Biography

Robert Jarman II was a Maryland colonist.

Robert Jarman was believed to have been born about 1680. He does not appear in the Calvert County, Maryland, records until 1711, about thirteen years after the first record of John Jarman.

Robert married in 1705 Calvert County, Maryland to Mary Meads, the daughter of John Meade of Calvert County.^[1]

"Mary Meade" appears on Queen Anne's County, Maryland deed records with her husband, in August,1732.^[1] They had five sons and probably at least one (possibly more) daughter(s).^[1]

In June, 1733, Robert Jarman conveyed to Stephen Yeo of Queen Anne's County, carpenter, "for love and affection said Robert bears said Stephen," 68 acres part of Branford in Queen Anne's County.^[1]

The wording of this deed suggests a daughter who married to Stephen Yeo. So far, no other evidence has been discovered.^[1]

In 1724, Robert was elected warden of All Saints Parish, Queen Anne County Maryland, and in 1725, a vestryman.^[1]

Robert acquired the Calvert County section called, "Bulling's Right," in two parcels, purchased in 1718 and in 1729.^[1] In about 1730, he removed there and is found in various records at Calvert County.^[1]

Robert and his sons removed to North Carolina in about 1834.^[1] It seems they were without Mary; the reason is unclear. She may have passed away.
