    2. Archibald Moore Jordan was b. ca 1811 NC probably Orange Co. His father was Enoch. His siblings were John (deceased before 1844 when their mother's Will was filed in Giles Co. TN); Mary who married Matthew Dickey in Rutherford Co. TN 1814; Nancy who married James Gibson in Lauderdale Co. AL 1827; William and himself. There was also a grandson named in Elizabeth Stepp Jordan's will Pleasant Harvey Jordan. Archibald married Lucinda Brown ca 1831 in Giles Co. TN. Her parents were William Brown killed in the War of 1812 Tippecanoe Indiana where she was born. and mother Elizabeth. Later, Elizabeth married a James Davidson and is located in Giles and Lawrence Co TN near her daughter (or daughters) and second family. Archibald and Lucinda had children: Johnathon Josiah ca 1832 (went by Josiah) Artemecia Jeptha Jasper ca 1836 (went by Jasper) Parthenia Sophronia Rosalba Orlando Ulysses Cicero Josefina Jackson Monroe b. ca 1852 (went by Monroe) The family was in Giles Co.

Archibald remarried a Martha Staggs and had three more children: Ralph 1867 Burton 1869 "H" 1871 ---census only shows initials and I can't remember whether male or female. Archibald is still living for the 1880 census and we presume died in Lawrence Co. TN before the 1900 census. Sophronia went out to Searcy Arkansas in late 1800's to see one of the above daughters her Aunt who was known as Addie--which one we're not sure. Her husband may have left her and started another family--we have been unable to find divorce records. Josiah her brother may have gone to Searcy AR for a period of time. Jasper settled in Obion Co. TN after 1860. La Nita Jordan Wacker
