Rev. J. T. Jordan.

	No minister in Gwinnett county is held in greater esteem than the Rev. 
J. T. Jordan, of Lilburn. He has given his life to the people among whom he 
was born and reared.

	He was born in this county in 1840, was educated in its common schools 
and received a hope in Jesus Christ in 1858 when 18 years of age. He united 
with the church at Camp Creek in 1860, was ordained to the great work of the 
ministry in 1866, and was elected pastor of four churches during the same 
year. He has the extraordinary record of serving two of these churches from 
the year of his ordination in 1866 to the present time.

	To state it again, he has been pastor of two churches continuously 
from 1866 to date, a period of 44 years. During his entire ministry, he has 
served eight churches as pastor and of these eight churches, he has served 
four at a time continuously from 1866 to the present.

	Perhaps no preacher in Georgia or the South has served so long and so 
well the people among whom he lived and labored.
