In a memoir written by his grandson, Rev. Devereux Jarratt, the Rev. speculated that his grandfather Jarratt was born in London, in Devereux county in Essex-Street, named for Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex. From that circumstance, or from being a soldier in the army of the Earl of Essex, the grandfather had named his first son Robert, his second son Devereux. His only daughter married Walter Clopton of New Kent.
