Heather I am wondering where my Fortune Jordan came from. She was married to Samuel Bass Jr. b abt 1750. They lived on the NC/Va border and owned land in Northampton Co NC and Greensville Co Va. Samuel Bass Jr's father Samuel Bass Sr was next door neighbor to an Arthur Jordan in NC. 1790 Northampton Co census has their names next to each other. I had assumed this was my Fortune Jordan's father. The Reavis family's Jesse(?) also married a Fortune Jordan daughter of Arthur. That Fortune was a generation older it seems than my Fortune. Does anyone know if my Fortune is a Jordan and who her parents were? My Sterling Bass b1771 their son had a son named Hartwell also b1793 Do you think my Samuel Sr and your James were brothers? They all lived around Jack Swamp in NC and Fountain creek in Va.

You are probably right about her father being that particular Arthur Jordan in Northampton co. as that one named a daughter Fortune in his will of 1751. I have his wife as Sarah Clark. This is supposed to be a part of my Jordans, but I have to prove the link.

Below there is mention of Jack Swamp. Where is this located in North Carolina? Could this be Jackson Swamp? Also, Does anyone have information about Alex Jordan in North Carolina? He might have been the son of James and Susan Jordan born about 1800. I would appreciate your help.
