Notes for Sarah JORDAN

The only record of her is contained in Volume II, part 2, Indian Depredations, 1787-1823, Original Claims in the department of Archives and History of Georgia, consisting of an affidavit made in Hancock County, Georgia, on October 14, 1822, to the effect that, some time about the year 1779 she lived with and was at her father's house -- upon the north fork of the Ogeechee river (then Wilkes County) which houses stood near a Fort called Harris and by other called Fort Marbary) when the Creek Indians, supposed to be three hundred in number, made an attack upon said fort. They commenced their attack about one o'clock at night. That this deponent was in the fort and saw her father's house which was near and in sight, her father and one other then being in the house from which they retreated into the fort. She recounted the loss of said house and outhouses with contents "reasonably worth three hundred dollars"; six head of horses: eight cows and calves. "There were pieces of hides left and the general impression among the white who came to the relief of the fort the next morning was that some pieces of hides and horses were used to carry off the dead and wounded."

Since this affidavit was made in Hancock County in 1822, it is reasonable that additional records concerning this Sarah Jordan may be located there.
