Hi - This response to Thall451. I, too, am interested in William JORDAN's (1743-1815) parentage. I also have that he married Mary LETTS but no date or location. I have he was b. Halifax N.C. or VA and died at Jordan Fort, Franklin County, Illinois. Also have that they had 13 children. But, who are his parents? Children: Reuben, b 1761 N.C., Matilda, b 1763 N.C., Elias b 1764 Warren Co., N.C., Nancy b 1765 Warren Co., abt 1765, Bute N.C., Thomas 1768 N.C., Francis 1770 N.C., Joseph abt 1774 N.C., James abt 1776 N.C., Alice abt 1779 N.C., Elizabeth abt 1781 N.C., Susannah abt 1783 N.C., and Mary (Polly) abt 1786 N.C.
