Thanks everyone who answered my request for info on Jarrett's Fort on Wolf's Creek. Although the building of the fort has been attributed to James Jarrett (who lived on Muddy Creek), I believe it was built by his older brother, David who had 270 acres on "Woolf Creek", a branch of the Greenbrier on South side of Greenbrier River on Woolf Creek" in 1774. But the deed records are fairly skimpy in details of location. When I was at the Greenbrier Historical Society a couple of years ago, I was told that the flats around the mouth of Wolf Creek were called Jarretts Meadows or Jarretts Flats. Then later someone else told me that one of the universities was planning to do an archaeological dig of Jarrett's Fort but that it was located much farther up Wolf Creek, going toward town of Wolf Creek which appears to be pretty hilly country. I've often wondered if it was built on the same site as an earlier fort built by Henry Baughman and attacked by Indians in 1755. The original Greenbrier Company Land records and Botetourt Surveyors Records Bk 1:192) are somewhat confusing in describing Henry Baughman's land opposite the mouth of Muddy Creeke on south side of Greenbrier River" and "including the mouth of Wolfe, patented to Henry Baughman 10 Aug 1759 and conveyed by him to Gen. Andrew Lewis...which said land is known by the name of Baughman's Place." I'd really like to pin it down!
