Generation No. 1

 

        1.  Thomas⁷ Jordan  (Joseph⁶, Jacob⁵, Charles Jordan⁴ (I), John Jordan³ (II), John Jordan² (I), Richard¹ Jordan)^1,2,3 was born Abt. 1793 in NC.⁴, and died Nov 1846 in Edenton, Clermont Co., OH.⁵.  He married Elizabeth Ford^6,7,8,9 12 Jun 1820 in Chowan County, NC.¹⁰, daughter of William Ford and unknown.  She was born Abt. 1797 in NC., and died Abt. 1853 in Edenton, Clermont Co.,OH..

 

Notes for Thomas Jordan:

In 1850 census Elizabeth and family live next to William Dail and his wife Mary (Jordan), probable niece of Thomas Jordan Sr. (See Joseph Jordan/Darkis Ford family ). Willam Dail also came from the Dails of Chowan Co., NC.  His wife Mary is the believed daughter of Joseph Jordan, possible brother of Thomas.

 

There is a Maria Jordon (age 22) living a few pages away in 1850 Clermont County, Wayne Twp, Ohio.  She is living with farmer Joseph Sly.  She has a child with her named Elizabeth R. Jordon.  This appears to be Maria Sly who married Miles Jordan (son of Joseph and Darkis Ford).

 

There is an obvious relationship between our Thomas Jordan and the families of Silas V. Jordan (founder of Edenton, OH.), as well as Harrison Jordan and his brother Joseph, also in Clermont County.  It is unsure what the connection is but it appears that Harrison and Joseph were the nephews of Thomas, being children of Thomas' brother Joseph (II) (not proven) or even possibly brothers (with possibly different mothers).  It seems that our Thomas and Silas were 1st cousins, with Silas' dad Jacob (proven) being Thomas' uncle. 

 

I do not believe our Thomas Jordan is in the 1830 Census for NC.  He might have been "on the road" at that point.

 

As recorded by a Boyscout many years ago, burial plot is Row 5, Stone 16.  There is nothing recorded for stone 17 but the son Thomas (Jr.) and his wife are buried at Stone 18.   HOWEVER, In Dec. of 2004 I visited the graves of my great-great-great grandfather Thomas and his son Thomas and this appears incorrect.  The son Thomas is in a plot with his wife and is clearly marked.  On each side of this plot are markers.  One says Father and one says Mother.  I can assume these are the parents of Thomas because near the "Father" marker was a concrete block which had the initials T.J. on it for Thomas Jordan.  So actually if Thomas Jordan (Jr.) is at stone 18 then his mother is stone 17 and his father is at stone 19.  At stone 16 was a marker for an infant daughter of Thomas Jordan Jr.  It was hard to read, which might have led to the Boyscout's error. 

 

Shown as having 10 children in 1840 census.

 

Near Edenton, OH. there is a Jordan Road named after our Jordans who lived in the area.  Garrison Spurling Rd. turns into Jordan Rd. around when it crosses over Locust Creek.  Goes to Warren Co. line just west of Woodville.

Notes for Henry Jordan:

Henry and brother Joseph were married by the same Justice of the Peace.

 

Kem Luther says:

 

"In the 1850 census I found a Henry and Hanna Jordan from North Carolina, ages 28 and 22, with children Mary E. (b. circa 1847) and Howard (b. circa 1849), living next to a David and Mary Bivans and six children.  David Bivans may be related to the Joseph A. Bivans who married Elisha's oldest daughter.  The Bivans came from Wales about 1840. The Bivans connection makes me think that this Henry Jordan must be related to Elisha.  He may be an older brother. The Bivans and Jordans in the 1850 census were in Perry Township. They may have been living about mile southwest of Chasetown, in the same area that an 1870s plat map places Elisha Jordan and S. J. Bivans, the father-in-law of Elisha's daughter.

Living on Eastern avenue in 1880.  Oddly no house number is giving for the clan of children living together.  Not sure what that means, if they were living with their parents and the census was taken oddly or what.  The family number is given as 210 and the parents are given a different family number of 232?

Leslie worked as a Hired Hand for Alvah A.

There has always been some family speculation that Leslie was murdered (and possibly with the encouragment of his wife).    We know he died in Missouri.  This requires a lot more investigating though.
