Thank you. I am descended from James' sister, Elizabeth. Elizabeth was my 5th great grandmother on my Snuffer (Schnaufer) line. I have her born in Pennsylvania on Sept. 20, 1753. She married Johann George Snauffer, Sr. about 1770 (his name later became "Americanized" to George Snuffer, Sr.) . She was his first wife. She died on Nov. 22, 1791 and is buried at the Salem Primitive Baptist Church, Copper Hill, VA. George Snuffer, Sr. moved to Claiborne Co., TN and served as a Sheriff there for two terms, but was also listed as a farmer, innkeeper, and stage coach driver! He is buried on what was his farm in Old Town Creek, Claiborne Co., TN. He is listed as a Revolutionary War Veteran and has a Revolutionary Veterans gravestone.
George was born in Renningen, Germany and immigrated with his parents to Pennsylvania in 1751. Presumably that is where he met and married Elizabeth Jarrett. George Snuffer, Sr. and Elizabeth's sons, George, Jr. and Jacob, eventually move to what is now Raleigh County. George, Jr.'s descendants became the Bolt, WV Snuffers and Jacob's became the Glen White/Crab Orchard, WV Snuffers.
I have James Jarrett, Sr. as Elizabeth's older brother, and I also have him born in Berks Co., Pennsylvania, but in abt. 1746 and his death in June, 1822 in Greenbrier Co., VA. I have attached a photo taken from a county history book (unfortunately I have lost the name of it and it's author). It appears to be the same photo as the findagrave photo, but has a bit more info. I also have the following information on James:
James Jarrett left Wolf Creek in 1787 and moved a few miles north on the banks of Muddy Creek, six miles north of Alderson, the house that was built in 1799 still stands and is owned by his descendants. James Jarrett is buried upon the hill in the garden behind the house, a weathered stone marks the grave of the Pioneer James Jarrett.
James and Elizabeth were children of David Jarrett (1712 - 1761) and Margaret Mary O'Conner Jarrett (1715 - 1798). Margaret was born in Ireland and died in Bucks Co., PA. David's parents were John Jarrett (1695 - 1755) and Nancy Foster Jarrett. (no other info available on Nancy Foster.
I am a 2nd great granddaughter of Miriam JARRETT, wife of John Paddy Huddleston. Miriam JARRETT is a sister of James Jarrett, I believe. Laura Morrison
