Hi April, Sorry, but I can't answer any of your questions. Those are questions I am trying to find answers to myself, thus, my reason for trying to identify families from SC & GA that came to Bedford Co in the early 1800s. My JORDANs settled around Sinking Creek in Dist 18, as well. Thanks for responding and giving me some leads! :o) Sandra >From: PaperHeath@aol.com >Reply-To: TNBEDFOR-L@rootsweb.com >To: TNBEDFOR-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [TNBEDFOR] Recognize anyone? >Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2002 17:04:57 EST > >Sandra Lee, > >The Pearsons that you mentioned are mine.
