If we are talking about the same Jordan, he was born in NC in 1803 and married Elizabeth Shaw and my family then came from their son, Spencer. I can't find my documentation, but have it noted that Jordan's parents are Burrell (b.1777) and Rebecca (b.1778) and there was a brother named Cordy or Cardy (b.1807). Seems like I found it by going county by county through an old census in NC.
