I HAVE A CURIOSITY ABOUT THIS MARY JORDAN. I HAVE A MARY JORDAN BORN C. 1890S IN PROBABLY Racoon Twp., Frazier Bottom WV. CAN THIS BE THE SAME. I THINK SHE WAS THE SISTER TO MY GRANDFATHER CALVARY JORDAN B.1885. SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A MENTALY SLOW PERSON. IN ONE OF THE CENSUS, IT LISTED HER AS SUCH. MAYBE A DIFFERENT MARY, BUT IF SO SHE MAY HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH OTHERS LATTER IN LIFE.
