Jordan Tysor, for many years a member of the Sandy Creek Association, died at his home in Chatham County January 30, 1895 at the advanced age of 98. He lived to see his descendants, for four generations, walk in the faith of their fathers and retained his mental vigor to the last. Children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren were present at the burial. Lucy Ann Poe was the daughter of Jesse Poe, Sr. and Charity Patterson. Their home was on the old Gulf-Cumnock Road, along George's Creek, deep in the woods in front of the present home of Henry L. Oldham (in 1972). The Poe cemetery is near the old Poe homes. Charity's father, Gilbert Patterson, ran the ferry and blacksmith shop at Gulf. Gilbert Patterson had a land grant in Chatham County (then Bladen County) in 1748 for 640 acres.
