Rev. Jordan C. Chandler was born March 22, 1797, in Wattsville, Laurens, South Carolina. He was 76 years old when he died on October 7, 1873, in Gladeville, Wilson County, Tennessee.
Jordan purchased 60 acres on Pond Lick Valentine's day 1822 from William Murray. The 1850 census shows several of Josiah's grandchildren were nearby: House 520 was John N. Chandler family (son of William and Rachael); house 522 was Lucinda Chandler (widow of John Wesley, son of Jordan's brother, Andrew) with 3 children and her mother, Sarah Rogers before they left for Illinois. House 523 was Jordan's daughter, Sarah Ann Paulina and her husband, Asa Graves Rogers, with 5 of their 10 children.
Jordan was a Methodist minister. Where he received his education and what churches he served is unknown, but something of his spirit speaks through the will he wrote: "I had a lovely companion who strove faithfully with me for what little we had," but did not name her. "I gave her my note to be settled after my death...leaving me in debt after doing the best I could for you all through my afflicted life." "my dearly loved children whom we loved with all our hearts,", but did not name them. He burned an earlier will because his wife died first. He made son, John William, the Executor of his will and left the will in his desk, but he had not provided witnessess to it. Proof was finally made in court by A.H. Grissom, Jesse A. Griggs, W.P. Russell and J.C. Lanius, one of whom was a son-in-law.
