James Spurgeon Jordan (/ˈdʒɜːrdən/ JUR-dən;[1] June 3, 1871 – January 28, 1962) was an American conjure doctor and businessman. Born to former slaves in eastern North Carolina, he learned folk healing practices from his family. His faith healing practice, using methods such as herbal medicine and crystal ball reading, became well known along the East Coast. This and his other business endeavors developed a community around him known as "Jordanville".
