[coosa1.ged]
6/26/99 entered note from Penny Jordan research:
"Aunt Georgia" (Turner's daughter) was very close to my grandmother and
my grandmother used to tell me how Georgia came to Texas in a covered
wagon and what a hardship it was for her as a widow with 8 kids. Georgia
remarried a man named Mac Ellis once she settled in Navarro County close
to her two brothers, Shorter Eli "Jenks" and Elmore Yancey Jordan (my
great grandfather).
Georgia Ann Jordan was the first child of Turner Jordan and Susan
Stough. She married her first cousin, William Ashley Lewis (The FRG has
it as Ashmore, but I don't think it was Ashmore because they had a son
and they named him William Ashley Lewis).
Lewis was the son of Turner's sister, Lucinda S. Jordan and her husband
Eldred S. Lewis. Georgia and William Lewis had 8 children before Lewis
died.
After his death, Georgia Ann then went to Navarro County, Texas which is
where her two brothers, the only other children of Turner and Susan were
living (Shorter Eli Jordan and Elmore Yancey Jordan). She remarried M.
G. "Mac" Ellis and had a daughter, Dollie Ellis in June of 1897.
