I thought I had given this info to you & your Dad before but evidently not.According to the book "Jarrard Family" by Carl & Carolyn Jarrard, Thomas Simmons Jarrard b 10-20-1867, Mossy Creek GA.He was the son of Dr. Josiah Daniel Jarrard & Mary Salena Dorsey Jarrard & was the brother of my Wm. Newton Jarrard who married Ella Sadler (2nd marr).
Thos Simmons m 1888 in Thornton, TX (Limestone Co) to Margaret Eliz Vinson (b 1870 Thornton d 1916) then he marr Eliz Ward.Thos d 1951 & is buried in Mart, TX.Thos had 4 children, all by Margaret.They were Homer b 9-8-1890 GA & d young, Lola Estelle d young, Earl Dorsey & Thos Ivan b 1897 d 1970.My Wm Newton Jarrard is buried along with his 2 wives, Mary Lucy Folley Jarrard & Ella SadlerJarrard in Ferguson Cemetery, Oletha, TX.Thos Simmons & Wm Newton's father, Dr. Josiah Daniel Jarrard, is the son of Thos W. Jarrard & Sara Pitchford.That info is incorrect in this Jarrard book.I have more info, plus pics of Dr. Josiah & his wife, Mary Salena Dorsey Jarrard if you are interested.Also, pics of their tombstones in Mossy Creek, GA.I don't know why myWm Newton went to Limestone Co. from White Co GA but have a note from his daughter that says that he was rejected by a girl he had hoped to marry & left the state for TX.I guess that Thos Simmons followed him later. There was an earlier Jarrard in the county & apparently they were related but I haven't found the connection yet.If you find it, please let me know.I do know that some of the family were potters in White Co. & pottery was also made in Limestone Co.I don't see an H.D. in the book.Don't need a "rubbing" but thanks.Let me know if you need add'l Jarrard or Dorsey info.
