Jean Dejarnette, of Poitier, France arrived in Virginia with land grant from English king for 5000K acres.[citation needed] He married Mary Mumford about 1703.[1] She was born about 1683, and died in 1765 in St Patrick's Parish, Prince Edward, Virginia.[2]
(Correction by De_Jarnette-5, 10-05-2021: A previous edit in this section stated incorrectly that family lore alleges that Jean's wife was a German Jewess. The Frost book discusses this, relating to the ancestry of Jean de Jarnette, not to his wife's ancestry.)
Mary's will was dated 14 April 1765 and was probated on 19 Aug 1765.[1]
She was the daughter of Edward Mumford (Maunford) and Mary Sarah Watkins, m. 1682, Abington. Both were born in Abington Parish, Virginia.
