife Elizabeth Stepp (Stapp). They migrated to Giles Co. TN (about 1811) with a brief stay in Lauderdale Co. AL.
