Betteann: Pardon me for butting in on you but in this Pendleton will book that you have, is there any other Jordan's listed? I also noticed the name "Simms" in your previous message. Is there any "Simms" wills in this book? I hate to impose, but could you look this up for me? I have been trying to find my gggg-grandfather's parents for a few years now with no luck. I believe he was illegitimate and his mother's name was Matilda. His name was Payton. His first name was John but he went by his middle name of Payton, born in 1837. Any help you could give me? Much thanks in advance.
