Goodmorning Jordan cousins. Here is a map of northwest Arkansas and the eastern edge of Oklahoma where the Jordan family lived between the 1860s and the 1930s. William Andrew Jordan (1869-1960) was born in Rheas Mill, AR, married in Siloam Springs, AR, and died in Stillwell, OK.

His wife Ida Mae Scism (1873-1934) was born in Bloomfield, MO, gave birth to their eleven children around Lincoln, AR, and died in Skiatook, OK. Several of their children were married in Fayetteville, AR.
