New to list. Searching for information on my 2x great grandfather, John M. JORDAN, who was born in Clearfield Co. in 1823. His parents were Thomas and Mary JORDAN. The family later moved to Mercer Co. and then on to Cass Co. MO. Does anyone on the list recognize these folk? Judy in Iowa

Hi, I'm a Jordan descendent and collect census records even when the family or branch has little to do with mine (yet). Here are a couple that may help your search. 1860 Census Knox Twp (Millport & Ansonville), Clearfield, PA, Pg 229, Aug 17th Dwelling#1562, Family #1531 John Jordan, age 39, Laborer, Real Estate Estate Value 1000, Pers Value 150, Birth Place: Penn Jane Jordan, age 38 Theresa Jordan, Age 8 Alexander Jordan, Age 6 Henry Jordan, Age 1 1870 Census Gulich Twp, Clearfield, ED 277, Image 4 (Ancestry.com) Dwelling #21, Family #21 Jordan, John M., age 58, farmer, born PA Jordan, Jane M, age 58, keep house, born PA Jordan, Alexander, age 24, Works on farm, born PA Jordan, Martin, age 20, Works on farm, born PA Jordan, Annie, age 18, At home, born PA Bloom, Terrissa, age 12, house???, This young girl is apparently the help but she's probably also, a distant cousin. I haven't been able to attach her to anyone yet.

CORRECTION! The 1870 census in my first message is actually the 1880 and I do have a connection, sort of. Terrissa Jordan is married to Martin Hoover Bloom (I'm a Bloom descendent, too). So, if you have verification that John M. was the son of Thomas, I love to know your sources.

Peggy and Judy: I have John M JORDAN as the son of Samuel and Nancy (PATTERSON) JORDAN and John's wife as Jane HEGARTY. If this is incorrect or perhaps a different JORDAN family, help! lol Jacquelyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "DeHoog" <wletto@charter.net> To: <PACLEARF-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2005 10:49 PM Subject: RE: [Clearfield] JORDAN - Clearfield Co. 1823 > CORRECTION!

Jacquelyn Judy wrote back and indicated that my (our) John M. Jordan was not hers. However, thank you for giving me the name of the parents. My next question is from what family does this Jordan descend? I'm a descendent of Mark Jordan and Eva Bloom Jordan; however, Mark had, at least, one brother Frederick who had, at least, three sons, John, Frederick, Jr., and Henry. Judy, if you are still following this string, I just had an epiphany. Marks brother Fredericks sons John and Frederick, Jr. each named a son John. I show John Jordan bn 1808 dd 3/23/1890 Pennsylvania, which I realize doesn't match your Missouri, but I'm throwing it out there anyway. Also, Frederick, Jrs. son John was born 10/10/1799 in Pennsylvania. I have no other info.
