Jarratt Lynch, son of William Lynch, was born June 6, 1781 in Brunswick County, Virginia. He travelled to Georgia with several of his brothers and other members of the family in the early 1800s. My cousin Bill Lynch believes that he moved to Georgia around 1811. He married Sarah Thomas on May 15, 1807. They lived for a time in Putnam County, Georgia, but eventually purchased land in Jasper County, Georgia in 1823 and were living there at the time of the 1830 census. Jarratt and Sarah had 10 children:
1.) Ephraim Lynch
2.)Mary Lynch
3.) Jarratt Grief Lynch
4.) Rinza Lynch
5.)Fleet Lynch
6.)Zaccheus Lynch
7.)Sackville Lynch
8.)Melvina Lynch
9.)Nancy Lynch
10.)Martha Lynch
In an 1850 census, Jarratt is listed as age 70 and his occupation is given as a carpenter. Also living with him is his wife Sarah (age 66), his son Grief (age 34) and his daughter Martha (age 22).
In an 1860 census we find Jarratt at age 80 with real estate valued at $2000 and personal property worth $8000.
A putnam County, Georgia 1815 tax record shows that Jarratt owned 56 acres in Captain Roper's district.
Jarrratt married a second time to Francis Brandon on December 28, 1862. He died June 26, 1864 in Monticello, Georgia.
