My g2gfather, Thomas S. JORDAN /
JOURDEN /
JOURDAN, and his wife, Mary, adopted a little girl, Mary
DISON /
DYSON, b. 1876. Apparently they did not legally adopt her, since she kept the surname
DISON /
DYSON.
In 1876, Thomas, Mary and the children moved from Opelika to
Coosa County,
AL, and in 1878, they moved to
Ashland. I have no idea when or where they adopted Mary.
