• Notes

  Amanda filed for a pension after Charles died in 1908. Her file, 14145 stated her age to be 60 years of age in September of 1908, and residing in Callahan County, Texas.  She stated in her request that she married Charles Stewart Jordan on 11 June, 1865. This coincides with county records that say she was married to Charles Stewart Jordan on 12 June, 1865 in Robertson County, Texas.  Amanda died on 24 January 1918 in Mills County, Texas, as the county Judge requested a decision be made on if her pension could be used by her widowed daughter.
