I have all kinds of National archives records.
Land records, Revolutionary war records, war of 1812, widows pensions,

children, wife and sometimes parents; Brothers and sisters are in several.
Several tell details of how they looked 6'1 brown/red hair and Blue eyes are
on 2 brothers widows pensions telling what their husbands look like. (My
gggrandfather and his brother).
This is where all our history is stored.

In my grandmother's narrative of the family history, she wrote that her
Grandfather, WILLIAM HENRY JORDAN, came to COLUMBIA Caldwell Parish,
