Pioneer Jordan Family - Wauconda, WA

Glen · March 6, 2007

Linked are pages from the wonderful book, Trails and Tales of the early-day settlers of North-Eastern Okanogan County. Here is the record of the 'Amos Jordan' family. The author made a bit of an error. The father's name was William Jordan. Amos was his oldest son. The mother's name was Mary. William was a brother of Elizabeth Jordan who married Amasa Galloway. The Galloway's also lived in Wauconda in this era and are recorded in this book. Amasa and Elizabeth were the parents of Charles Amasa Galloway who was the father of Elsie Luetta (Galloway) Hamilton. In this account, we learn insights about the Jordan family including the account of Clarence and Ollie's amazing gold strike in the Cascades near Liberty by Blewett Pass.
