D. W. Ragsdale and wife to Allen Carr

Priscilla Carr Jordan was evidently born about 1812 in that she is listed as being 
38 in 1850 and 59 in 1870.  At the time I do not know when she died.  Her husband 
William Jordan died in June 1864 according to a record of a case in Clay County 
Final Record Book #2, pp. 1-20.  He was evidently born ca. 1815 in that he is listed 
as being 35 in the 1850 census.

Children of Priscilla and William Jordan as listed in the 1850 census are:

Elizabeth            11F
Charles C.            9M
Priscilla             7F
Sydney                4F

Elizabeth married (1) Charles Y. Westbrook on November 27, 1858 (he died 1861)
(2) Titus Carr Exum on August 26, 1865 she died on January 16,1897.  According to 
her headstone she was aged 55 years, indicating that she was born ca. 1841 in contrast 
to the 1850 census which has her born ca. 1839.

Charles C. was apparently dead by 1878 in that he is not listed as an heir of 
William Jordan in the 1878 suit cited above.

Priscilla married John T. Kerr.

Sydney married on October 10, 1864 to John E. Jordan, who was the son of her 
father's brother (Charles R. Jordan, 1818-1876).
