* Discussion: For the first three occurrences (where it refers to the KJV Jordan), Jordan is misspelled.

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.
