1928 - Alderson High School - 1968
NATIONAL JARRETT REUNION PLANNED
Greenbrier Historical Society - May 2, 2016
James,
Jesse,
Owen
or
David
Jarrett
who
came
to
the
Greenbrier
Valley
of
(now)
West
Virginia
in
the
1770s
were
some
of
the
earliest
permanent
settlers.
While
Jesse,
Owen
and
David
are
thought
to
have
moved
on
in
a
few
years,
James
stayed
to
raise
a
large
family.
Some
claim
he
had
as
many
as
24
children.
Again,
many
left
the
Greenbrier
Valley
but
several
stayed
to
raise
their
own
families.
All
descendants
of
the
four
Jarrett
brothers
are
invited
to
a
reunion
of
Jarrett
descendants
on
Saturday,
June
4,
2016
at
the
James
Jarrett
House
(Fairhill) near Alderson, West Virginia.
Margaret
Hambrick,
a
Jarrett
descendant
and
owner
of
the
James
Jarrett
House,
said,
“We
are
expecting
a
large crowd. We have had attendance confirmations from as far away as Alaska and California.”
Planned
from
10-4
with
a
catered
lunch
at
noon,
visitors
will
have
the
opportunity
to
tour
the
James
Jarrett
House,
talk
with
many
relatives,
take
a
hay-ride,
and
learn
more
family
history.
