Retired electrical engineer. I live in Rockingham County in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. I have worked on various Jordan clans of the Potomac highlands for about 40 years. Starting with almost nothing, a great uncle gave me a box of papers that had been handed down from generation to generation from my ggg-grandfather Sampson. This box contained letters, deeds, surveys, receipts, inventories, etc, from the days of Sampson and his father Andrew. This started a life long quest to know more about this family that had more questions than answers. It has been satisfying to uncover the distant memories of family members and their stories.
