As you know some of the public records are not correct either. The record I sent to you was confusing as it said contradictory things. Do you have any of the records from GCT? I have entered quite a bit of info into my database about Samuel and Elizabeth Jordan and their descendants. I will be glad to share with you if you don't have it. The land of the Jordan's is about 10 miles from where I live.

I just sent you what is available for Giles Co TN Land Entries. Doubt they are in error as I personally knew the submitter. She was a Very accurate researcher. Also you can use the numbers, date and name and write to TN State Archives to inquire. I am not related to any of your ancestors. Just trying to help you. Ginny ginnykeefer@cox.net
