Jordans Chapel Cemetery Summary Report, page 31

The only other parcel of Samuel Ward's land that adjoined property of Bartholomew Jordan was the west half of Section 8, Township 4, Range 1W. Samuel bought this land in 1844 (Deed Book U, page 362) from Bartley M. Lowe. The land Bartholomew Jordan owned that was adjacent was the east half of the same section - township - range. While Samuel Ward didn't own the land in Section 8 in 1826, when Batt Jordan deeded land for the Methodist Episcopal Church, that of itself does not preclude it from being the parcel later referred to as bounding the Meeting House Tract in 1847. The 1847 reference may have applied to ownership of the land bounding the Meeting House Tract as of 1847. Therefore, this particular clue cannot be taken as definitive by itself. However, when placed in conjunction with the next clue, it becomes part of a puzzle whose pieces begin to fit together much better. 31 - (3185)
