The names of his sons are: Isadore, the oldest; Owen, Bernard P., Arnoldus, Ulysses, Michael M. and Lee and one daughter, Onolda, who married Jefferson Burgess. David Jarrett, Sr., born 1771, died about the year 1838 and his wife in the year 1853. They are both buried in a vault above ground on the farm on which they lived. It was the writer’s pleasure to visit his aunt Jane Jarrett in Kentucky in the year 1844 and fifty-two years later he again visited the old home of his aunt, but found but few faces that greeted him a half century before. Out of eleven cousins of the Jarrett family, but one, David W., as stated, remains. He occupies a portion of the farm owned by his father."
