As John Jarrett (Jr.) was recorded on the 1820 Cabarrus County, North Carolina Census and William Jarrett married Hannah Miller-Seavers on March 4, 1821 in County of Lawrence, Arkansas, it is believed that the Jarrett boys moved to Arkansas between the 1820 Census enumeration date of August 7, 1820 to March 4, 1821, William and Hannah’s marriage. Also, Anthony married Polly/Mary Ann Rogers on January 18, 1824
