wife of Richard Jarratt

Not the same as Margaret Sherwood

We don’t know the name of the wife of Richard Jarratt. Their son Robert was born say 1627, so they married before then.

Notes

??

Jay G. Jarrett says in the 1640s Robert, Richard, another Samuel, and John Jarrett all came to Virginia Colony about the same time. Richard patented 1600 acres in various parts of the Jamestown area. They were all related and from the same area. Most of the Jarrett family moved to Georgia in the 1700s. They were believed to be Will’s brothers and/or cousins.

Will Jarrett lived on his 200 acres of land in the Weyanoke District near Henry Cittie, now Henry City Co, Virginia, until he died at age 92. Will is buried in Fort Jamestown Cemetery.

Will and wife, Margaret Jane, had a son named Richard R. Jarrett, who had sons, Charles and Thomas, who were members of the Horse Militia in 1687, and also daughter Elizabeth. Crystal Jarrett Inman shows a document that states Richard married Margery Bellingham, who then married Wm. Chambers after Richard died.

Richard R. had a half-brother, Robert, who was the son of Margaret Jane (1600-1680) and Devereaux Richard Jarrett. But things are a little muddy, for both Richard R. and Robert are given the same birth date of 1625; and Devereaux, born in 1591, lived until 1684 (93 yrs.), while Will lived from 1594 until 1685/6 (91/2 yrs.)
