    1. [WVGREENB-L] Jarrett Brothers: James and David
    2. Sara Patton
    3. Thanks, Joyce, Very interesting. Earliest date I have for Jarrett brothers (James and David) in Greenbrier Co are entries in the Mathews Trading Post account books. James is listed in April 1771 and Oct. 1772, David is listed in Oct. 1772-as purchasing powder, lead, and a paper of pins. I also found both men listed in the original Greenbrier Company Land records on file in the VA State Archives. At the time, Greenbrier Co was still part of Botetourt Co, VA (pronounced here in VA as "Bot-a-tot") . I found a deed for David Jarrett for 270 acres on "Woolf Creek", a branch of the Greenbrier (ostensibly where the fort was located) dated March 7 1774 and for James Jarrett, March 5, 1774 (also listed as Botetourt Co,VA), 216 acres on "Mudy" Creek, branch of Greenbrier to Felty Yoakham's corner. George and Michael See also lived in same Muddy Creek area where their father, Frederick See had first settled in 1751. Felty Yoakham, who married a See, was killed by the Shawnee in July of 1763, along with Frederick See. The See and Yoakum wives and children were carried off to the Indian villages across the Ohio where they were later freed and returned to Greenbrier county. John See, one of these captive children, grew up, fought in the Rev. War, returned to Greenbrier Co., and married Margaret Jarrett, daughter of David Jarrett and Jane Griffy/Griffith (Possibly a sister to James Jarrett's first wife Elizabeth Griffith/Griffy). Several other of the Sees also intermarried with later generations of Jarretts. Several of John's branch moved on to Cass Co, Indiana where more Jarretts show up in the mid-19th century. Since I've been primarily looking at the See and Yoakum families, I need to get back to Greenbrier and look some more at the Jarretts. More pieces to the puzzle! Sara Patton
