An interview of Carlo Brittain Hoskins traces the travels of Jordan and his family and gives some insight to their family life during that time. Carlo stated that Jordan and the family were living at the "head of Reuben on Beech Fork" with Jacob Burkhart for a few years and that Jordan was studying to be a preacher under the guidance of Jacob. The two men had a quarrel and the family then moved over the mountain to the "head of Straight Creek in Harlan County." There the family lived under a cliff for a few months until they moved "down the bands of Straight Creek in a laurel patch at the forks, known as Baily Fork. They lived in a new shack built for Jordan to teach a subscription school. He taught there 2 or 3 months, when they moved to the head of Main Long Fork of Spruce Pine of M. F. at an old settlement." Jordan and his family lived here for two years and then moved "back over the mountain crossing Straight Creek and over the Pine Mountain to a place on Cumberland known as Landsdown Mill." There they lived in a water mill a few miles above Wallins Creek, in Harlan County. This corresponds with the 1860 listing of Jordan and his family in the Harlan County census. Apparently, Jordan continued his moving around, by 1869, he had moved further away, and was found in Owsley County, where his son Jordan B. Gross, Jr. was born, however, by the following year he was back in Clay County. Jordan was then found in the newly formed Leslie County in 1880, but was back in Clay County when he wrote a deed to A.J. Asher in October of 1888. At this time, Jordan sold "one undivided interest in the old Edmon Gross farm as an heir to the same lying in Harlan County Kentucky on the right hand fork of Straight Creek" for $30.00 to A.J. Asher. This was the same land that was deeded in 1885 to Edmond Jr. by the heirs, which Jordan did not sign.
