TRANSCRIPT
WILLIAM JARRATT/JARED, REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIER
William Jarratt/Jared was a Revolutionary War soldier of Loudoun Co., Virginia and a Tennessee pioneer
that settled in Tennessee prior to statehood, June 1, 1796. He was born 3 June 1758 in Kingwood, New
Jersey, probably at the Old Quaker Colony of Hunterdon, Co. where his maternal grandparents John &
Naomi Hulme Whitacre lived. He was the son of John Jared and Hannah Whitacre. John Jared had a
wagonmaking business in Loudoun Co., Virginia, in the very northern tip of the state where Maryland is
pierced almost to the Pennsylvania line. When William was just a boy his mother died on the 8th of
November 1765 and his father was left with three children to raise on his own, William, Joseph and Naomi
Jared. His father remarried a young 18 year old girl named Rachel Palmer on 23 August 1767.
John, William and Joseph are listed in the Loudoun Co., Virginia tithables for both 1778 & 1779 proving
their residence during the Revolutionary War. The backwoods people of Virginia were fiercely patriotic to
the cause of freedom and independent government. When the war for independence came in William’s
young manhood, he was torn between the Quaker leanings of his mother’s family and his duty to the home
and county he had helped his father wrest from rugged nature. The peaceful Quaker religion allowed no
participation in war for any reason. Now the Jared home was threatened and John and his two oldest sons,
William and Joseph, marched away to defend it. John Jared kept an account book and there is one page in
the book devoted to transactions with his son, William. The entries read: “In yr. 1781 by work done by him
(William) at home – I went to camp.” and In 1782, “By guarding the prisoners at Winchester.” In the book
Historical Register of Virginians in the Revolution, 17751783 by John H. Gwathmey, on page 414 there is
a soldier listed as, William Jarret, Loudoun Militia, listed as the same in the book List of the Revolutionary
Soldiers of Virginia by H. J. Eckenrode, Archivist, page 239.
William Jared married Anne Elizabeth “Besty” Roulston/Raulston on 2 December 1792, in Jefferson Co.,
Tennessee (prior to statehood). She was born 6 January 1770, Bedford Co., VA, the daughter of
Revolutionary War patriot Matthew Raulston (17421800) & Martha Moore (17441806). William and his
bride settled on property located near Buffalo Valley in Jackson Co., (now 11th Dist., Putnam Co.)
Tennessee. They raised nine children, Moses, Martha, Naomi, Joseph, Ruth, William, Samuel, John and
Matthew Jared. William Jared died on 22 September 1827 at his homestead. His wife Anne Elizabeth died
18 June 1835 at the same residence and they are both buried in the William Jared cemetery, resting in a
quiet country setting where the sounds of Indian Creek, rustling leaves and singing birds are found.

On the 20th of October 2007 a dedication was held at the William Jared Cemetery after a full cleanup,
repaired tombstones and a fence was installed. The community worked together on the project, funds,
planning and the physical labor of love brought a positive result. Special attention to the cleanup work
was performed by Robert Shanks, Ted Huddleston and his sons, Donnie & Gary. A historical entrance sign
that had been commissioned by Audrey June (Denny) Lambert & Jean Allen Hudson was unveiled by Jean
as an appropriate talk was given by Audrey. The sign is cast aluminum, doubled sided with the names and
dates of the people known buried in the cemetery on one side and William Jarratt/Jared’s dates and
Revolutionary service shown on the other side with the official NSDAR insignia. The sign was made by
Sewah Studios of Marietta, OH and was installed by Michael Henry Lambert and Ted Huddleston.
A large audience of over 100 people attended this event on the farm of Robert Anderson Shanks. Seventy
one years had gone by since a crowd of descendants gathered to pay tribute to their ancestors buried in this
cemetery that includes the families of the Jareds, Dennys, Byrnes, Edmonds and others that have not been
identified. Over 44 field stones and pieces of broken markers were found marking at least up to 60 more
graves. The last time a gathering was held at this cemetery was in May of 1936 when descendants of John
(1737aft.1804), William & Joseph Jared (17601848) honored the memory of their ancestors of the
Revolutionary War and gave tribute to William & Joseph Jared who were prominent pioneer residents of
what is now Putnam County. Members of several NSDAR chapters and descendants of William Jared

Forever to bloom in the Master's bouquet”.
It is the hope of the community and the descendants of William Jared that this cemetery is preserved for the
future generations.

But death can only conquer the flesh, the soulbelongeth to our father, who gave it.
Just a few weeks ago, death claimed as a victim, Mrs. Hettie Paul Denny, the sainted mother of Minnie M.and Virgil T. Denny, their father having preceded their mother to rest some twenty three years. This motherreared her children in a Christian home, faithfully serving her Lord and Master. She was a member of theMethodist Church, and a living example to the entire community. These are not idle words of tribute butcome from one who loved her as a friend and neighbor. The entire neighborhood loved and honored “AuntHettie” as she was affectionately called by most everyone, and we have yet to hear it said that she had evenone enemy in all the world. She was indeed a blessing to this community.(Note: Elizabeth Hettie Paul, d/o Thomas Gladney Paul & Sarah “Sally” Ervin.She married Timothy Denny, s/o Zachariah Denny & Catherine Stallings).

The many relatives and friends of Jonathan Denny will sincerely regret to learn of his death, whichoccurred at his home in the eleventh District of Putnam County last Thursday. He was taken sick withpneumonia the preceeding Sunday. We learn that he was perfectly conscious until the last, and died happyin the love of his Lord and Savior and the full assurance of the immortality of the Soul and his peace withthe Heavenly Father.
Mr. Denny was born in North Carolina and was brought to this county when quite young being oneof the pioneers who were deprived even of an ordinary education, being about eightyone years old atthe time of his death.
He was a quiet, unpretentious farmer and never sought or desired public attention, but contented himselfwith the walks of rural life or “life on the farm.” He was always a moral, sober gentlemen of the old typenow fast fading out of view, a friend of law and order, with all his neighbors as devoted friends who willcherish his memory and uphold his good name. He was the father of a large and interesting family ofchildren among whom are Judge T. L. Denny and Silas Denny, prominent and well known citizens ofthis city. In common with his numerous friends, the PRESS joins in expression of regret and genuinesorrow.
