Family history tells that Jordan came to Pike Co., KY on upper Johns Creek to hunt for game. He got "snowed in" and had to spend the winter in a large hollow tree.

Both Jordan and Mary are buried in the Coleman/Dotson cemetery on Road Fork of the Right Fork of Peter Creek.

[An additional note from the annals of Family History states that Jordan died by drowning. It seems that he was "walking a footlog across Calloway Creek during a flood when he fell in and drowned before anyone could save him". This is documented in two handwritten family manuscripts in my possession. {Dotson-511}]
