BRACKBILL. Among the early families of Paradise township, Lancaster county, the Brackbill's deserve prominent mention. Honored representatives are identified with the interests of the county today, and stretching into three centuries, the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth, the family has been actively and influentially asociated with the development of the region.
(I) Rev. Benedictus Brackbill was born in the seventeenth century, near Weiler, on the river Harre, in Germany, and sailed from there, with his wife Maria and three children, Ulrich, Bakbara and Maudlin, landing in Philadelphia Aug. 24, 1717. He located between Strasburg and Bunker Hill, in Lancaster county, and there died.
(II) Ulrich Brackbill, son of Rev. Benedictus, was born in Germany in 1708, married Fanny Herr and left four children, Fanny, John, Benedict and Anna.
(III) Benedict Brackbill, second son of Ulrich, was born in 1730, and married Mary Kendig. They had eight children, John, Elizabeth, Mary, Henry, Anna, Susanna, Benjamin and Christian.
(IV) Henry Brackbill, son of Benedict, was one of the successful agriculturists of Paradise township. He was born Aug. 25, 1771, and occupied and tilled a farm adjoining on the south what is now Leaman Place. He married Miss Susan Eshleman, by whom he had a family of five children, as follows: John, a lifelong farmer near Strasburg, Lancaster county; Maria, who died unmarried at the age of thirty-seven years; Benjamin, a sketch of whom appears below; Jacob, who died unmarried Dec. 20, 1882, in the seventy-seventh year of his age; and Henry, who died in Paradise township Jan. 25, 1879, in his seventieth year. The father of these children died July 6, 1837, aged sixty-five years.
(V) Benjamin Brackbill, son of Henry, was born in Paradise township Nov. 10, 1803, and throughout the many years of his life he remained a resident of that township, where he engaged successfully in farming. He married, Jan. 5, 1837, Miss Susan Howry, who was born March 14, 1813, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Funk) Howry. To Benjamin and Susan Brackbill was born a family of eight children, namely: Mary Elizabeth, born Nov. 21, 1837, unmarried, a resident of Vintage; Elam H., born July 7, 1839, a farmer near Vintage; Elias E., who is named below; Susan, born Feb. 4, 1844, residing with her brother, Elias E., and her sister at Vintage; Lydia Ann, born March 23, 1846, who married Peter Hess, of Cumberland Co., Pa., and died Dec. 7, 1888; Benjamin O., born Sept. 19, 1848, a farmer of Salisbury township, who died Sept. 26, 1896; Jacob F., born May 19, 1850, a farmer of Paradise township, who died Oct. 22, 1887; and Henry P., a merchant of Vintage, a sketch of whom follows. The mother of these children died Feb. 16, 1865, in the fifty-second year of her age. The father survived until Sept. 11, 1891, passing away at the ripe old age of eighty-eight. Benjamin and Susan Brackbill were devout members of the Old Mennonite Church, with which faith all the children except Jacob and Henry P. are now connected.
(VI) HENRY P. BRACKBILL, a prosperous merchant of Vintage, the son of Benjamin and Susan (Howry) Brackbill, was born on the homestead farm in Paradise township May 11, 1853. He was reared on the farm, attending the neighboring public schools. At the age of sixteen years he entered the store of E. H. Esbenshade, at Leaman Place, as a clerk, in which capacity he remained for two years. He then accepted a similar position in the mercantile establishment of David Houston, at Bethania, where he also remained two years. With the experience in commercial life thus gained he came at the age of twenty-one to the store at Williamstown, or Vintage, which he now occupies, succeeding to a business there conducted by Henry Rutter, and since then carrying on a general mercantile trade. It is one of the notable establishments of Lancaster county, outside of Lancaster, for he carries a full and attractive stock. Mr. Brackbill is one of the progressive and active business men of his part of the county, and it is largely to his energy and keen insight that he owes his marked success in the mercantile field. He has been postmaster at Vintage since the office was established there, during the administration of President Harrison. Mr. Brackbill is one of the directors of the Gap National Bank, and is connected with other interests.
On Jan. 1, 1870, Henry P. Brackbill was married to Miss Emma Diller, daughter of Lewis Diller. To this union have been born three children, Cora, Bessie and Harry D., all at home. Mr. and Mrs. Brackbill are active and prominent members of the Presbyterian Church at Leacock, of which he is now eider and trustee.
ELIAS E. BRACKBILL, son of Benjamin and Susan (Howry) Brackbill, was born Aug. 25, 1841. He has been an active and successful farmer of Paradise township, and now lives retired, with his two sisters at Vintage, highly respected and esteemed by his many friends and acquaintances.

CHRISTIAN E. BRACKBILL. One of the most skillful, and consequently most successful, young farmers of Salisbury township, Lancaster Co., Pa., is Christian E. Brackbill, who was born on the farm on which he still lives Jan. 13, 1871. His parents, Elam and Barbara (Hershey) Brackbill, are natives of Paradise township, Lancaster county, where they now reside, but they came to Salisbury township in 1870 and remained until the spring of 1892, when they returned to their native township. Elam Brackbill, a general farmer, was born in 1841, and his wife Barbara (Hershey) Brackbill, in 1851. To their marriage have been born eight children in the following order: Christian E., whose name opens this biography; Susan E., who is married to Daniel Eshleman, a farmer in Leacock township; Magdelina, unmarried; Ida E., wife of John Eshleman, a farmer in Salisbury township; Anna M., wife of John Groff, a farmer also of Leacock township; Harry G., a school teacher, at home; Esther S., also at home; and Elam, deceased. Elam and Barbara (Hershey) Brackbill are members of the Mennonite Church, and for many years Mr. Brackbill was a school director, an office which he filled with marked astuteness. The paternal grandparents of Christian E. Brackbill were Benjamin and Susan Brackbill, and the maternal grandfather was Christian Hershey, who married a Miss Metzler, both of Lancaster county.
Nov. 2, 1893, Christian E. Brackbill was united in marriage with Miss Anna Buckwalter, who has borne him one child, Ellis B. Mrs. Brackbill was born June 14, 1867, in Salisbury township, and is a daughter of Isaac and Magdalina (Hershey) BuckWalter, of whom further mention will soon be made. Immediately after marriage Mr. Brackbill settled down on the farm of 102 acres in Salisbury township and began operations on his own account. As he had been born and reared on the place and was familiar faith every feature and phase of its conditions and intimates with the constituents of its soil and its mutations under climatic or thermal influences, his success was assured at the beginning and he has now as profitable a farm as there is of its dimensions in the township.
In politics Mr. Brackbill is a Republican, but has never sought public office; yet he has served one term as school director, by appointment to fill out an unexpired term. He is an attendant at the Mennonite church, of which Mrs. Brackbill is a devout member, and his walk through life is such as to merit the esteem of his numerous warm-hearted friends and that of the general public, which is accorded him in a marked degree.
Isaac Buchwalter, father of Mrs. Christian E. Brackbill, and now living in retirement in Salisbury township, Lancaster county, was born in East Lampeter township Nov. 1837, and is one of the eleven children born to Henry and Barbara (Neff) Buckwalter, the former of whom died in 1861 at the age of fifty-four years, and the latter in 1864, when fifty-six years old, their remains being interred in Mellinger's cemetery in East Lampeter township. The eleven children comprising the Buckwalter family were born in the following order: Mary, living in Soudersburg, the widow of John Downer; Anna, deceased wife of Benjamin Eby; Susan, who was first married to Walter and next to John Denlinger, but who has now passed away; Sarah, deceased wife of Emanuel Denlinger; Hattie, wife of Israel Landis, of East Lampeter township; Lizzie, wife of Daniel Kreider, of the same township; Barbara, wife of Peter Hershey, of Paradise township; Benjamin, deceased; Freeland, of East Earl township; Martin, of Strasburg township; and Isaac, named above. The paternal grandparents of Isaac Buckwalter were named John and Judith Buckwalter and were natives of Lancaster county.
Isaac Buckwalter and Mattie Hershey were joined in matrimony at Lancaster in 1864, and eight children have resulted from this marriage, namely: Anna, now Mrs. C. E. Brackbill; John, still at home; Mary, married to Chris Zimmerman, a farmer in East Earl township, to whom she has borne three children; Barbara, wife of David Sensinick, mother of two children, and residing in Salisbury township; Isaac, Freeland, David and Martha--all four still at home. The mother of this family, Mrs. Mattie (Hershey) Buckwalter, was born in Salisbury township, in Jan., 1845, and is a daughter of John and Mattie (Musser) Hershey.
Mr. Buckwalter at marriage rented his present farm but by leading a frugal and industrious life soon became its owner, and is now one of the wealthiest men in the township. He and his wife are members of the Mennonite church, and in politics Mr. Buckwalter is a Republican.

BENJAMIN OWEN BRACKBILL (deceased). A man of quiet manners yet forceful in his influence upon the community in which he lived until cut off by an untimely death, was Benjamin Owen Brackbill, a representative of a sterling old Lancaster county family, a life long farmer and a citizen who won the esteem and good will of his many acquaintances. He was born in Paradise township, Lancaster county, Sept. 19, 1848, son of Benjamin and Susan (Howry) Brackbill. He was reared in Paradise township, where members of his father's family still reside, attending the district schools, and in the serenity of agricultural life developing a character of strength and of many lovable traits. He was married in the Mennonite Church of Salisbury township, Nov. 5, 1878, to Miss Anna Martin, whose ancestors were old and prominent pioneers of the county. She was born in Salisbury township Aug. 14, 1853, daughter of Joseph and Mattie (Oberholtzer) Martin, natives, respectively, of Salisbury and Warwick townships, and the granddaughter of Abraham and _______ (Hurst) Martin, prominent farmers of Lancaster county, and of Samuel and Martha Oberholtzer, also farmers of Lancaster county. Abraham Martin, the paternal grandfather, was twice married, his second wife having been Anna Hostetter. Joseph Martin, the father of Mrs. Brackbill, was born in 1822, and was a life long farmer. He died in September, 1900, aged seventy-eight years, and was buried in the old Mennonite cemetery near Farmersville.

Joseph Martin, the father, was twice married, his second wife having been Catherine Oberholtzer, a sister of his first wife. To this second marriage was born one child, Susannah, who died young.
To Benjamin O. and Anna (Martin) Brackbill were born children as follows: Martin, a bookkeeper at Lancaster; Edith S.; Abraham B., a student at Millersville State Normal School; Isaac D.; Mary E.; Joseph E.; and Moses A. Benjamin Owen Brackbill settled upon the farm of eighty acres in Salisbury township, which he continued to occupy until his death Sept. 26, 1896. He was buried in the Old Hershey Mennonite Church cemetery in Salisbury township. He was a consistent member of the Mennonite Church, to which faith his surviving family adheres. In politics he was a Republican. Aided by the worthy efforts of his devoted wife he made a success of the farm and was regarded as a prosperous and enterprising agriculturist. His widow survives, and is highly respected for her womanly qualities and her devotion to home and children.

Gallstones were the cause of her death. She had enjoyed good health all her life until the last three months, when her health began to fail. She was bedfast only 4 weeks.

BENJAMIN M. HERSHEY, who is the proprietor of two threshing machine outfits, and devotes much of his time in season to their operation, was at one time an active farmer, and now has his home on his farm, which, however, is under the management of a son-in-law.
Mr. Hershey was born in Paradise township, Lancaster county, June 21, 1855, and is a son of Christian and Magdalina (Metzler) Hershey. His father, who was born in Salisbury township, died in Paradise township, in May, 1895, at the venerable age of eighty-four years. For more than twenty years he was a school director, and the utmost confidence was felt in the community both in his personal rectitude and in his business ability, a confidence that often took the expression of committing to him the settlement of important estates, and the administration of considerable trust funds. During his last fifteen years he lived a strictly retired life. Mrs. Magdalina Hershey, who was born in Paradise township in 1820, is still living on the old homestead, as active and as industrious as when younger, and is regarded by her family and the community with much reverent love and esteem as a lady of high character and Christian devotion. She became by her marriage with Mr. Hershey, the mother of the following children: Barbara, who married Elam Brackbill, of Paradise township; Mary, who married C. H. Brackbill, of Kinzers, Pa.; Abraham, of Detroit, Mich.; Benjamin, whose name appears above; Israel, who lives in Lancaster; Magdalina, who is unmarried, and lives at home; Joseph, who is at home, married; Amos, married, and is living at home; Sarah, who is the wife of Levi Wenger, a farmer of Leacock township.
Mr. Hershey was twice married, his first wife having been Barbara Stauffer, by whom he had two children, Isaac, who is dead, and Anna, who is the wife of Samuel Denlinger.
Benjamin M. Hershey was married Dec. 9, 1875, in Lancaster, Pa., to Barbara A. Kreider. To this union have come the following children: John K., who married Emma Sweigart, and is a farmer in Leacock township; Nettle A., who died at the age of nine years, and Cora M., at home, unmarried, twins; Anna M., who married Edwin Good, and lives at home, having one daughter; C. Aaron; Benjamin K.; Barbara A., who died an infant; Amos K. and Emos K., twins, who both died in infancy; Alta E., who is at home.
Mrs. Barbara A. Hershey was born on the farm where she is now living, May 30, 1856, a daughter of John and Anna L. (Landis) Kreider, both natives of Lancaster county. Her father was a farmer, and came to the present home of Mrs. Hershey when a lad of nine years of age. There he spent his life. He became a man of considerable prominence in the community in which he lived and was elected to various township offices. His death occurred in November, 1874, at the early age of forty-nine years. His widow passed to her reward in 1887, at the age of sixty years. Both were buried in the cemetery connected with the Mellinger Church. They were, like the parents of Mr. Hershey, members of the Mennonite Church. To them were born the following children: Abraham, who died in infancy; Barbara, who is Mrs. Hershey, noted above; Anna, who married a Dillinger, and is now dead; Jacob, who died in infancy. The paternal grandparents of Mrs. Hershey were Jacob and Anna Kreider, both of Lancaster county; her maternal grandparents were Abraham and Barbara (Landis) Landis, also of Lancaster county.
Benjamin M. Hershey remained at home with his parents until his marriage, when he located on his present place, where he has led a most industrious and useful life. For the last five years he has been school director, and is one of the prominent and influential men in his community. In his politics he is a Republican, and in religion both he and his wife are devoted members of the Mennonite Church.

Sprinkle - Davis generations in my database. (I have 15,560 individuals) I
am a descendant of Cecil Sprinkle and Mary Roberson.
I have the Madison and Buncombe county Sprinkle's researched back to the
original Sprinkle settlers in "Old Buncombe county" which at the time was
actually the Gabriel's Creek area of Mars Hill.
My favorite hobby is genealogy. I have 34 genealogy reference books for
Madison and some for Buncombe County. I access families in the delayed
birth, marriage, death certificate indexes, obituaries and cemetery books
and hard copy of 1900 Madison County census. I have online subscriptions to
federal census, state death indexes and SSDI.
Aubrey is my 2nd cousin, once removed.

Her death certificate, cemetery listing and obituary are Hattie. George and
Hattie were a handsome couple. Hattie's mother, Sarah also had an
interesting face.Their son George, Jr. inherited the farm overlooking the
French Broad River. Mildred and Mary were educated at Fruitland Institute.
Mildred was a registered nurse.

51. Jeanne Jarrett, “Jarrett Family,” 11/4/2003, Tim Jarrett’s records.
I looked up my name, Jeanne Jarrett. I have additional information if you want it. My father was Jones Eli Jarrett, born July 12, 1921 and died June 14, 1970. My mother is Maxine Whitt Jarrett, born October 19, 1923. My twin sister, Joyce Jarrett Staubs, and I were born on May 15, 1947 in Miami, Florida. Our younger brother, Terrence Eli Jarrett was born on November 4, 1952 in Riverdale, Maryland. My sister was married on February 14, 1976 to Ralph Arthur Staubs, nickname “Butch.” Butch died on November 7, 1979. Their son, Joel Eli Staubs was born onMay 6, 1979. My brother, Terry, was married to Karen Elaine Hoskins on August 19, 1978. They have two children: Jason Bradley Eli Jarrett, born February 5, 1980 and Jennalee Elaine Jarrett, born on December 2, 1983. Incidentally, my grandmother was Minnie Belle Jones Jarrett. I don’t know the exact date she and my grandfather were married. I do know they eloped to Spartanburg, South Carolina, probably in 1902 or 1903. Unfortunately, the official recorded data for that period is unavailable. Thanks so much for all the Jarrett family information. If I have more information on down the line, I’ll send it along.

Solomon Guv (Gove) Speagle married Julia Ann Shuford in Burke Co. NC. His father was Robert Phillip Speagle and his mother was Rachael Rudisill daughter of John Rudisill of Burke Co. NC. They were married Sept. 16, 1858 Burke Co. NC. Robert served in the Civil War. He enlisted in Company F of the 23rd regiment of North Carolina State Troops on Oct. 13, 1863 and was sent home on wounded furlough in the latter part of the following year.Robert was the son of Solomon Speegle son of Michael Speegle and Sarah Jarrett daughter of Samuel Jarrett. Michael is the son of John Martin Speegle and Sarah Nan Jarrett daughter of John Jarrett. These two Sarah Jarrett's are kin. The one that married Michael was the daughter of Sarah Nan Jarrett's brother Samuel Jarrett. John Martin Speegle was born in Germany and came to America in the 1740's on the ship Molly. I can take this line back to the 1500's if you need any help just let me know.

Hi, glad to hear back from you..I am curious though, how to you connect to this part of the family tree? I believe you received some of this information from Jeanne Jarrett when I was reading thru the Jarretthouse.com. She is my cousin (she has a twin, Joyce) and a brother, Terrence. I have not seen or heard from this part of my family in years. Last I knew, they moved to Tennessee. Do you have another email addy other than thru facebook that I could use to give you what information I do have. I can add on more generational information and correct some of the info u have now. One major thing tho, I have never ever heard of Pansy. My mother always referred to Mini Doris and Doris, so that was a little surprising to me also. My mother was Charmon, and that name is also incorrect, it is Charmaine Phylliss. My mother's nickname was Charming...which became known as Charmon I guess with the dialect, etc...but in reality was Charmaine. Also, Hattie passed away about 3 years ago and was the last of that family. She was the 2nd born child.

Hi, I discovered a family tree in a dead website...it was for Jackson Eli and Minnie Belle Jones Jarrett. I found it interesting because they are my grandparents. There are a few errors, I don't know if you care to update or correct them. Jeanne is my cousin, have lost contact with here several years back..all I know is that she is somewhere in Tenn with her family. If you are interested please contact me back...
gburesch@comcast.net thanks and have a great day

Hi Tim,
Your website is quite interesting.
I grew up in Madison Co., NC and have the Jarrett - Roberson - O'Dell -
Sprinkle - Davis generations in my database. (I have 15,560 individuals) I
am a descendant of Cecil Sprinkle and Mary Roberson.
I have the Madison and Buncombe county Sprinkle's researched back to the
original Sprinkle settlers in "Old Buncombe county" which at the time was
actually the Gabriel's Creek area of Mars Hill.
My favorite hobby is genealogy. I have 34 genealogy reference books for
Madison and some for Buncombe County. I access families in the delayed
birth, marriage, death certificate indexes, obituaries and cemetery books
and hard copy of 1900 Madison County census. I have online subscriptions to
federal census, state death indexes and SSDI.
Aubrey is my 2nd cousin, once removed.
Tidbits ......
Ernistine S. Sprinkle name spelled wrong. No S middle initial
William S. Sprinkle not a child of this family
Lucille Sprinkle not a child of this family
Guy Jack Sprinkle
Ted Sprinkle
Bobby Sprinkle
Gay Nell Sprinkle spelled wrong
Shirley Sprinkle
Addison Warren Addison name wrong
Birth 12 Oct 1902 date wrong
Death Mar 1955 date wrong
Mildred Roberson
Birth 1898 date wrong
Patty Sue Warren (Adopted) wrong name - true she was adopted but she would
not want it posted on the internet.
John & May Roberson's sons
John not Johnny
Maurice not Morris
George Eli Roberson, Sr.'s wife is Hattie Jarrett. I never hear her referred
to as Harriett.
Her death certificate, cemetery listing and obituary are Hattie. George and
Hattie were a handsome couple. Hattie's mother, Sarah also had an
interesting face.Their son George, Jr. inherited the farm overlooking the
French Broad River. Mildred and Mary were educated at Fruitland Institute.
Mildred was a registered nurse.
Jesse Sprinkle and Laura Jarrett:
Laura was born 1870
Jesse is spelled Jessie on his headstone
Cinda was Lucinda and she was called Cindy.
take care,
Ellen

68. Susan Booker, “About James Patton and his family,” 9/2/2003, Tim Jarrett.
Hello, Tim-
I'm glad you enjoyed the info re Rachel Jarrett Patton - here is the link to
the site about her brother-in-law, James Patton. His autobiography makes for
fascinating reading, but doesn't contain any material about Rachel other
than to note that James's brother Daniel Patton married her. It incorrectly
states that they had two children - there were three, James Grimes, Sarah,
and Catherine (I may have the order of the girls wrong, but James G. was the
eldest). After the three children were married or widowed young adults, they
continued to live side by side and are listed in the Coffee County census
for 1840, the two sisters living together next to their brother James G.
Patton. Somewhere I have a bit more about the girls' families - one married
and moved to Texas, where her husband died. She returned to Tennessee and
lived with her sister, and later remarried to a man from Kentucky. I do have
more information about James Grimes Patton, my g-grandfather, who was
married twice, to Harriet C. Ross and later to my g-grandmother, Mary
Caroline Hunter. He had five children by his first marriage and nine by his
second, as I may have written you - his youngest child was my grandmother,
Susie Alice Patton (Bassett). Forgive my seeming forgetfulness, but I sent
two very similar messages about the Patton family to different people,
almost simultaneously, and I can't recall who received what!
Hope you enjoy this material - good to hear from you.
Best wishes,
Susan Booker

Subject: Rachel Jarrett
Hello, Tim-
It was good to discover your weblog and Jarrett family genealogy. Rachel
Jarrett was my g-g-grandmother. She was married to Daniel Patton, brother of
the well-known James Patton of County Derry, Ireland, and Asheville, NC -
James's autobiography is online as part of the University of NC's "American
South" series.
Daniel Patton and Rachel Jarrett Patton moved to what was then Bedford
County, TN, around 1807, along with Daniel's brother Thomas Patton and his
family. Rachel and Daniel had three children, not two, as some records
incorrectly read: James Grimes Patton, Sarah Patton, and Catherine Patton.
Rachel died when the children were in their teens, as she and Daniel Patton
had married rather late in life, and Daniel died a few years later, leaving
two minor daughters, a son of twenty, and no will. Guardianship of the two
young girls was assigned to their first cousin Neely Shaw Patton, son of
Thomas, presumably as he had children near the same age and lived nearby on
Noah's Fork of the Duck River in what is now northern Coffee County, TN.
James G. Patton, my g-grandfather, married a few months after his father's
death.
There is an old abandoned Patton Family Cemetery near Noah (a wide spot in
the road), just across the road from Thomas Patton's old farm, which is
still rural but was for sale as of late March, 2003. Thomas Patton, his wife
Jane Shaw Patton, and a number of their descendents rest here. At Thomas and
Jane's feet are two graves marked only by fieldstones. My strong suspicion
is that these are the resting places of Daniel and Rachel Jarrett Patton,
and that fieldstones were all that their children could manage for them.
James G. Patton married twice, first to Harriet C. Ross, daughter of Rice
Farrar Ross, and secondly to my g-grandmother, Mary Caroline Hunter. He had
14 children, five by Harriet and the rest by my g-grandmother. My
grandmother, Susie Alice Patton, was his youngest child. His sisters also
married and had children, but I do not have full information about them and
their descendents.
Hope this is helpful - always nice to discover an online cousin!
Best wishes,
Susan Booker

FAMILY HISTORY: Jarretts contribute greatly to local history
by Dorothy Gillum Bryant, SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN-TIMES
published June 5, 2006 12:15 am
The West Asheville neighborhood is working to preserve the historic Jarrett House at 46 Louisiana Ave. The house, built in the 1890s, is of architectural interest. Cabins and Castles reports, “Thomas Jarrett was a millwright at the Clayton Mill and did much of the work on the house himself.”
Thomas, born in 1855 in Buncombe County, was the son of James Montraville Jarrett (1823-1909), who married Loucinda Owenbey (1835-1901). James was a colonel in the Civil War with the 190th North Carolina Militia. He was the son of Noah Jarrett and Betsy Israel Jarrett. In the records the Jarrett name is variously spelled as Garett, Jarrat, Jarret and Jaret.
Thomas Jarrett married Catherine Aiken in 1875. She was born in 1859 and died in 1946. Thomas died in 1895. They are buried in the Jarrett Cemetery that is adjacent to, and accessible through, Green Hills Cemetery in Asheville. The 1925 Asheville City Directory lists Catherine Jarrett widow of T. C. at 46 Louisiana Ave., West Asheville.
These Jarretts are descended from Daniel Jarrett, born in Pennsylvania, 1747, who married Mary Catherine Moyers there. Daniel’s father was John Jarrett who married Anna Maria and received a land grant in Macungie, Pa., in 1735 where they raised their family. Daniel and Mary Catherine moved to that area of Mecklenburg County, N.C., now known as Cabarrus County. Daniel’s name is found in many Mecklenburg Court Records. They lived briefly in that part of Burke County now known as McDowell County. Then they settled in Buncombe County. Noah Jarrett was one of their ten children.
Sondley’s History of Buncombe County tells of early Jarretts who were active in the county government. John Jarrett was one of the commissioners appointed to carry out the plan for the town of Asheville.
William Patton Jarrett, the son of Noah, and his family moved to Gilmer County, Ga. He enlisted in the Confederate Army and served as Captain of Company F, 60th Regiment of the Gilmer County Volunteers. This family eventually moved back to North Carolina and settled in Cherokee County. Then they moved to Clay County and established a farm where they remained.
A new book by Elizabeth Walton, “Jarrett: Pennsylvania to North Carolina and Beyond,” about these Jarretts is dedicated to William Patton Jarrett and his service to Gilmer County in the Civil War. The author recorded information from many sources so the Jarrett story might not be lost, “for they are worth remembering.” For more information about this new book, contact Elizabeth Walton, PO Box 623, Social Circle, GA 30025
Other sources used in writing this article: Kenneth Israel, “The Children of Israel;” Kenneth Israel and Evelyn Campbell, “Joshua Jones of the Misty Blue Mountains;” “Heritage Book of Old Buncombe County, Vol. 1.”
71. Arlene Hampton, “re: some Jarrett info.,” 28 Dec 2002, Tim Jarrett.
I was looking at your website: Leah Jarrett and wanted to let you know what I have.
Leah Jarrett b. 5 August 1795; married George Coleman who was born 12 January 1785. She died 17 August 1872.
I am a descendant through their daughter Rachel Coleman who married Robert Cunningham. Rachel and Robert are buried near Murphy, Cherokee Co. NC.
I don't know if you have been in contact with Charles Jarrett, but he has done a great deal of work on this line. His email address is: ChuckJ1270@aol.com
Hope this helps.
Stay in touch!

73. Jerry Freeman, “Moses Freeman,” 3/15/2005, Tim Jarrett.
I think Moses Freeman, married to Betsy Ramsey might be a nephew to Rev. Moses Freeman instead of a son.Probate records of an Isaac Freeman b about 1790 in N. Carolina d 1855 in Newton County Arkansas shows Moses Freeman , of Madison County N.Carolina, inhereting Isaac Freeman's property in Newton County.
I havent found the proof yot but i think this Isaac Freeman is a brother to Rev. Moses Freeman.

Hi Tim,
My grand parents were John Logan Ball and Cora Lee Olivia Allison Ball. I'm trying to find proof that Thomas Freeman b. 1777 was the son of Aaron Freeman, that was in Rowan co in 1774 and the brother of Rev. Moses Freeman. Can you help me with this.

Hi,
I found your website today while doing a search on the Freeman name. Found
my gr-grandfather in your listings. James J. Freeman according to his
pension papers was married 4 times. His second wife you have listed as
Margaret Furgeson, she was married before to a Furgeson. Her maiden name is
Wilson. If the census I have found is correct her father is Harvey Wilson
b. 1799. She was born 6 Nov 1849 in TN. They were married 8 Dec. 1872, she
died 1876 in Flat Rock, Pulaski County, Kentucky, possibly in childbirth.
Since this is the marriage I descend from thought I would update you.

I went to that town library that you spoke of in your journal. I didn't meet Cinzia but I met Maria Acocella, nice lady! The first time I went, I stayed for a week with my cousins and the second time, I stayed for 4 or 5 days. I had a wonderful time each time.

Seth:
Thanks for the update! I'm always glad to hear from another Freeman
descendant, especially one who's still living in the area. By the way, my
father and uncle both are living in Buncombe County, on property near Bear
Creek.
I have been hunting down cemeteries in Buncombe but haven't found the
Freeman cemetery in Madison yet. Where is it located?
Thanks for your note,

98. B. MacKie, “Re: Rice Farrar Ross,” 2/9/2004, Tim Jarrett.
Hi, There was a huge migration from Lincoln County, NC and Spartenburg, SC to Bedford County, TN about 1807 because of a drought. My McKisick ancestors, as well as Pattons, and Rice and his family all moved about the same time. I also have Pattons. My gg grandmother was Louisa Patton, daughter of William and Margaret Wright Patton. One of my McKisick ancestors married a David Patton in Bedford County. Other families who migrated were Dixons (Dicksons), McEwens, and McMichaels.
Below are some miscellaneous deed records as well as a list of the children of Rice and Sarah. I have a copy of two letters written by their daughter, Sophronia Ross McMichael. Also one by their son, Absalom Bonham Ross. Sarah was the daughter of Absalom and Rebecca Cox Bonham. Sarah's sister Rebecca was my ggg grandmother.

From the Echols book by Milner Echols.
"Old William Echols daughters married William Wynne, Vardre McBee and Daniel Williams and Richard Anderson. Of Wynne’s family I know nothing as they moved to Tennessee in an early date. Old Vardre McBee moved from Virginia to South Carolina before the Revolutionary War and was a Capt. In that army and was said to have done as much damage to the British and Torries in that part of the country as any Capt. In that country. He had two sons, to wit, Silas and Vardre. Silas was a very large man, went to Mississippi and died there. I know nothing of his family. Vardre still lives in South Carolina, Greenville District. He has six children, only one married, that a daughter, married a Mr. Carson. He has one daughter Malinda single, one son Luther, the rest I don’t know their names. He is said to be the richest man in that part of the state. His property is estimated at one million dollars. Old Vardre has several daughters. I don’t know their names. One married a man by name of Ross. How many children she had I know not. I only know one of her sons who is by name of Rice F. Ross. One married a man by name of Asher. They have one son in Dade County, Georgia, by name of William Asher, a very smart man. That is all I know of that family."

I appreciate your response and I hope you can help me. I don't even know for sure of my great grandfather's name. Part of those I've talked to say his name was Gov and others say it was Gull.

Warfel, John B.

JOHN B. WARFEL was born in Paradise township, Lancaster county, Sept. 19, 1830, son of John Warfel, who was a farmer until 1836, in which year he was appointed recorder of deeds for Lancaster county; he then with his family removed to Lancaster city.
Mr. Warfel's paternal great-great-grandfather, George Warfel, came from Germany, and was one of the early settlers of what is now Conestoga township, Lancaster county. He was twice married, and by his first wife had two sons, Henry and Peter. Henry married Margaret Good, and by that union had seven children, three sons and four daughters. Their second son, Jacob, married Marv Stoutzenberg, whose father was Jacob Stoutzenberg, and whose mother was Barbara Eckman, a granddaughter of Mathias Slaymaker, who came to this country from Strasburg, Germany, in 1710. Jacob and Marv (Stoutzenberg) Warfel had five children, one son and four daughters. John Warfel, the eldest, and father of John B., married Maria Eshleman.
John B. Warfel's maternal great-great-grandfather, Jacob Eshleman, came to this country in the ship "Mortonhouse," from Holland, landing in Philadelphia in August, 1729. He was married to Barbara Barr, and they had one son Jacob, who married Barbara Groff, a descendant of Hans (John) Groff, a native of Switzerland, who was one of the first settlers in the Pequea Valley. Barbara Groff's mother was Barbara Brackbill, a daughter of Rev. Benedictus Brackbill, who with his family came from Germany, landing at Philadelphia Aug. 24, 1717, and settling in what is now Strasburg township, Lancaster county. Jacob and Barbara (Groff) Eshleman had eight children. The eldest, Jacob, married Mary Brackbill, who was a daughter of Benedict Brackbill and his wife, Mary (Kendig), and a granddaughter of Ulrich Brackbill and his wife Fanny (Herr). Ulrich Brackbill was a son of Rev. Benedictus Brackbill, and Fanny Herr was a granddaughter of John (or Hans) Herr, who came from Switzerland in 1710, and who was the progenitor of the numerous Herr family now living in Lancaster county. Jacob and Mary (Brackbill) Eshleman had twelve children, Maria, the wife of John Warfel, and mother of John B. Warfel, being the fourth.
John B. Warfel received his education in the public schools of Lancaster, at the Strasburg Academy, and at Lewisburg (now Bucknell) University. From the latter, in 1895, he received the honorary degree of A. M. He taught the public school in the village of Paradise during the term of 1849-50, and the public school in Strasburg borough during the term of 1853-54. In the spring of 1854 he commenced farming on the place where he was born, and he continued in that occupation until 1863. In 1855 Mr. Warfel was elected a justice of the peace for Paradise township, and was re-elected in 1860. When elected a justice he commenced the practice of surveying and conveyancing, and in the latter business had a large clientage. He was elected a school director for Paradise township in the spring of 1856, and was re-elected in 1859 and 1862. In January, 1863, Mr. Warfel was appointed an examiner in the United States Pension Bureau, at Washington, D. C. He then abandoned farming, resigned his several positions in Paradise township, and with his family moved to Washington. While in that city, and serving as an examiner in the Pension office, Mr. Warfel commenced the study of law at Columbia College, attending the lectures at night. He graduated with the class of 1867, and shortly afterward was admitted to practice in the courts of Washington city, and at Lancaster, Pa. In April, 1867, he was appointed by the President of the United States assessor of Internal Revenue for the 9th Pennsylvania District, and he then moved with his family from Washington to Lancaster. In the spring of 1869 he was elected a member of the Lancaster city school board, and he has been re-elected and has served as a school director from that time to the present (1902). He was president of the board in 1877-78-79-8O. In 1869 he was elected senator, to represent Lancaster county in the State Senate. He was re-elected in 1872, and again in 1875, and while in the Senate was chairman of the following standing committees: Federal Relations, Education, Private Claims and Damages, Railroads, and Pensions and Gratuities. In May, 1872, Mr. Warfel was appointed a State trustee of the Normal School at Millersville, and he has been re-appointed, serving continuously as such to the present time; he has been president of the board since May, 1897. In 1876 he was one of the Presidential electors for Pennsylvania, on the Republican ticket, elected to cast the vote of the State for Rutherford B. Hayes. He was president of the Howard Benevolent Association of Lancaster for a number of years; president of the Lancaster County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for more than a quarter of a century; a director of the Farmers National Bank for a number of years until 1888, and since then has been a director in the Lancaster County National Bank. He was one of the organizers and for some time the manager of the Inquirer (now Wicker-sham) Printing Company; was director and president of the Union Building & Loan Association; and director of the West End Building & Loan Association. He has been trustee and W. M. of Lodge No. 43, A. F. & A. M., and trustee of Lancaster Commandery, No. 13, K. T. He has been a trustee of the Lancaster Cemetery Association since Febrtiary, 1882. He is also a trustee of the Home of Friendless Children, of Lancaster; of the Stevens Orphans' Home, of Lancaster; and of the Henry G. Long Asylum, also of that city. As executor and trustee Mr. Warfel has had charge of a number of estates, several of them quite large, and these occupied a great deal of his time and attention from 1874 to 1897. In April, 1877, in connection with J. M. W. Geist, Mr. Warfel comnienced the publication of The New Era Daily and Weeklv newspapers, and continued thus engaged until May 15, 1897, when he withdrew from the partnership, and retired from active business.
Mr. Warfel was married to Mary, daughter of the late Col. Isaac Girvin, of Strasburg township, Lancaster county. Of the children born to this union the following survive: Ila, wife of William F. Beyer, Esq.; John G., one of the firm of The New Era Printing Company; and Jessie F., at home. One son, Robert, died young.
