Georgia Irene Watson Jordan (pronounced Jerdin), known as "Miss Georgie" by her friends and neighbors, was a stalwart member of Salisbury, NC's Second Presbyterian Church. She was born September 27, 1865 and died April 24, 1941. She was buried in Salisbury NC's Chestnut Hill Cemetery. Miss Georgie married John C. Jordan and had four children: James Frank (b. October 1891), Thomas Locke (b. January 1893), David Calvin (b. June 17, 1897), and Mary J. (b. May 1900).
The papers in this collection are composed of approximately seventy letters, fifty receipts, several newspaper clippings, and a few printed materials collected by Miss Georgie. These materials were written between 1872 and 1925. The letters reflect the everyday concerns of a rural people: courting, marriages, births, deaths, crops, and the weather. A dispute over a family land division, the despondency of a father who has lost two wives and several children, a WWI doughboy's letters home from Camp Caswell, and the arrangements made for an elderly father who deserted his family and a never-married sister who was getting up in years may be found here.
To better understand the letters, a knowledge of the family that wrote them is useful. The following information was pulled together from basic genealogical sources such as census indexes, marriage bond records, and loose estate papers. The processor's research notes and a family chart is included in a separate file in the collection. Only that genealogical work needed to establish the ties between the correspondents was performed.
The Family:
Georgia Jordan's parents were William F. Watson (b. 1835) and Martha Jane Locke (b.1833). The 1880 census index for Rowan County lists her siblings:
Margaret A. (b.1859)
David L[ocke]. (b.March 31, 1861-April 3, 1942) Never married; lived with his sister Mittie.
Mary M[ittie] P[riscilla] (b. 1863-) Never married; lived with her brother David.
*Sallie R. (b. May 17, 1868-March 16, 1911). Married James H. McKenzie, September 7, 1886.
William G[ibson]. (b. June 30 1873-August 26, 1929). Married Hattie West December 11, 1895.
Matthew L. (B. 1874-).
Miss Georgie's mother, Martha Jane Locke was the daughter of Matthew Locke and Margaret Gibson (b. 1812) who were married March 2, 1830. According to Matthew Locke's loose estate papers filed in Rowan County in 1839, James B. Gibson was named the gaurdian of four Locke children. :
Martha Jane
Mary Ann (b. 1836)
Richard W. (b. 1838-1884?) [Death date assumed from letter in collection dated May 6, 1884]
Sophia E.
The 1850 census index for Rowan County lists a household headed by James B. Gibson (b. 1812) Martha Locke (b. 1833), Mary A. Locke (b. 1836), and Richard Locke (b. 1838). Also present is a Priscilla Gibson. Priscilla Brandon (b. 1786) married William Gibson January 29, 1805. She was apparently the mother of James B. Gibson and Margaret Gibson.
Matthew Locke died around 1839 and Margaret Gibson Locke remarried on September 24, 1842. Her second husband was James Harvey Smith (1817-1904), a onetime schoolteacher. James Harvey Smith left his wife and children sometime between 1860 and 1870. Margaret Gibson Locke and James Harvey Smith had four children:
William A. (b. 1846),
*Eliza (b. 1846) married J. M. Lowrance on November 11, 1868 and moved to Seborn, GA and later lived in Dunwoody, GA.
*Delia (b. 1847-April 27, 1916)
*James (b. 1853) became a medical doctor in Trimble, Tennessee.
*The primary correspondents found in this collection.
Series I. Letters
1872-1925
Arrangement: chronological
Letters of the Gibson/Smith/Locke/Jordan/Watson family. They begin in 1872 with a card from Philo White, the local newspaper editor, to "Aunt Prisy Gibson" and continue until 1924. The letters include correspondence between the Smiths regarding the problem of their elderly father, a land division between the Watson siblings, and a visit by a former Union Army officer cousin to Salisbury. Most of the letters primarily contain information about the different family member's everyday lives.
James Smith's letters to his sister Delia begin in 1881 and continue until 1904 when their father dies. The majority of the letters were written around 1900. They speak of James Smith's medical practice in Tennessee and the many people headed west from that part of the country, sickness, the weather, the treatment of piles (February 25, 1902) and prohibition of whiskey in Tennessee (June 26, 1887). In December 1899, Smith writes his sister, hoping that she will come and help him with his household, and a month later he alludes to his father who deserted his and his sister's family. In March of that same year, Smith writes Delia wondering what they can do with their elderly father and the following month he writes his sister with yet more bad news, another child has died, leaving James to echo Job, "I fear and Love God, but I am most severely persecuted . . ." Several more letters from Smith follow. There are also letters in this portion of the correspondence that seem to have been written by the father, James Harvey Smith, from York Institute, NC to Delia Smith in Salisbury (August 31, 1902 and January 3, 1903). In these letters Smith asks his daughter to come join him and plans a move to Mooresville, NC.
Letters dealing with the division of some family land begin December 1891 and run through the following year. Georgie Jordan was upset with her portion of the land and seems to have complained to her brothers and sisters. Correspondents in the land letters include Georgia's sisters Mittie Watson and Sallie Watson McKenzie as well as her brother-in-law, J. H. McKenzie.
There are also several letters from a "cousin" of Miss Georgie's, Thomas F. Safley, former colonel of Company L, 8th Tennessee Calvary, Gen. Stoneman's division (Union forces), written between the years 1915 and 1924. In these letters he recounts his trip back east from his home in Washington State, his visits with scattered relatives, his reunion with old war comrades from the G.A.R., and his hopes for a great family reunion in Salisbury.
There are two letters from Miss Georgie's son, J. F. Jordan in the collection. They were written home from Fort Caswell during World War I (September 15, 1917 and March 5, 1918). In the first the Rowan County doughboy notes, "I drawed 42.20 payday. We got paid tuesday I never saw so much money in all my life as I did payday I have got $15 in the bank but I think I will lend it before payday some of the boys went broke payday night." And in the second, the young soldier tells his grandmother, "We are working pretty hard now we haft to drill 2 hours in the morning on the 12 in mortar and 3 hours in the eavening and we also have physical excercise about one hour before breakfast and believe me we can eat anything most."
Most of the letters carry information such as the news Lela sent her "Mama Jordan" (Miss Georgie): "I picked a five quart bucket of black berries this morning and Emily picked a 1/2 gallon bucket nearly full. Juanita and Margaret were in the bed yet. There is a good many in the pasture." Another example of this sort of information may be found in a letter dated February 12, 1892. It was addressed to "Dear George": "Sorry to hear you are having such bad luck with your chickens. Ours are dying with colera got three dead hens out from under the house. haven't found any right lately." In addition to reflecting life on the farm, these letters illustrate the drastic and remarkable changes that occurred in the everyday life of everyday folk during the brief time span around the turn of the twentieth century. "Aunt Kate" Cowan wrote to Georgie from Schoolfield,VA on February 20, 1924:
It rained and froze broke several limbs out of one of our shade trees in front yard telegraph poles went down in places The Ca ? houses are without light tonight but we are not. We do not get the power from the city ours was off this morning and a good part of the day but they were back on by 4 oclock this evening . . . We don't know much about the cold only when we go out. our house is steam heated is warm all over. Joe had it put in just before xmas. It is nice to go all over the house and find it warm. I tell them it is all right I recon but when it is bitter coldI like to see the fire. They laugh at me.

Georgia Jordan Papers
Description
An account of the resource
Georgia Irene Watson Jordan (pronounced "Jerdin") was born in 1865 and died in Salisbury, NC in 1941. She was buried in Salisbury's Chestnut Hill Cemetery. She was know as "Miss Georgie" throughout her lifetime. She married John C. Jordan and had four children; letters from the oldest child James Frank (J.F.) are represented in the Digital Archive collection.
The Georgia Jordan Papers consist of letters, receipts, newspaper clippings and a few printed materials collected by Miss Georgie and written between between 1872 and 1925. These items reflect the everyday concerns of a rural people. The inventory for this collection can be found at MSS#9510.
The digitized version of this collection was produced as a part of the Internet Multimedia Studio (IMS) project in the School of Information and Library Science (SILS) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). The IMS project is a part of an initiative to enhance the instructional use of technology at UNC-CH. The virtual archives presented here is the result of a pilot project conducted with the Rowan Public Library in Salisbury, North Carolina, during the spring of 1997. It had the explicit goal of developing a model for conversion and distribution of such materials that could be applied on a larger scale to libraries across the state. SILS faculty member, Dr. Helen R. Tibbo, coordinated this project with Mr. Kevin Cherry, a recent SILS alumnus, and Public History Librarian at Rowan Public Library. SILS students, Laura Micham and Lynn Pritcher, were responsible for the document selection, scanning, and Web page development for this project.

Dear Sister Your letter received pleasantly. Well I have sold all my household good my residence __ above - sold my stock of drugs; we'll not sell my farm and Hotel as the rents (?) are good. This time next week (?) will find me gone from here I guess. Do not know just where I shall go but West - I think is best - for me in the mountains.
Probably in the Ozark Mountain region somewhere. I may stay in Chicago a couple of months at a Post Graduate Medical College. Will take the children with me there of course. Well you had a tone in your letter I did not like. you agreed for me to sell the place and also expressed a desire to come and live with me but now you think I treated you wrong by selling the place. Now I can not afford to buy you a home but as long as I have a home you shall be welcome to share it. When I shall settle again I can't say now but of course soon I think. As to my marrying again as Pa [end of letter]

Dear Sister
I had a letter from you yesterday but not in answer to my last to you. I have lost all my ambition since the death of my dear little boy my 14 months babe. It seems God is very harsh in his dealings with me and why I do not know. I raised myself nearly and I do not think I am a bad man. I fear and love God, but I am most severe
ly persecuted it seems to me. Since living in Trimble 18 years I have buried 2 wives and 4 children besides 2 still born babes. I shall leave here very soon indeed. My children are out in Country and miles snowpersecuted it seems to me. Since living in Trimble 18 years I have buried 2 wives and 4 children besides 2 still born babes. I shall leave here very soon indeed. My children are out in Country and miles snow (?) for a few days. I am afraid for them to stay in Trimble. I shall start out West in 3 or 4 days to look for a location. I have a nice family living with me. Had an old negro woman with us who took good care of my children but she died Feb. 14, 1900. You need not write me again till you hear from me Re__. Jim

Georgia Jordan Papers
Description
An account of the resource
Georgia Irene Watson Jordan (pronounced "Jerdin") was born in 1865 and died in Salisbury, NC in 1941. She was buried in Salisbury's Chestnut Hill Cemetery. She was know as "Miss Georgie" throughout her lifetime. She married John C. Jordan and had four children; letters from the oldest child James Frank (J.F.) are represented in the Digital Archive collection.
The Georgia Jordan Papers consist of letters, receipts, newspaper clippings and a few printed materials collected by Miss Georgie and written between between 1872 and 1925. These items reflect the everyday concerns of a rural people. The inventory for this collection can be found at MSS#9510.
The digitized version of this collection was produced as a part of the Internet Multimedia Studio (IMS) project in the School of Information and Library Science (SILS) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). The IMS project is a part of an initiative to enhance the instructional use of technology at UNC-CH. The virtual archives presented here is the result of a pilot project conducted with the Rowan Public Library in Salisbury, North Carolina, during the spring of 1997. It had the explicit goal of developing a model for conversion and distribution of such materials that could be applied on a larger scale to libraries across the state. SILS faculty member, Dr. Helen R. Tibbo, coordinated this project with Mr. Kevin Cherry, a recent SILS alumnus, and Public History Librarian at Rowan Public Library. SILS students, Laura Micham and Lynn Pritcher, were responsible for the document selection, scanning, and Web page development for this project.

Dear Grand Mother
I guess you will be supprised to here from me. I got a letter from Dave the other day and he said that he had been out to your house and he said that you gave him some sausage and a chicken. Mamma cooled the chicken and some sausage and sent me some it was sure fine that was the best sausage that I have had in a long time. I have been sick for about two weeks with a cold but I am some better. I have got bad teeth to. I had one jaw tooth pulled out it

won't bother me anymore I know. Well Grand mother I don't guess that John will have to go to war. I hope not any way. I guess you are glad and I but he is to. I have been told that the fellows that are conscripted catch the dickens. We are working pretty hard now. We haft to drill 2 hours in the morning on the 12 in mortarr and 3 hours in the eavening and we also have physical exercise about one hour before breakfast and believe me we can eat any thing most. We are getting fed pretty good now. I sleep next to Rosco Page he sure is a good boy.

How is John and his girl getting along or has he got one. Tell John to write to me I am always glad to here from my home folks. I got a letter from Floyd Jordan last week and he said that he was thinking of moving to Salisbury. He lives in Lexington now. Grand ma I don't know when we will go across to France but I don't think that it will be soon though I thought Xmas that we wouldn't be here a month but things have been changed a lot. Well I haven't got any thing much to write about much so I will close.
From your son JF Jordan

Georgia Jordan Papers
Description
An account of the resource
Georgia Irene Watson Jordan (pronounced "Jerdin") was born in 1865 and died in Salisbury, NC in 1941. She was buried in Salisbury's Chestnut Hill Cemetery. She was know as "Miss Georgie" throughout her lifetime. She married John C. Jordan and had four children; letters from the oldest child James Frank (J.F.) are represented in the Digital Archive collection.
The Georgia Jordan Papers consist of letters, receipts, newspaper clippings and a few printed materials collected by Miss Georgie and written between between 1872 and 1925. These items reflect the everyday concerns of a rural people. The inventory for this collection can be found at MSS#9510.
The digitized version of this collection was produced as a part of the Internet Multimedia Studio (IMS) project in the School of Information and Library Science (SILS) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). The IMS project is a part of an initiative to enhance the instructional use of technology at UNC-CH. The virtual archives presented here is the result of a pilot project conducted with the Rowan Public Library in Salisbury, North Carolina, during the spring of 1997. It had the explicit goal of developing a model for conversion and distribution of such materials that could be applied on a larger scale to libraries across the state. SILS faculty member, Dr. Helen R. Tibbo, coordinated this project with Mr. Kevin Cherry, a recent SILS alumnus, and Public History Librarian at Rowan Public Library. SILS students, Laura Micham and Lynn Pritcher, were responsible for the document selection, scanning, and Web page development for this project.
