Research Notes
- Needs Relationship Review: Jordan-246 and Jordan-15607 need to be reviewed for conflation and relationships. Content has been copied and pasted between several profiles without clear intent. Spratlin-29 18:17, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Conflated
These Charles Jordans are often conflated:
- Charles Jordan (abt.1707-bef.1773), father of Charles Jordan Jr (1725-1780)
- Charles Jordan Jr (1725-1780), son of Charles Jordan (abt.1707-bef.1773), duplicated
- Charles Jordan (1725-1780)
Charles Jordan Jr (1725-1780) and Charles Jordan (1725-1780) both list the same death date, apparently during The Siege of Augusta, aka First Siege of Augusta, also McKay’s Trading Post, Relief of Augusta.
Vital Statistics
Death
- Death Date may or may not be correct as a 18 Sep 1780 death at the Battle of Augusta is assigned to two different men of this era named Charles Jordan. They, however, have different fathers and YDNA descendants.

Notes From Kerry Jordan on the Charles Jordan-246 Profile
Notes From Kerry Jordan on the Charles Jordan-15607 Profile
Kerry Jordan The YDNA evidence from the Jordan Surname Project at FamilyTreeDNA does not support the merge of Jordan-618 and Jordan-246. There appear to have been two different men named Charles Jordan. Descendants of Charles Jordan-618 are in the JG03 YDNA line and Charles Jordan-246 should be in the JG08 YDNA line, although I know of no male Jordan surname descendant of Charles who has taken the YDNA test to confirm this. There are other sons of Charles Wesley Jordan-10170 whose descendants test into the JG-08 YDNA line. The former Charles Jordan-618 and Charles Jordan-246 have different fathers, Jordan-191 and Jordan-10170, respectively.
Not enough people have provided their YDNA to WikiTree for the inconsistencies to be evident but there is compelling evidence on FamilyTreeDNA Jordan surname project.

It sounds like we are in complete agreement, there are only two Charles Jordan unique identities being conflated here and not three. (Three identities would be really confusing, rather we have three profiles that need to be pared down to the two identities.):
Unless I hear otherwise, I'll proceed with trimming them down to just the two identities you outlined.
Thanks.

2. Read the comments on Jordan-14693 and Jordan-246.
If you have such evidence please add it to the profiles, otherwise, I see no reason to have three profiles.
1. Different fathers.
2. Jordan-14693 lacks sources.
3. The biography of [Jordan-15607] is intermingled with the biography of Charles II [Jordan-246].
We need more Jordan DNA to sort this out.
