Can you give a time frame for when they settled into southern Illinois? First names would be helpful if available.

Thank you.

Anything I have found says they settled in the early 1800's. The names are listed: These seven were Thomas's sons: Francis, Thomas, James, Elias, Reuben, William and Joseph.

My name is Diana Krause my mothers name was Shirley Jordan , her fathers name was Freeman Jordan . I know that we are descendents of the seven Jordorad brothers that settled in Williamson County. There is a town called West  Frankfort named for one of the brothers. As of now this is all I know.
