Looking for Warren Jordan in 1850

The fact that an older Warren Jourdan obit appeared in the Columbus GA (Muscogee Co) newspaper in 1844 interests me since my Warren Jourdan married in Russell Co AL (across the river from Columbus GA) 4 years later in 1848 to Winny Wright, after maybe having been in Tenn.. I say that because he says he is from TN in 1850 but all later references to birth say GA. I am speculating his relatives knew he came out of TN from the death/funeral of his possible relative Warren Jordan from GA and simply said "he came out of TN." Just speculation. Warren married Winney Wright and here is a reference to a Wright and a Jordan in the newspaper in Columbus, across from Russel Co AL:

Burials and Deaths in Columbus Enquier  by B.W. WRIGHT: "JOURDAN, Col. Warren(57) formerly of GA; obituary, on p. 77 of "Marriages and Obituaries from Various GA Newspapers" by Huxford, appeared 27 Feb 1844, "died on Dec. 13th last, at his temporary residence of McMinn Co., TN." This older Warren Jourdan was born about 1787 and was in the GA state legislature and was married 2 or 3 times. He was the orphan of Benjamin Jourdan and raised by an uncle Josiah Jordan in GA.

As you know the residents of Russell County AL (and sometimes Chambers Co AL) used the services of Columbus, GA getting their mail there, marrying there and doing business. My children are descended from Warren Jordan born between 1811-1823 in GA. He married Winny Wright 3 Nov 1849 Russell, Alabama Performed by Name: H M Crowder. I have a hunch that the older Warren Jourdan who died in 1844 was a relative.

GA and 3rd wife Mary J. Thornton on 25 DEC 1834 in Hall Co. Ga. At the time he made a will in Jones Co GA in 1837 he was going off to fight somewhere, but not all his children by Mary were born.

email- about 2nd wife of Warren Jourdan

Hi!  It was good to get your post-em.  I descend from Warren Jourdan's 2nd
wife Juliet Anna Daniell.  I have printed Warren's will below.  I am
thinking the Warren who married Winny was a different Warren Jourdan.  I do
have in notes Warren's siblings:
The children of Warren JORDAN and Juliet Anna DANIELL were:
i. Catherine Lucretia JORDAN (1825-1862/1863) married Dr. Nathaniel
Charles ALSTON, MD (1820-1890) of Abbeville District, SC. They ended up in
Richland, Stewart County, GA.
ii. Juliet Josephine JORDAN (1827-1831)
iii. Sarah Geraldine JORDAN (1829-1879) died in Americus, Sumter County, GA {edit- she married Oliver P. Mathis 1854 in Cherokee Co}
iv. Madelaine Virginia JORDAN (1831 or later)

Warren's siblings:
i. Mary JORDAN - (before 1780-1829) married Theophilus HILL (must be
related to the HILL family of Edgefield, SC)
ii. James JORDAN - (1782-1829) married Mary "Polly" BLAKE (could be
related to the BLAKE family of Charleston) 
iii. Elizabeth JORDAN- (1786-)
iv. Warren JORDAN-- (1787 GA-Dec. 13, 1843 McMinn TN)

This will of Warren JOURDAN was written in 1837 and never filed. (Tuck
Wilson found it in the bottom of a will drawer, along with a letter to his
executor explaining he expected to be "called to the field" in what would
likely be a fatal encounter {Edit- could be the War in Texas- http://www.hsgng.org/pages/texas.htm}, in Jones County and has thoughtfully shared his
find.): 
Georgia
Jones County
In the name of God amen I Warren Jourdan of the county and state aforesaid

Burials and Deaths in Columbus Enquier" by B.W. WRIGHT: "JOURDAN, Col.
Warren(57) formerly of GA; obituary, on p. 77 of "Marriages and Obituaries

Warren Jordan's father benjamin and mother Elizabeth Harvie:
Supposedly he was killed by Indians in Jackson Co. between 12
Sept.1787 when he witnessed the sale of some land in wilkes Co. and
Dec 1787 when he is referred to as deceased in his father's will,, but
I have no proof this being how he died..

According to Bob Jordan (jorbob@webtv.net) Benjamin's estate was
administered by his brother Josiah Jordan in 1789 in Wilkes Co. GA. In
the minutes of the inferior court, Wilkes Co., GA , the sons and
daughters of Benjamin Jourdon asked that their uncle, Josiah Jordon,
be appointed their guardian. It was granted 26 Sept. 1791. Josiah
Jordon is named guardian to the heirs of Benjamin Jourdon, 24
Feb.1801.

According to Suzanne Ammons, a researcher in Wilkes Co., there are
several pages of estate and will papers listed in Will book "DD" of
Wilkes Co., but that it was destroyed by fire in a lawyer's officewho
had borrowed it. Information was listed as being of pages1,22, 150,
151, and 190. A Charles Jordin also was listed in this index of the
years, 1779-1792.

Information about Benjamin is in "Early Records of Ga, Vol. II, p.
344, where there is a long list of estate papers ....who was paid and
so forth.

The only Jourdan/Jordon listed in Wilkes Co. burials of Revolutionary
soldiers was Reuben, of the Va militia.

According the information from Brertuck@aol.com, he was b. 1754, d.
1786 in Jackson Co. GA fighting Indians in Jackson Co.

Early records in Wilkes Co. GA have information about estate of their father Benjamin Jourdan, Josiah Jourdan's guardianship of the children, board and singing lessons paid for Warren in 1802 and1803, and receipts to James Jourdan from his father's and grandfather's estate.

Benjamin bought property in 1786 on Long Creek in Wilkes Co, GA and presumably moves there. " Early Records of GA Vol 1, p.243" by Davidson. He was granted 1000 acres of land in Washington Co. for
revolutionary services. "Index to Headrights, Bounty Lands, GA 1756-1909, Grant Book LLL,p. 475

Thank you for contacting me. Unfortunately I cannot help you at this time.

But, see the following-

My 4th Great Grandfather was Absalom Adams and he married Elizabeth ?

My Elizabeth would probably not be alive in 1850.

I did hire a man to look up some documents for me in Chambers County last year.

I was trying to find out more information on my 4th great grandmother.

He did find some estate records of a Elizabeth Adams. We determined these records was not about my Elizabeth because if I remember correctly her deceased husband was listed and it was not my Absalom.

This may be your Elizabeth.

If I can find his address I will send it to you.

Maybe he can help you.

I wish you luck and I hope this helps.

Hi Curt
I dont even know if  Elizabeth Adams 50 (SC) is related to me. She is living next door to Warren Jourdan and John Wright, Winny's brother.  

Being an Adams, this probably won't bore you. I have tried over and over again to figure things out thru census data. Thanks so much for informing me about estate papers.   I am suspecting that Samuel C. Adams may be a brother in law of hers. 

I would like to know the connections of the Floyds to the Adams and if there is one to the Wrights. Winny Wright married Warren Jordan 3 Nov 1849 Russell , Alabama.  Elizabeth Adams had at least 2 daughters. Mary Adams married Michael Whitman 16 SEP 1847 in Muscogee GA across the river from Russell Co AL and Frances Adams married Amos Parker 1847 in Russell.

Was Elizabeth Adams married formerly to a Wright?  John Floyd came from Newberry, SC where most Wrights were Quakers. Although most Wrights fled to Quaker country in the north (Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois) between 1810 and 1820 because of the predjudice against their anti-slavers stance, some fled southward into GA and on to AL and Texas. Wright, Captain John
