The 1850 censu lists "Thos M Jordan Jr" in the household of Thos M Jordan. Like his father, he was, at that time, a carpenter. By 1860, Thomas, a farmer, had married Rebecca Lee, and was living in Lee, Maine, where they were married.

He apparently remained behind in Maine for a few years, perhaps until Rebecca's death, when his father and his brother Charles moved to Minnesota between 1850 and 1857.

He may have purchased land adjacent to his father near Greenleaf, MN, in 1869. In any case, in 1870, Thomas, farmer, is living with his parents in Minnesota. There is a child Mary in the household, likely hias daughter Edna M.

Thomas and Maria/Hannah, following their marriage in 1871, remained in Minnesota through 1885.
Rebecca's parents may be Nathan and Mary A Lee as, in 1860, Thomas, Rebecca, Frank and Emma (Edna?) are farmers living next door to Nathan and Mary. Rebecca died sometime before Aug 1871, when Thomas married Hannah Maria Russell.

Child 2. EdnaJordan Memorial lists "Edna M." In 1860, she is listed as Emma M. In 1870, she's listed as Mary.
