Subject: [INOWEN] Reuben Jordan - Owen Co. IN
I'm trying to locate some information on Reuben Jordan. He owned 75 acres
in Owen Co. and died in 1869 leaving everything to his wife ...but
unfortunately his will doesn't give her name...he also named a daughter -
Julia ? July - to inheiret upon his wife's death, but no last name. Any
help is appreciated. I have a copy of his will that was recorded in Sept
1869 by one of his witnesses - David Welty. Thanks friends.

PS. Also trying to learn about Elisha McDowell and his family from
Vandenburgh Co. Indiana. He was born in 1828 and md. Delila Taylor (first
marriage) in 1846 ..then Dorcas Elizabeth Upton in 1874.
Thanks and have a blessed Sunday! Prayers to all those who are
encountering the floods.
