Thomas Jordan, grandfather of Crockett I., came to America in the British army sent over to keep the colonies in subjection. After the war was inaugurated, he was made prisoner by the Continental army, and when paroled chose to settle down as an American citizen rather than return to England. He married and made his home in Botetourt county, Virginia, and Michael , his son and father of Crockett I, was born in that county. Michael came to this (then Montgomery) county, and married Elizabeth TOLINGER, who was born in what is now Pulaski county. He was a tailor by trade and also carried on a farm successfully. James and Hannah (WYGAL) MILLER, parents of Ellen, wife of Mr. JORDAN, were born in Pulaski county. Crockett I. JORDAN and Addison L., his eldest son, were members of Company F, Fifty-fourth Virginia Infantry, in the civil war. Addison L. after taking part in a number of battles was made prisoner and sent to Camp Douglas, Chicago, where he was held eleven months. Mr. JORDAN filled the office of postmaster in 1852-3, and bought his present farm in March 1853, and resigned his official position to give his entire time to farming and grazing, in which he has accumulated a comfortable competence.
