*Jodie's D.Cert. 23750 gives b. 10 Aug 1874 {stone: "1875 - 1963"}, and also 
   gives ma as Martha Beale. 

Widower Jordan Johnson, sn/o Stephen & Patsey, m. 1864 
   Martha Turner (IoW.Co. #14).  He 1m. 1838 Elizabeth Turner. 

Jodie's bro Enos Luther's D.Cert. (1946-22413) gives his parents as 
   Jordan & Jemima - a Jordan Johnson did m. a Jemima Johnson - in 1819! 
   (FamilySearch.org "Virginia Marriages") 

As the Nansemond Co. records were lost to fire in 1866, there well could be 
   another union not found. 
   I have not found the family in the 1880 Census - the children given for the 
   Jordan & Martha found in 1880 do not align with 1870 data. (mh)
