Mrs. Perry in
her book "These Jordans were Here" p. 81 states...
"At the same time her two sons, John and Solomon Jordan,
were spoken of as Orphans by her friends and neighbors, when
they applied for Jane to be made administrator of her husband
John Jordan's estate, who died intestate." Also Robert
A. Jordan in his book "Jordan Journal" on p. A-10
makes this same assertion; however, it is believed that he
based this on Mrs. Perry's book. Since the deed abstract
does not say this we need a source proving this statement.
Positive proof of John II as his son is available but not
for Solomon-- the only proof is in his association and tranactions
which speak of family relationship.

" These
Jordans Were Here" by Octavia Jordan Perry, 1969
p. 83: "In JOHN JORDAN'S Will recorded in Hyde Precinct,
he states that he had previously deeded to his son CHARLES
land bought of Charles Sowell in Chowan Precinct; deeded to
EDWARD 100 acres of land in the precinct of Chowan Sound;
and deeded to JOHN the aforesaid 130 acres of land on Old
Town Creek, Chowan Precinct. In this deed he also bequeaths
to his grandsons, CHARLES JORDAN and EDWARD GARRELL."
[We have been
unable to find this will. We have found the deeds to his
sons CHARLES, JOHN AND EDWARD and they are listed above.
We know of several of his grandsons named CHARLES but not
EDWARD GARRELL that Mrs Perry referring to. The many transactions
above are strong evidence that CHARLES, JOHN AND EDWARD are
his sons but if that deed existed it would be a positive confirmation.
It is believed that Mrs. Perry "assumed" this Will
since she knew of the land transactions and of a Will in Hyde
for a JOHN JORDAN. However that Will in Hyde Precinct in
Bath Co., probated 31 Dec. 1719, letter granted 23 April 1720,
named his his daughters Margaret Foreman and Mary Jordan and
under age son JOHN JORDAN. He provided for John White to
be guardian and trustee for JOHN until age 21 or recovers
his perfect eyesight. It is obvious that this is not the
JOHN JORDAN(II) in Bertie Co.

[After the death of John Jordan I (THE SON OF RICHARD JORDAN
I) it has been stated that he had two sons, JOHN and SOLOMON.
We must determine his son JOHN JORDAN II from among the several
JOHN JORDANS in Isle of Wight and Chowan Co., NC. The key
document in doing this is the 1704 deed below that clearly
places John JORDAN II of Isle of Wight in 1704 and clearly
identifies him as grandson of Richard JORDAN,SR[ I ] and son
of John JORDAN I by his possession of land his father John
JORDAN I received from Richard JORDAN I. It also identifies

Mrs. Perry in
her book "These Jordans were Here" p. 81 states...
"At the same time her two sons, John and Solomon Jordan,
were spoken of as Orphans by her friends and neighbors, when
they applied for Jane to be made administrator of her husband
John Jordan's estate, who died intestate." Also Robert
A. Jordan in his book "Jordan Journal" on p. A-10
makes this same assertion; however, it is believed that he
based this on Mrs. Perry's book. Since the deed abstract
does not say this we need a source proving this statement.
Positive proof of John II as his son is available but not
for Solomon-- the only proof is in his association and tranactions
which speak of family relationship.
Since Solomon's
wife Katherine SNELL was born in Berkley which became Chowan
Co. it is likely that he was in Chowan when they married.
With her being born 1689 their marrage likely was about 1705-1710

married Hannah Unknown in VA. She was born Unknown
in VA?, and died Aft. 1781 in Probably NC.
Notes for Joseph
JORDAN:
FROM THE
AUTHORS: Joseph Jordan was born in Surry Co, VA although
we are not certain when he was born. He lived his entire
life in Surry Co, VA and died there in 1770. In his Will
below he names son Stephen (of legal age) and his two youngest
children Richard and William(not of age). He also states
" ALL MY CHILDREN" plainly acknowledging that he
has older children not named in this Will. It appears he
was probably married at least twice. Joseph's brother William
Jordan died and left Will in 1758 naming two older sons of
Joseph's, Henry and Jesse Jordan. These five sons are
all that we can prove at this time. Hopefully we will be
able to document daughters as well as other sons of Joseph
in future research.

Notes for Stephen JORDAN:
NOTE from the authors: This line has not been completely
traced.
Stephen Jordan is listed
as son of Joseph in his will 1771. We do not know what happened
to Stephen Jordan. During the American Revolution he was
still residing in Surry Co, VA and supported America's Independence.
He is not residing in Surry Co, VA in 1787. Please contact
us if you might descend from Stephen Jordan.
Stephen is also documented
as a son of Joseph in his Uncle William Jordan's Will of 1758
[See William Jordan Will] to cousin [nephew]: STEPHEN Jordan

2 cows, 2 chest, my gun and also one deep dish. It says to

To cousin[nephew]: Jesse Jordan son of Joseph I give my
pistols and holsters, 1 iron pott, 1 feather bed and furniture,
2 cattle. He possibly could be the same Jesse residing
in Sussex Co, VA around 1770.

in St. Paul Parish
In Georgia. 1755-1711 p. 101. The original survey is found
in Plat Book C, p. 87; the grant is found in Grant Book I,
p. 184) [This would seem to indicate that Charles Jordan
was in Georgia by 1766. Fortson & Bryant, Entry Of Claims
for Georgia Landholders. 1733-1755 pp. 120,203, proves that
one Charles Jordan owned 50 acres of land in Augusta as early
as 1757. On 22 July, 1757, Charles Jorden witnessed a deed
at Augusta. (Walker, Abstracts of Georgia Colonial Book J.
1755~2. p. 86.) [We believe that the 1757 Charles Jordan

the Kyoka and Broad River Settlements. [We failed to note
the source of the book, but believe it was: R. S. Davis,
ed., Georgia Citizens and soIdiers of the American Revolution.
p. 18. A letter, dated 1 June, 1812, published in the same
source, p. 170, describes the death of Capt. Charles Jordan
at the Seige of Augusta.]
16 Jan., 1775, Charles Jordan of St. Paul Parish sold the
above 400 acres of land to Robert Kae, Jarnor Kae, John Kae,
Samuel Elbert and Thomas Graham. (CRG, Conveyances, Book DD,

These two Wills show that William White was married to Margaret
had a daughter Elizabeth that married a Jordan and she was
an heir to his estate. Also Elizabeth Jordan had children
Robert, William and Margaret but Elizabeth's son Charles was
not mentioned in her mother Margaret's Will. The Will of
Elizabeth's father-in-law Charles Jordan's Will probated in
1773 named her son Charles as an heir but not any of the other
3 children. This could be because in 1771 when Charles' Will
was written in 1771 only Charles had been born or it could
be that Charles only included the two grandchilden that were
named Charles for him. Margaret may have omitted Charles
from the grandchildren sharing her estate since he had already
inherited from his grandfather Charles. If we knew the grandchildren
ages this might be clearer.

JORDAN (Joseph5, Richard4, Richard3,

1762 in Surry Co, VA, and died 18 Sep 1848 in Randolph Co,
AL. He married Delilah ca 1782 in Probably NC. She
was born 1760 in NC or SC, and died 12 Oct 1854 in Randolph
Co, AL.
Notes for William JORDAN:
Thanks to cousin Maudine Brazier she found our ancestor
William Jordan pension who was born in Surry Co, VA. He was
eight years old when his father Joseph Jordan died. After
Joseph's death [See Will of Joseph Jordan]
his mother sold the last acreage of land in December 1772
to Francis Sowersby and removed to NC. We know William had
an older brother living in Pitt or Edgecombe Co, NC during
the American Revolution. This brother paid for William a
substitute named GEORGE HARRIS for a few months of the American
Revolution.
It appears
one Richard Jordan of Pitt Co, NC born 1759 Surry Co, VA who
served in the American Revolution with Capt. John Batts, listed
his mother's house as burning and his brother-in-law as BURRELL
EDWARDS could be one of the brothers of William Jordan. He
also lived in Anson Co, NC. There in 1810 we find Burwell
Edwards. This Richard applied for a Rev. War pension from
Pitt Co, NC. (See the Richard Jordan
b 1759 file)
Our William named a son Burrell and his last son Christopher
Edward Jordan.
Although
four children are named in William's pension applications
there are two sons and four daughters that are unknown to
us at this present time. It appears more children were living
in 1856 when Christopher, Elizabeth, Burrell and Samuel Nunis(for
Sarah his wife) paid an attorney to represent them in Washington
D.C. Between 1790 and 1800 William is the only male Jordan
listed in the Federal census of Edgefield Co, SC William
died in Randolph Co, AL which is a totally burned county.
We are
searching for six missing children of William and Delilah
Jordan and any of their descendants.

Nov 4th 1841 Sir The declaration of William Jordan

To
sustain a claim under the present circumstances it will be
necessary that it be supported by the most satisfactory proof.

Your
letter of 5th June has been received & I have to state
that a letter was addressed to you under date of the 12th
Just, giving you all the information you desire. There is
not sufficient length of service shown to have been rendered
by William Jordan to entitle him to a pension.

June 12, 1860 Madam,
In
reply to your last letter of the 20th examined. I have respectfully
to inform you that your father William Jordan applied for
pension in 1835, but his claim was rejected for the reason
that he did not serve as much as 6 months in the Revolutionary

pensions are allowed by law.

Notes for Joseph
Frances Marion "Munch" KEY:
Article from descendant John W. Key.
Joseph
Francis Marion Key was a Mason, member of Heaton Lodge, Randolph
Co, AL. He was 31 years old when he volunteered to serve
in the Confederate Army. He enlisted as a Private inCo. G,
47th AL Infantry Regiment, C.S.A. on May 11th, 1862. He served
until April 1865. He was wounded at Spotsylvania, Virginia
during the War.
According
to files at the AL Penson Commission, who wrote to the War
Department in Washington to verify his service, they received
the reply that he was a member of Co. G, 47th AL Infantry
Regt, C.S.A. but had been "absent without leave"
since February 1865. However, he produced affidavits to show
he had been granted a 30 day furlough to go home and that
in returning he had been cut off from his command. Members
of the Key family believe his first wife was seriously ill
and died April 8, 1865.
During
the Civil War, Joseph Francis Marion "Munch" Key
served as a blacksmith and cobbler. He repaired guns and other
mechanical equipment. He made and repaired leather items
for horses and shoes for the soldiers. Members of his family
said that once during the war he shod General Robert E. Lee's
horse old Traveler, during the war.

Joseph
'Munch' Key removed to Lawrence Co, AL around 1890 or 1891
where he purchased a farm what is now in the William B. Bankhead
National Forest. The National Forest Services identifies
his farm on the map as "Key Mill Branch".
According
to my father, James Clyde "Cisero" Key, he was injured
while working on the water wheel which powered his gristmill.
He said that he fell and broke some bones in his leg. The
accident occurred in March of 1918 and he died on April 18,
1918 in Lawrence Co, AL. He is buried in Shiloh Cemetery
located on National Forest Road 249 in Lawrence Co, AL.
He was
31 years older than his 3rd wife Mary Jane Tyree. She was
a Cherokee Indian. Little is known about her parents. In
a document she stated that her father was last known to have
lived in Little Rock, Arkansas and his name was Hiram Tyree.
Her mother Mary A. Tyree came to visit her in 1909 and the
1910 Lawrence Co, AL census gave her as the mother in law
of Joseph Key. According to family members there were some
family problems and she left and was never heard of again.
Notes for Mary
Elizabeth TANEY:
Many members of the Key family believe she died April 8, 1865
and was buried in Key grave yard located in Randolph Co, AL
with unmarked grave. Husband Joseph Key came home to visit
her during the Civil War and she died after he returned to
the battle fields.
Notes for Lucinda
"Lucy" Belle WHITE:
Lucy is buried with one of Joseph Key and her child, Thomas
J. Key who died 25 Jan 1879.
Notes for Mary
Jane TYREE:
I have very little information about her and her life. She
lived in our home in the early 1950's. I remember that one
time she was setting on the front porch which was approximately
24 inches above the ground. It was a cool day and the sun
was shining and she was moving her rocking chair around until
she fell off of the porch. My brother Leon and I helped get
her up. She said, " well I just got to close and fell
off. " She was not hurt. At that time she was 90 years
old.
She was born
in Heard County, GA and her father was Hiram Tyree. She stated
he died in Little Rock, Arkansas. According to family members
she was a Cherokee Indian. Her mother came to visit her about
1910. According to what my father told my brother Leon they
had a disagreement and she left and was never heard of again.
She drew a Confederate
Widows pension check for the rest of her life. She died
Aug 28, 1962 at 101 years, seven months and seven days old.
She was buried in Aldridge Grove Cemetery beside her deaf
and dumb son Benny Frank Key. At the time of her death shew
as living with her youngest son John Floyd "Jack"
Key and his wife Lucille in the Oakville community in Lawrence
Co, AL.
After her husband
Joseph died on April 18, 1918, she lost 300 acres of land
due to a $1600.00 mortgage on the land.

The 59th
AL Infantry Regiment CSA was formed by the consolidatio of
the Second and Fourth Battalions of Hilliard's Legion. The
Legion was organized at Montgomery on 25 June 1862 and consisted
of five Battalions one of which was mounted and being detached
in a short time thereafter became apart of the Tenth Confederate
Regiment. The Second Battalion, six companies was commanded
by Lt. Col. Bolling Hall of Autauga and Major W. Stubblefield
of Coosa; the Fourth Battalion was commanded by Major John
D. McLennah of Barbour. The Legion proceeded to East TN,
nearly 3,000 strong under its commander Col. Hilliard of Montgomery.
Proceeding to Cumberland Gap it was part of the force that
besieged that position. In October the Legion was a part
of the force that occupied KY a fatiguing march. It passed
the winter and summer following in East TN, during which time
Col. Jack Thorington of Montgomery (First Battalion) succeeded
Col. Hillards and in april 1863 it was attached to General
Gracie's Brigade. The Legion was in the Battle of Chickamauga
where it lost more than half its number; the flag of the Second
Battalion for example had 81 bullet holes. Moving into East
TN Col. Thorington having resigned, the Legion was divided
into the 59th and 60th AL Regiments and 23rd Battalion at
Charleston 25 Nov 1863. The 59th was in the investment of
Knoxville and the fights at Dandridge and Bean's Station,
with some casualties especially at the latter. In April
1864 the regiment reached Richmond and shortly after took
part in the battle of Drewry's Bluff and the fight with Sheridan.
From June until the March following, the 59th was in the trenches
of Petersburg or in the numerous conflicts on the flank and
rear of the army, losing a number at Hatcher's Run and White
Oaks Road.
As part of Gordon's
Corps, Bushrod Johnston's Division, the Regiment was engaged
at Appomattox and there surrendered.

From interview of Fannie Baker McClellen by Janet Baker Burks:
My great Aunt Fannie Baker McClellen told me the following
story in an interview after I had found Dennis R. Jordan on
the 1890 Veterans census of Texas showing he was in the Union
Army from a Maine Regt.
" My
grandfather Dennis Rivers Jordan lived at Lone Oak in Hunt
County and is buried in the Lone Oak Cemetery. When Mama
was still living we went to the cemetery to see her Daddy's
grave. Yes, my Grandfather (Dennis) fought for the wrong
side and how did you find out? My Mama said her Daddy had
fought for the Confederacy and was wounded in some battle
and sent home. His mother(Mary Ann Knowls Jordan) told him
that he couldn't go back and fight because he was her youngest
son and she wasn't going to let him. (His father and brothers
were still in the war.)
He was going
to medical school in South America to get away from the war.
They knew people that had gone there and Dennis could go to
school. So Grandfather left and had to get to the Mississippi
River so he could catch a ship to South America. I remember
Mama telling me her Daddy was on the ship down the Mississippi
River and the Yankees took the ship and told him he was going
to fight for them or he would be shot or put in prison. So
he was made to fight for the Yankees. Mama never talked about
it much because we didn't want people to know. After the
War my Grandfather went back and visited with his Grandfather
(Knowles) and met and married my Grandmother Sarah Frances
Burns who died when Mama was a little girl. "
From the National
Archives, Washington, D.C.:
Dennis Rivers
Jordan, "Volunteer" enlisted in the Co. "F"
15th Maine Regt. on March 1, 1864 from Morganzia, LA (which
is on the Mississippi River) by a Capt. Laurens J. Joyce.
On the enlistment form it states he was 2l yrs old (he was
19), a laborer, and was born in Brunswick, Maine (he was born
in Chambers Co,AL) He was mustered in for the town of Brunswick,
Maine for three years. He was sick in Nov and Dec of 1865
in the DeCamp General Hospital New York Harbor where he got
clothing and had to prove he had drawn it in order to be paid
his pay. In March and April 1865 muster roll he is listed
as a Corpl. After the War was over on the May and June
1865 roll he was reduced to ranks as a private by order of
Col. Dyer (no reason why the reduction). He was discharged
on the 6th of Dec 1865 in New York City, NY by an order of
the War Dept but has a Company muster-out roll dated July
5, 1866 from Charleston, SC.
It was told by
cousin Juanita Miller that Dennis killed a man while living
in AL during a dual for insulting his wife Sarah Frances and
then moved to Texas. [He actually moved to DeKalb/Jackson
Co, AL where according to my great aunt he had relatives then
he made the move to Texas.]

In May 1891 Dennis
applied for a US Pension #779191 he states "I received
a gun shot wound in the left thigh in Georgetown, SC in the
year 1865 during the month of Sept or Oct from the accidental
discharge of a soldiers gun while cleaning it, [when he came
off duty] after coming off guard duty. I was sent to a hospital
somewhere on the coast in Georgia from there to David's Island
Hospital in the State of NY from which I was discharged from
the effects of said wound on the 6th day of Dec AD 1865"

One wonders if
he was accidentally shot. Imagine it was not pleasant for
the southern men that were captured on that ship and forced
to fight with men from Maine during the last of the war.

1947. During this time they farmed 12 to 15 ac of Cotton
and 10 to 12 acres of corn.
They had several
types of farm animals, cows, hogs,chickens, horses and mules.
I remember as
a child visiting uncles and aunts that lived several miles
away. We would ride a wagon pulled by a pair of mules. As
children we grew up working in the fields chopping cotton,
hoeing corn and working in the family garden. After school
chores were feeding, milking, bringing in wood for heat and
cooking.
In 1962
J.C. Key retired from farming. He drew a small social security
check. On order to supplement his income he sold apples
in the fall of the year. He had regular routes that he traveled.
The profits provided him the means to pay property taxes and
winter utility bills.
In 1973
his wife Vera became seriously ill and was admitted to Summerford
Nursing Home in Falkville, Morgan Co, AL. During the last
few day of Mar 1974 he amde preparations to go to the Nursing
home and stay with Mama. On April 1, 1974 he checked in the
nursing home. Mama died Sept 6, 1975. Daddy continue living
in the Nursing home until he eloped on July 20, 1977.
He married
Maudie Yates Minor. Maudie had a home in Hartsell dn they
resided there until Daddy's death May 16, 1992. Maudie was
a very loving and kind to Daddy. She looked after him and
always supported and loved him.

24 Sep 1971 in Conway, Faulkner Co,AR. She married Franklin
Floyd WOMACK 1900 in Cleburne Co. AR, son of William WOMACK
and Harriet SMITH. He was born 13 Jan 1879 in Independence
Co. AR, and died 23 Nov 1935 in Cleburne Co, AR.
Notes for Franklin
Floyd WOMACK: From Farris Womack a descendant:
Jan 25 1912,
Frank F. Womack acquired through Hd Act 1862, 160 ac, described
as Sec 10 T 12N, R8W, S 1/2,SE 1/4,NW 1/4, SE 1/4; NE 1/4
SW 1/4 rcpt #08281 Farris believes correct date of birth
is 1879.
Dora and
Buck Green were md the last of Dec 1878 and I think they came
to AR with William Womack's. Franklin was born in AR according
to the Family Bible. Sometimes he listed his name as Frank
and other times as Floyd. Not sure which was first and which
is the middle name. Frank was killed in a truck accient
in 1935. His death left Oma with four children at home and
little or not means to support them. Clete Andrew and Dell
cut stave bolts during the winter of 1935 to help feed the
family.

Marriage Notes
for Naomi JORDAN and Franklin WOMACK:
On the 1900 census, Greenbrier twp, Independence Co, AR he
