I am looking for confirmation of the parents of Thomas Jordan who married Mary (possibly Letts). Supposedly they married in Granville County, NC. I cannot locate anything to confirm or deny his parentage. I was under the impression that his folks were: Arthur Jordan and Elizabeth Ann Turner. My Jordans are first found in IL building the Jordan Forts. Seven brothers went there, and many feel this Thomas is not the son of Arthur above. I did find another Arthur who died in 1752 in Northampton, who also had a son Thomas. Does anyone have data on that Thomas?

Pvt. in NC troops in Rev War, according of DAR ID #124581 listed Arthur, also #133121 This Arthur tells us in a Northampton Co., NC, deed (Bk. 2, p. 100) that he was the son of George Jordan who was granted the land Arthur was selling, in 1730 (George Jordan Sr. had died in 1718) and had conveyed the land to him by gift deed in 1749. He sold the land jointly with his wife Elizabeth. John Wohlslagel of Centerville,OH, sent me the FGS for this Arthur's family he cites as his sources "Abstracts of Wills - Granville, Co., NC" by Joe Gwynn. "Southern Families" by Boddie; Virginia Historical Magazine, Vol 4 or 9. & the DAR Patriot Index, p. 375. Arthur was soldier in the Revolutionary War. Arthur Jordan wills to wife Elizabeth 1/3 rd of manor place whereon I now live, a slave during her life, and all she had when I married her, 6 cows, horse, saddle and bridle; to son Thomas, my manor plantation whereon I live, excepting my wife's third; to daughter Sarah Neal and daughter Elizabeth Daniel, to each, a slave; to son Marcillus and daughter Martha, Penelope, Jane and Charlotte Jordan, all that remains after debts paid; to son Nimrod, a mare and horse.

William Jordan was born in SC on 8 Aug 1798 and died in Clay County, AL, on 4 Dec 1884. He was a veteran of the SC Militia, enlisting at Edgefield Courthouse near the end of the War of 1812, and lived in Pendleton and Pickens Districts in SC and Randolph and Clay counties in AL after his discharge in 1815. William was married to Elizabeth Davis (1795-1858) in SC and had the following children: Andrew Jackson Jordan (1830-1901), William David Jordan (1832-1910), Sarah Garrett. Jordan Rasco (1836-1929), Jane Jordan (1839-?), Margaret Jordan (1841-?), Charles Jordan (1841-?), Newton Jasper Jordan (1842-1863) and Priscilla Antoinette Jordan Rasco (1845-1918). Andrew J. and William D. Jordan were born in SC; the others were born in Randolph County, AL. William was also married to Nancy C. Green (a widow, 1830-1896) and had the following children: John C. B. Jordan (my g-gfather, 1861-1941); Lizzie Jordan Allen (1862-1881); Annie Jordan Burks (1865-1933); Frances Ida Jordan Yarbrough (1867-?); Alice Ada Jordan Morris (1869-1947); and Willis Joe Jordan (1871-1943). All the children were born in what is now Clay County, AL. Family stories tell that William had three older brothers, all veterans of the War of 1812, and none of them settled in Alabama, moving instead to Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas (didn't everybody have those same three brothers?). Based on land and census records, William's mother may have been named Mary and was most likely a widow by 1820.
