I thank you for your reponse to my query.My John Jordan
family lived in Barnwell Co., S. C.. He wa born ca l784, S. C. and married Mary Eliza Pelham, dau of Ambrose Pelham,Sr
of Orangeburg Co., S. C.Since Barnwell County is not too
far from the location of your Gourdin line, I was hoping
to make a connection.
Would any member of your male Jordan line be interested in
doing DNA testing?Info can be obtained at www.familytreedna.com.I am awaiting mtdna results of my
Jordan line now and hope to share results in near future.
Two distinct lines of Jordans lived in Barnwell Co.One
was the Samuel Jordan of Virginia line and one the Arthur
Jordan of Virginia line.There is no known relationship
to the other.Family tradition suggests our line is of
the Samuel Jordan line;however, I have this line and cannot
make a connection, as well as the Arthur Jordan line.
It is highly possible neither line is my line.This is why
I have opted to do dna.DNA will place me in the correct
Jordan line, eventhough, records may never be available to
prove such descent.Mtdna is testing through maternal line.
