Jordan Family

This surname, found in both England and France, was said to be given to descendants ofJordan or Jourdain (flowing down), personal name sometime given to one who was baptized withholy water from the River Jordan.

The ancestors of this Jordan family came from England according to Mr. Harrison EarlyJordan [born near Clinton, Van Buren Co., AR, May 1, 1873]. The first Jordan about whom wehave definite information is James.

First Generation

1. James Jordan (Jourdin);1 farmer and livestock trader; born GA, Feb. 25, 1797; died CoxesDistrict, Cobb Co., GA, Sept. 18, 1880; shown in the Cobb Co., GA, 1840, 1850, 1860 and 1880census; married first, in Georgia, Nancy F. Dobbs2 [born Georgia, 1797/98; living Cobb Co.,GA, 1840, 1850, and deceased by 1860]; the Dobbs is given in the death certificate of Samuel H.Jordan, son of James Jordan, and Nancy F., shown in the 1850 census. Children as given by thechildren of Samuel H. Jordan [born April 16, 1821 or May 16, 1819); died April 21, 1914]: + 2. Samuel H., born April 16, 1821; or May 16, 1819; died April 21, 1914. + 3. Elbert P., born Jan. 25, 1825; died July 22, 1864. + 4. William M., born Feb. 6, 1827; died June 6, 1895.

James Jordan married second, Winifred Unknown [maiden name Unknown]; bornGeorgia Aug. 15, 1798; died Cobb Co., GA, Jan 24, 1879; first shown in the 1860 census inCobb Co., GA; no children.

James Jordan and wife joined Concord Baptist Church, in Coxes District of Cobb County,Feb 24, 1838. Minutes of Concord Baptist Church, in Coxes District of Cobb County are onmicrofilm in the Georgia State Archives, on Capitol Ave., near the State Capitol in Atlanta.

Mr. Early Jordan [son of Samuel H. Jordan] said his Grandfather, James Jordan wassomething of a horse-trader and would literally "trade his shirt" in a deal. Mr. Early Jordan gaveWilliam as the only brother of Samuel H. Jordan of which he had any knowledge.

Cobb Co., GA, was formed in 1832 from Cherokee County which in turn was formed in1831 from Indian Lands. James Jordan in various Cobb Co., GA, censuses [1850, 1860, 1880]indicated he was born in Georgia; however, he also indicated in 1880 that both his father andmother were born in Georgia. If this is accurate it means all his grandparents were in Georgia byabout 1780 at the latest and probably somewhat earlier.

Following is a copy of the Certificate of Disability Discharge for S. H. Jordan:

"Army of the State of GeorgiaCertificate of Disability for Discharge

Private S. H. Jordan of Captain F. M. Cowen's Company (E) of the 1st Regiment Georgia StateTroops, was enlisted by Capt. F. M. Cowen of the 1st Reg't. Georgia State Troops, at Marietta onthe Eighth day of January 1865 to serve until disbanded; he was born in Gwinnett County, in theState of Georgia, is forty five years of age, five feet ten inches high, Fair complexion, Grey eyes,Light hair, and by occupation when enlisted a Farmer. During the last two months said soldierhas been unfit for duty Twenty days.

F.M. CowenCapt. Commanding Company"

Keeping in mind that James Jordan's son Samuel H. Jordan was born ca. 1820 inGwinnett County, we find Samuel Jourdan, Charles Jourdan and James Jourdan are shownconsecutively on page 262 of the Gwinnett Co., GA, 1820 census. Samuel Jurdan, Jr., ofGwinnett County in Hamilton's Military District drew Lot No. 247 in Section 10 located in EarlyCo., GA, in the Third or 1820 Land Lottery of Georgia; and James Jordan of Jackson County inHamiltons BT. drew Lot No. 201 in Section 2 located in Early Co., GA, in The Third or 1820Land Lottery of Georgia [one could look at deed records in Early County to see when these landswere disposed of and by whom]. Since James Jordan is shown in Gwinnett Co., GA, in the 1820census, and prior to the formation in 1818 of Gwinnett County was a resident of parent JacksonCounty, this would make one think that he [assuming he is a brother of Samuel Jourdan andpossibly Charles Jourdan], might have been a son of one Samuel Jurdan, Sr.

Probably James Jordan was a son of the Samuel Jordan who in 1807 was a resident ofJackson County, Cochran's District and drew Lot No. 142, District No. 24 for land located inWilkinson Co., GA. The 1830 census, page 60 shows a "Samuel Jordan" as a resident of TwiggsCounty which was formed in 1809 from Wilkinson County. However, he was too young to bethe father of James Jordan, born Feb. 25, 1797. The only other Samuel Jordan appearing in the1830 Georgia census [also 1840, page 68] was in Carroll County, page 228, and he also was tooyoung to be the father of James Jordan.

The fact that Samuel Jordan in 1807 did not use "junior" as was used by the SamuelJordan, Jr., in The Third of 1820 Land Lottery of Georgia, seems to indicate that the SamuelJordan in 1807 was a "Senior." It is not clear who the "J. Jordan was who was married inJackson Co., GA, Sept.30, 1811, Polly Brown, nor is it clear who the orphans, residents of

3

Jackson County, were of L. H. Jordan, deceased. These orphans received a draw in the 1806Lottery for lands in Wilkinson and Baldwin Counties and the details were taken care for them bya man names James Whitehead.

In the Georgia Early Tax Digests are found: "Jurdin, Sml., Hancock County, CrowderDistrict, 1796, 038*" and "Jurdin, Sam 1., Jefferson County, Vinning District, 1799, 035." Landand probate records of Hancock and Jefferson Counties, GA, should be examined for possiblechildren named Samuel, James, and Charles of each of these [two} Samuels.

In Early Records of Georgia, Vol. 1, Wilkes County, by Grace Gillam Davidson, 1932,pages 27 and 264, the Court of Land Commissioners Appointed by Governor Wright to issue the"Ceded Lands"1773-1775 issued to Samuel Jourdan, "himself only", i.e., no family, from NorthCarolina, and now a resident of Wrightsborough, on January 13, 1775, 100 acres of land onSought side Ogeechee adjacent Saunders Walker's upper line. In 1789 Samuel Jourdan's propertyis shown as adjoining property of Nathaniel Coats, Sheriff who transferred 400 acres of land toWilliam Greaves. In same record, Vol. 2, pages 70, 90, and 91, Samuel Jurden is taxed in 1785on 200 acres in Wilkes County and Samuel Jurden and his wife, Jen or Jeen, Jean, sell to JesseHardy 100 acres on both sides of Well's Creed, part of tract bought by said Jorden from Thos.Holloy, Sept. 24, 1789; Sm Hollined, Edward Hardy, test." The Wilkes County Papers, page 294,show that Samuel Jourdon received the warrant for the 100 acres shown above on March 21,1775. Abstract of 1790 Tax Returns, #46 Samuel Jurdon land in Washington County, Georgia,200 acres in District D, Captain Ware's District.

Mulberry Fork water course now separates Jackson and Barrow Counties, GA. BarrowCounty was formed in part from Jackson and Gwinnett Counties, in 1914. Charles Jourdon wastaxed on the Mulberry Fork [Burge's District] in 1801 [a Charles Jordon was in Wilkes County asearly as 1785]. Radford Jordan was in the 1805 lottery list in Jackson County and was shown in1807. As previously mentioned, James Jordan was in Gwinnett County [Hamilton's District] in1819 and is shown in Gwinnett County in the 1820 U.S. Census. In Gone to Georgia it is said onpage 293, "Perhaps a link to the family in Gwinnett County, James Jordan and James Hamiltonwere joint securities for Ann, Widow of John Twitty and their son, William, in the administrationof the elder Twitty's estate in Pendelton Dist., S.C., May 9, 1791 [Court Minutes 1790-1793,page 7]."

Gwinnett County with county seat at Lawrenceville was created in 1818 from CherokeeLands and from a part of Jackson County. The Gwinnett County courthouse burned in 1871 withfew records saved. Jackson Co., GA, with county seat at Jefferson was created in 1796 fromFranklin County. The Clerk of the Superior Count has marriage, divorce, and probate recordsfrom 1800, civil court and land records from 1796. Franklin Co. GA, with county seat atCarnesville was created 1794 from Cherokee Lands. The Georgia Archives has some records ofFranklin County prior to 1850.

James Jordan had moved to Cobb County by 1840. James, aged 83, was living in 1880 in

Both District ten and Twenty were Land Districts and not Gold Districts. Reference: The Cherokee Land Lottery, by Smith F285.S64, 1969.

James Jordan was shown as widowed and disabled from "Dog bite." James and wife Winifredalong with his son William M. Jordan and wife Elizabeth A. are buried in the Mt. HarmonyCemetery, Bankhead Highway, 2.7 miles from Mableton and 1.8 miles from junction of OakdaleRoad and Bankhead Highway in Cobb Co., GA.

Mrs. Emma Lorena Jordan Owen in 1955 gave Elbert as a brother of Samuel H. Jordanand this certainly seems accurate as William M. Jourdin and wife, Elizabeth, are enumerated inthe next dwelling after Elbert P. Jourdin in the 1850 census. The 1840 Cobb County census ofJames Jordan shows only two sons at home. However, the 1830 census of James Jordan3 inDeKalb County shows three sons and one daughter. The daughter was the oldest child and hername is not known.

Samuel H. Jordan lived in Birmingham, AL, for about four years immediately after theCivil War and it is possible that some of his children were born there. In later years, SamuelJordan lived in Van Buren Co., AR, not far from Clinton near the Red River.

Elbert P. Jordan enlisted in the Confederate Army on Dec. 1, 1862 as a Private inCompany E. 1st [Gault's] Regiment Infantry, Georgia State Line. "He died in the Battle ofAtlanta and is buried in a mass grave on Peters Street, Atlanta, but a memorial Stone has beenplaced on the Jordan lot at the Glore Cemetery in Mableton."

For more data on the descendants of Elbert P. Jordan see Glore Family History andJordan family histories distributed to Jordan descendants several years ago by Mr. L. HaroldGlore, attorney and historian. Mr. Glore was admitted to the bar in 1930 at the age of 21. TheGeorgia Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vol. 18, No. 2 Summer Issue 1980, pages 101-103gives burials in the Glore Cemetery, Mableton, Cobb Co., GA 30059. The cemetery is about halfway between Clay Road and Floyd Road, on what was the Abram Glore Plantation.

All of the above children appear to have been born after the 1850 census. Georgia StateRecords, by Jeannette Holland shows "Jordan, Elbert P., decd. John G. Glore, admr., applies forleave to sell, 9/6/1869; Frances Jordan, wid., applies for year's support for herself and ‘eightminor children’, 11/1/1869, Cobb County, MIC." The 1870 census or the estate settlementshould be examined for names of these eight children.

Appendix A

Jordan Family of Virginia, Perquimans County, NC,

South Carolina, and Georgia

The authority on the early genealogy of this family is Larry R. Stanley, 130 Oak ShoresDrive, McDonough, GA 30253, telephone 770-914-9324 or <ebstanley@mindspring.com>. Allof his Jordan genealogy data are available at <http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/s/t/a/Larry-R-Stanley/GENE9-0001.html>.

The ancestors of this Jordan family came from England according to Mr. Early Jordan(born near Clinton, Van Buren Co., AR, May 1, 1873; living at Clinton, Van Buren Co., AR,1959).

From the research of Octavia Jordan Perry, John Russey, and Larry R. Stanley thefollowing genealogy is compiled:

1. Samuel Jordan (son of Thomas and Margaret Jordan); was born in Nansemond Co., VA in1679; died at the age of 40 between October 1718, when he made out his will, and June 1719,when his will was probated in New Kent Co., VA; according to Quaker records he married inDecember 1703, Elizabeth Fleming (daughter of Charles and Sussanna Tarleton Fleming ofNew Kent County. Charles Fleming was the son of Sir Thomas Fleming and gradson of LordJohn Fleming, Earl of Wigton, Scotland. Although Samuel and Elizabeth were marriedaccording to Quaker rites, they later became Episcopalians. Fleming). Children of Samuel Jordanand Elizabeth Fleming: + 2. Samuel; born 1704 + 3. Charles; born ca. 1706

4. A daughter; name not given.5. A daughter; name not given.

+ 6. Matthew; born 1716; died 1769.

In 1735 Charles Jordan was granted 400 acres in Goochland Co., VA near the mountainson Rock House Branch. The property was described, under date of March 15, 1735, as “on thenorth side of the Fluvanna River and crossing Rock House Branch.” Under the dte of September25, 1746, the property was listed to Matthew Jordan as “adjoining his own land.” It is assumedthat Charles sold the land to his younger brother, Matthew, as his own son of that name was atthe time only five years old.

Charles Jordan was listed as a member of the vestry of St. James Northam Parish,Goochland Co., VA in 1756.

26

On July 13, 1765, he made Deeds of Gift to his sons Matthew and James as follows:Charles Fleming willed 500 acres of land in Goochland Co., VA to two of his grandsons, namelyCharles Jordan and George Bates as shown in the following:

“There is on record in Goochland a deed dated April 17, 1736, from Tarleton Woodson ofHenrico County to Colonel John Fleming conveying 1,290 acres in Goochland (part of what isknown as the ‘Lickinghold Survey’) - 500 acres of said land had been given by the will ofCharles Fleming to his grandsons Charles Jordan and George Bates. And also a deed inGoochland, dated April 1736, from John Fleming to his nephews Charles Jordan, George Bates,Samuel Jordan, and Matthew Jordan, conveying 500 acres in Goochland which he had boughtfrom Tarleton Woodson.”

Only one daughter of Charles Fleming married a Jordan, Samuel, and one daughtermarried John Bates. So there can be no doubt to the identity of the two grandsons whom CharlesFleming named in his will.

2. Samuel Jordan; born 1704; married Judith Scott Ware, the widow of Peter Ware.

3. Charles Jordan; born ca. 1706; married ca. 1727, Hellenah Unknown. Children named inwill: + 7. Charles II; born ca. 1728

8. James.9. Matthew.10. Willaim.11. Elizabeth; married a Mr. Soblet.

6. Matthew Jordan; born 1716; died in 1769; married Julia Scott Ware, daughter of JudithScott Ware who after the death of her husband Peter Ware, married Samuel Jordan, the olderbrother of Matthew Jordan. They [presumably Matthew and the daughter Judith Scott Ware] hadissue of ten children. It is known that at least two of his sons migrated to Georgia, Reuben andFleming.

12. Reuben.13. Fleming.

7. Charles Jordan, II (Jurden), Captain in the Revolutionary War; born ca. 1728; died at theSiege of Augusta, GA, in 1780; in 1749 was a resident of Perquimans Co., NC; married firstMary Unknown and second, Martha Unknown . Children numbered five as shown in thesettlement of his estate by his son Dempsey Jordan: + 14. Samuel; born Aug. 18, 1749, according to pension application. + 15. Dempsey. + 16. Charles. + 17. James + 18. Peninnah “Perainy”; married James Stanley (1785-1890).
