Misc. Notes
Source indicates Mark and Eva were married in Hunterdon County, NJ. They had eight children. The first child was born in Pennsylvania in 1783, so it appears that Mark and Eva got in their wagon right after the wedding and headed to PA.
It also appears that Mark & Eva made at least one trip back to NJ as one of their middle children was born in NJ, perhaps Eva was visiting her father and the siblings who did not move to PA.
The children of Mark and Eva married into the following families: Taylor, Lawyer, Harley, Smith, Whitehill, Ross and one unknown maiden name.
____________
Like tanneries and woolen mills, grist mills* were by necessity, early industries. The first ones were run by water power and located usually at the mouth of a stream. One of the early millers was Mark Jordan who [in] (1814) came to Curwensville and was possibly miller for Robert Maxwell who owned the second mill in the county on Anderson Creek at the mouth of Roaring Run.769
____________
Mark Jordan is listed as an Elder when the Pike [Curwensville] Presbyterian Congregation was formally organized in 1822 or ‘23.
Later in the same document, referring to men who fought in the Revolutionary War 1776-1784, it indicates Mark was an Elder of the earliest church at McClure Cemetery, but who lived within the present [1949] borough of Curwensville in a log cabin which stood where R.H. Lininger now lives.768
____________
Mark Jordan is listed among the Revolutionary War Soldiers on an historic marker for McClure Cemetery, Clearfield County, PA. See the photo in Multimedia.3
____________
Mark Jordan’s log house [in 1814] and it’s approximate location within the present [1946] borough of Curwesnville, PA is identified as the home of R.H. Lininger.770
____________
Descendants of Mark Jordan identified as Marriage with families of Thomas Ross, John Smith, William Harley, Fred Haney, Caldwell and Bloom.770
*A gristmill or grist mill is a building in which grain is ground into flour. In many countries these are referred to as corn mills or flour mills.771
