To the Jordan researcher. I have a great aunt who married a Jordan. Don't know his name, but hers was "Willie". I think they eventually moved to Nashville. "Willie" is apparently (according to census, short for William in this case. Do you know of any of your Jordan men who married a lady named "Willie"? -----Original Message----- From: Sandra Lee [mailto:ihunt4kin@hotmail.com] Sent: Saturday, May 04, 2002 5:00 PM To: TNBEDFOR-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [TNBEDFOR] searching for smith's from bedford co I'm interested in your SMITH family. Do you know if any of them married into a JORDAN line? Two of my Zach JORDAN's sons married SMITH women. My JORDAN family lived very close to the location you described. They lived there from about 1820 to 1850 and then moved to West TN and settled in Henderson & Madison counties. Thanks.
