Discussion: For the first three occurrences (where it refers to the KJV Jordan), Jordan is misspelled. In [http://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/morm/5.3?lang=eng#2 Mormon 5:3], Scribe 2 wrote Jordan, then Scribe 1 corrected to Jordon in P. Although this could be a legitimate change for the city, because of Cowdery's other errors in spelling Jordan, it is likely that his correction is wrong here.

Summary: Maintain Jordan for all KJV instances and for the city, since it is most likely.
