Event

Samuel Carpenter, in 1702, obtained from William Penn five thousand and eight acres of land, for one English silver shilling for every one hundred acres, which he disposed of to different parties of the early settlers, and in 1709 that now known as the "Jarrett homestead farm," with a part of the land owned by George W. Jarrett, was conveyed to John Lukens, supposed to be the father of Mary Lukens, who married John Jarrett, into whose possession the farm came in 1726, who was the first of the Jarrett family to settle in the then new county.

Event

From an old English Bible in possession of the family, -printed in 1715, which John Jarrett, in 1751, presented to his son John "and the heirs of his body forever and ever," it is learned that the name was in those days spelled Jerrett, and that he and his wife, Mary, emigrated from Scotland and were members of the Society of Friends.
