Enterprise was founded as something of a river townin the 1830s near the upper end of the Chickasawhay River. Enterprisestills exist although it is quite small, probably ca. 500 as avery rough estimate. Clarke County lies just to the south of andcontiguous with Lauderdale County with its county seat and main citybeing Meridian, one of the larger cities in the state. Clarke County was founded in 1833 as one of the original counties ofthe 1832 Choctaw Cession. Its county seat is Quitman which is a few thousand in population today (ca. 5000 would be rough estimate).Clarke and all of the adjacent counties have had no significant boundary changes since their foundings.

WILL of Drewy Hart - brother John Hart - John Webb Land son ofNathaniel Land, Elizabeth Daughtry Carr daughter of Lawrence Carr - EXEC John Hart and Nathaniel Land - 4 Oct 1790 - 10 Jan1791. WILLIAM PHILLIPS was born in Dobbs County, North Carolina, on21 February 1782 (Ibid.). William died on 2 December 1853 in Lenoir County, North Carolina, at age 71. aged 70 years, 9 months,11 days (Ibid.). There is nothing to prove that William was the son of Thomas; however, he was the proven grandson of John, father toThomas. Thomas' brother, John, did not marry until after his father died. There was a close relationship between Sidney Coward andWilliam, both mentioned in their grandfather's will. There were also several entried in the Cross Indices between Thomas and hisassumed children including William. William's mother is not known, but looking at the names of his children she was probablyeither a Bond or a Lassiter. It is my theory that Thomas wasmarried twice, to a Bond and and Lassiter and William's stepmother rearedhim. William lived in the area of Edwards Bridge on the SS of the Bridge.Elizabeth lived on the NS of the Bridge in Greene County. 1844 Lenoir County Tax List - 4 blacks 807 1/2 acs $4032 WILLIAM PHILLIPS BIBLE Holbrook and Fessenden's Sterotype Edition Holbrook and Fessenden, Brattleborough, Vermont 1825 Page l Marriage Records William Phillips was married to Elizabeth D.

We further show the partition of theslaves by the defendants is utterly null and void and the plantiffsare entitled to have partition redone based on their value _ ANSWER OF STEPHEN C. PHILLIPS - Fall Court, Lenoir County, 1855 Stephen C. Phillips was the administrator. It is true as charged thatWilliam Phillips departed this life intestate sometime in theyear 1853 and at the January Term 1854 of the Court this defendant wasappointed administrator upon his estate. He used all duedilligence in endeavoring to settle the estate and has made much progress buthas not been able to clear up all the debts some of which were matters of litigation. Defendant admits that at the death of the said William, he owned theseveral negro slaves mentioned in the bill. John P. Dunn, James Cannady and Thomas Harvey Esq were the Committee to divide thenegroes. They met on 6 January 1855 and divided them into eight equal shares. Each person drew their lot and took their divisionhome. Some of the parties have sold their slaves, some have hadthe misfortune to loose some of theirs by death. The defendants says itwould be impossible to redivide all of them and the ones he keptto pay off the estate debts can't be divided. He has no slaves in hispossession he is not entitled to except Jacob. It was agreed thatJacob would be sold to pay the debts but he has not been sold. Defendant admits his father did make to him several advancements inhis lifetime as follows One negro man worth $300, 205 acres of land worth $1200, Cash $375,one horse worth $40, one mare and colt worth $50, one cow and calf and 2 hogs with $9, one pair of cart wheels worth $6.00,plough and gear worth $5.00 Defendant is ready to account for his said advancements upon thefinal settlement and he charges that advancements were also madeby his said father to all of his said children and they ought also to berequired to render on oath an account.

" As I am desirous of perpetuating a family record for my posterityand having but limited means for a correct information, I have thought it advisable to give such information in a chronologicalmaner as I am convinced may be true with a view that my posterity will keep up the family record as it has often been my lot to be at agreat loss in the genealogy of my ancestors, a record everyfamily should cherish, and keep alive if their forebears have done nothingdiscreditable and I am proud in saying mine so far as my knowledge extends have not; but who have persued a course perfectlyconsistent to christianity and the rights of man, a duty I enjoin on my descendants.

This by virtue of the fact that Allen was transferringland to Priscilla as per some legal agreement made by Titus. Although therecords do not prove the relationship, it certainly seems toimply that Allen and Priscilla were far more closely related than cousins,for Allen to be transferring property to Titus's daughter.

She married William Jordan, son of CharlesJordan and Elizabeth (Jordan), on 13 May 1839 in Lowndes County, Mississippi (Could be the date of the marriage)(Deed.) (.). She died in West Point, Lowndes County,Mississippi. From Jack Elliott The following documents were copied from Clay County Deed Book G, pp.67-69, in the Clay County Courthouse West Point, Mississippi. It was copied from a deed book in Lowndes CountyCourthouse, Columbus, Mississippi, where it was originallyrecorded prior to the 1872 creation of Clay County. _ p. 67 Warranty Deed Allen Carr to William Jordan September 17, 1841 "…in consideration of and [sic] instrument of writingdecreed to me Precella [sic] Jordan requesting and directingme the said Allen Carr to convey to William Jordan all the property both real andpersonal and the proceeds of the same mentioned in a deed of conveyance executed Titus Carr to the said Allen Carr on the 30th dayof November 1835 conveying certain lands therein mentioned.

Ragsdale and wife to Allen Carr (all of the above parties are residents of Lowndes County,Mississippi) For $5440 Section 14 T17 R6E _ _ Priscilla Carr Jordan was evidently born about 1812 in that she islisted as being 38 in 1850 and 59 in 1870. At the time I do notknow when she died. Her husband William Jordan died in June 1864 accordingto a record of a case in Clay County Final Record Book #2, pp. 1-20. He was evidently born ca. 1815 in that he is listed asbeing 35 in the 1850 census. Children of Priscilla and William Jordan as listed in the 1850 censusare: Elizabeth 11F Charles C. 9M Priscilla 7F Sydney 4F Elizabeth married (1) Charles Y. Westbrook on November 27, 1858 (hedied 1861) (2) Titus Carr Exum on August 26, 1865 she died on January 16,1897. according to her headstone she was aged55 years, indicating that she was born ca. 1841 in contrast to the 1850 census which has her born ca. 1839. Charles C. was apparently dead by 1878 in that he is not listed as anheir of William Jordan in the 1878 suit cited above. Priscilla married John T. Kerr Sydney married on October 10, 1864 to John E. Jordan, who was the sonof her father's brother (Moses Jordan died 1865). Regarding the identity of Priscilla Carr's first husband, a Holliday,I might throw in one clue. The 1841 Lowndes County MS deed from Allen Carr to Priscilla Cart Holliday Jordan that referred tothe 1835 Greene County legal instrument by Priscilla's fatherTitus Carr was for a parcel of land in Section 14, Township 17, Range 6East. Looking at a map of land ownership in the area for 1840 indicates that a Thomas Holliday owned Section 11, to the north ofand contiguous to the parcel in Section 14. There were no known children of Priscilla4 Carr andThomas ? Holliday. WILLIAM JORDAN was born circa 1815. He died in June 1864 inWest Point, Lowndes County, Mississippi. The four known children of Priscilla4 Carr and William Jordanwere as follows:
From Jack - "Jack D.Elliott, Jr." <jde3@ra.msstate.edu> #77 Charles C.Jordan, the son of William and Priscilla Carr Jordan. I can elaboratea bit on him. I feel sure that he'sthe Carrol Jordan who is buried in Greenwood Cemetery in West Point.His gravestoneinscription read that he "died January 15th, 1855 in the 12[sic] year of his age". This approximates fairlyclosely the age given for Charles C. Jordan in the 1850 census. Insupport of my hypothesis is: 1. There is noCharles C. or Carrol listed in William and Priscilla Jordan'shousehold in the 1860 census. I list theentries for 1850 and 1860 (note also the "Mary Holleday" in 1860: 1850 Lowndes CountyCensus from Betty Woods Thomas transcript #600 William Jordan 35 FNC 25 slaves Prisilla 38F NC Elizabeth 11FMS Charles C. 9M MS Priscila 7F MS Sydney 4M MS 1860 Lowndes CountyCensus 687/701 William Jordan 45M NCplanter 6000/85,000 Priscilla 47F NC Ida[Priscilla] 16F MS Sidney 14F MS Mary Holleday 24FNC 2. Neither of WilliamJordan's brothers who lived in the area (i.e. Moses Jordan andCharles R. Jordan) had a son whocould be identified with the Charles C. or Carrol. Ergo the processof elimination herestrongly supports that Charles C. and Carrol were one and the same.Possibly Charles Carrol Jordan?
re #78 PriscillaJordan. Apparently her full name was Ada (or Ida) Priscilla Jordan.This is based in part upon thecensuses where in 1850 she is listed as Priscilla while in 1860 she'slisted as "Ida" (see above). Also, there'sa marriage record for her giving the date of marriage or marriagebond for "Ada P. Jordan" m. John T.Kerr in Lowndes County, 10 June 1863.

"On February 16, 2002, I found in the Westbrook file in the BryanPublic Library, West Point, Mississippi, four pages of photostatic copies of family entries from a Bible that had been usedby the Westbrook - Carr family. The record suggests that it was initially kept for the family of Moses and Sidney Ann Carr Westbrook,then following Moses's death in 1854, the Bible remained with Sidney Ann following her remarriage to Lewis Whitfield Carr, who waspresumabley her cousin." "The photostatic copies were apparently sent to West Point in 1971 bya descendant, Moses Lawrence Westbrook of Houston, Texas, as suggested by this excerpt from a letter that I found in thesame Westbrook file." The excerpt stated that his cousin, Floy Robinson, granddaughter ofSidney & L. W. Carr, died in Austin, TX, "several months ago," & the writer, knowing that his cousin had the originalBible, called her daughter & the daughter said he could copyanything made in the Bible by Great Grandmother Sidney in her ownhandwriting.

Stephen C. Phillips gave James E. Harper land for love andaffection 3. Rebecca was listed with JEF on the 1860 census but Sidney waslisted in 1870.

NellenMiller, her granddaughter,probably entered information for one of them at Salem, and perhapsJennie (m. T. C. Westbrook) gave Salemthe info for the other one listed. Surely Jennie knew what her realname was ! I'm inclined tobelieve it was "Jane J." plus whatever additional names given - whyelse say Jane J. m. T.C. Westbrook ? Hardto figure. _ TITUS C.
