Jarett and submitted to the Barber Co. Kansas Index news paper in the 1950's or 1960's--Info. added Lloyd Williams Thomas Jarrett Thomas Jarrett was our great-grandfather; his mother was a Cherokee Indian. Family tradition says he was raised by missionaries in Georgia. He married Margaret Manus in 1850 and their son was named Thomas Lafayette. He grew to manhood and chose for his life-ling partner, Nancy Rebecca Brown. Nancy was also born and raised in northern Georgia; she remembered when she was a little girl, hearing the guns and cannons of a nearby battle during the Civil War. The children of Tom and Nancy were Martha, Charles, Mary, Thomas L. Jr., Herschel, and Sterling, Nancy's son by a previous marriage. In 1888, when young Tom Jr., was six years old, the family left Georgia for a "new life". Traveling by wagon train they went to Trinidad, Colorado, where Tom Sr., worked in the mines and where Herschel was born. By 1890 the family had moved to Medicine Lodge. Nancy and Tom St., became active members in the Salvation Army and friends of Carry Nation. Their home was at 211 North Market, it being one of the houses that Tom had built in this town. In 1893 Sterling, now 20, married Mary Williams and made the "Run" on the Cherokee Strip. they settled on the land he claimed near Byron, Oklahoma. Martha first married Charles Williams and later George Cloutman. Charles Jarrett, a veteran of the Spanish American War, married Matilda Williams. Mary married John Cullison. Herschel graduated from Medicine Lodge High School, class of 1905, but died of pneumonia just before graduating from college at the age of 20. Thomas L. Jarrett Jr., for reasons of his own, dropped an "R" from his name. As a young man, he drove a trail herd from Mexico to Medicine Lodge. In 1907 he married 16 year old Maude Matilda (Minnie) - the youngest daughter of Henry Krause, proprietor of the Cottage Hotel in Alva, Oklahoma. Tom and Minnie's children were Augusta, Steven (named after Judge S.P. Garrison of Medicine Lodge), Doris, and Ellen Hope. The children and their cousins made their own amusements with a play-house among the Catalpa grove near their homes at the west end of town. They made playthings out of jar lids and thrown away dishes and used their imaginations. Tragedy came early to them; their grandfather Tom L. Sr., died Sept. 1918, then one month later their mother died suddenly of the Spanish "Flu"; she was 27 years old. Their grandmother, Nancy Rebecca joined their household to take care of them. Two years passed; Tom married Rachel Lovell and had one child, Kenneth. During World War II; Steve P. Jarett served in the Army Air Force; his sisters and their husbands migrated out to California, to work in the defense plants. In 1947 Steve married an English girl, Marguerite Spiers, known as "Jackie". They met in Algiers, North Africa. Jackie was a member of the British Royal Air Force. They have two sons Stefan and Keith. Source: Chosen Land - Barber County, Kansas, pg. 251 Submitted by: Steve P. Jarett Info. reformatted and added by Lloyd Williams Cousin Concerning their last name change my thought, maybe when they wrote their name in cursive the two R's may have looked like an M, making their name look like Jamett instead of Jarrett--added by Lloyd Williams Cousin to Steve
