Notes for GEORGE LAW JORDAN:
According to Patsy Martin, (Daughter).They lived just outside of Greenville, Texas and in 1916 moved into the town of Greenville, Texas.
Pearl and Edith also lived in Greensville.Patsy can remember hearing them all say that her Father George Newton Jordan was in Corpus Christi, Texas, and may have remarried to a woman named Heidi.

She can also remember the adults saying Grandmother Julia was related by distant relatives to Sir Issac Newton.

All are buried in Bethel Cemetery at Greenville, Hunt County, Texas.

Generation No. 2

2.GEORGE NEWTON2 JORDAN (GEORGE LAW1) was born August 21, 1887 in Near Greenville in Farmersville, Texas.He married (1) . DELLA E. (O DELL) SIMS 1907 in Texas, daughter of GANT SIMS and NANCY EQUILLA HERRING.She was
born May 22, 1888 in NavarroCounty, Texas, and died April 26, 1952 in Livedin Weott, Buried in Scotia, Humbolt County, California.
He married (2) MYRTLE LONG.

Here is what I have on the NEWTON Line;

My request is for the family of ROBERT M. NEWTON who married ELIZABETH J. MEADORS.Robert was born in 1830, Georgia.

My Great Grandmother, his daughter, was JULIA C. NEWTON, who married GEORGE L. JORDAN Julia was born 1864 in Whiteburg, Georgia. I think her sister was LULA NEWTON, but I can't prove that yet.

I need all information on ROBERT and his family.

Robert's father was THOMAS E. NEWTON, His parents were HENRY NEWTON who married NANCY GLASS. Henry's parents were JOHN NEWTON AND MARY MITCHELL, John's father I think was a
HENRY NEWTON, born about 1728. I have no farther back than that.
So the family of 1728 and back would be helpful also.

Can anyone help me find out more about this Jordan/Newton family?
Thank you for your time,
