Hi, list members! If any of you have any knowledge of folks on the 1860 Escambia County FL Census -- Alfred, age 60, with Sophia age 35, Ezekiel age 25 (and children that I believe are mine, but listed improperly -- there is Biddy, a female, and Ladstone age 12, and a female which I think should be a 4-yr old male Ely Mack but is listed as Ellie, as I recall -- not having that right in front of me) -- they are living next door to the widow Sarah Emmons Nobles and her family. Sarah Emmons Nobles being a neighbor is significant for my Jordan fellows: she was the sister to Emmons brothers who all had daughters who married my three Jordan brothers: James Ladson, b. 1846; Ely Mack, b. 1856, and Owen M., b. 1861 (my line). I am puzzled by who "Alfred" might be -- since we are looking for the father of our Jordan boys as "Isham" or "Isom" (which might be the Biblical name for "John" if any of you can verify that). It has been suggested that perhaps a neighbor gave the census information and did not understand the Head of Household's name and just reported it as Alfred. "Sophia" fits, since my Owen M.'s mother was Sophia -- James Ladson and Ely Mack had a different mother, name unknown (despite what has been reported on-line, we have no definite info on first wife's name).
