I have some info on Jordan that might help you. He was my great-grandfather. My line is Jordan Thomas Sharpton> Nim Thomas Sharpton> Ben Sharpton> Bennie Sharpton (me).My grandfather (Nim) was born in 1892. Jordan left just before he was born. My grandfather said that John Wesley was the last one to talk to Jordan before he left. Jordan said he had to leave because of a fued with his in-laws the Tolers. Jordan stated if he didn't leave he was going to have to kill every d--- one of the Tolers. Jordan left and made a stop in Cullman Al. then went on to Yuba Ok. Once in Yuba he changed his name to Charley T. Wages. I have a copy of his Death Certificate which indicated he was married. The certificate is signed by his wife but I can't make out the first name. The attending Doctor J.S. Read certified that he attended to Jordan from 9-25-1916 to 9-28-1916 and saw him alive on 9-28-1916. The time of death was 11:30pm on 9-29-1916. The cause of death was stab wounds from a knife. If you or anyone would like a copy of his Death Certificate e-mail me a --dsbs@progressivetel.com--and give me you snail mail address I will be glad to send you a copy        Bennie Sharpton  in  My GenForum
