    Property<\/h2>\n

    This info came from a relative:
    \nProperty Notes: \u201cEllen Hurt to W.S. Jordan Oct. 1870. Whereas as one of the heirs of WM JORDAN, dec\u2019d I am entitled to an interest in the dower of the lands of my mother E.E. Jordan by ____ of the court. Now for the sum of $250 to me paid by W.S. Jordan, I have sold my interest in said dower to him, his heirs and assignees and do by these presents release and quit claimm all right and title to the same to said W.S. Jordan. (signed) Ellen Hurt\u201d
    \n(Roll 81, Gibson County Deeds, Vol. 2-3 1869-1872, Vol. 2., p. 436)
    \nI’ve contacted the TN State Library & Archives to get a copy of the original record. This record is significant in that it proves the relationship between Ellen and her father. The W.S. Jordan referred to might be her half brother. <\/p>\n
