John was a wagon maker and Rev. War Vertran. When the War for
Independence came, he was torn between the Quaker learnings and his duty
to home and country . The peaeful Quaker religion allowed no participation
in war for any reason. When the Jared home was thereatened John and
this two oldest sons, William and Joseph, marched away to defend it.
He also kept an account book, which he used in his family business, to
record his family history. There is one page in the account book
of John Jared that is devoted to transactions with his son, William.
It is interesting in that it establishes the Revolutionary War service
of both William and John and gives exact time of removal of the Jared family
from Loudoun to Bedford Co., VA. the entries read:
"In yr. 1781by work done by him (William) at home - I went to
camp"
In 1782 "By tending sawmills for me and Mr. Neilson"
"By guarding the prisoners at Winchester."
It was in 1782 when Cornwallis' Army was held prisoner in Virginia.

Notes for William Jared:
William was a Captain in the Revolutionary War. Although the
National Archives have no record of his service at this time. His
only existing war record comes from his father' journal. This record
has been established and approved by the DAR and his descendants my join
the patrotic organ. from the following number 428534.
West of the Wabash River at a place called Vincennes, George Rogers Clark held a fort against Indians and French traders. We do not know if our William Jared mingled in that company. There was a William Jared enrolled there. We do know our William could throw up a half-faced camp and survive zero weather. The tall timber that frightened many explorers was his friend. He survived the combination of woods and lurking Indians and dared to move a young family to middle Tennessee as early as 1796. He established a home when many not fitted for pioneering a new land got lost, or lost their reason. He had to be a hunter, warrior, horseman, farmer, carpenter, toolmaker, and blacksmith.
In 1792 William was again recorded among his family and friends in Bedford Co. VA. On Dec. 6, 1792 he married Elizabeth Raulston the 22 year old daughter of Matthew Raulston of Bedford Co. VA. William was 34 years old.

Notes for Joseph Jackson Jared:
Joseph was a Private in Feagin's Company, Russell's Virginia Regiment.
He received a Tennessee Land Grant for his Revolutionary War Service.
Joseph entered service as a volunteer October 12, 1779 in London Co., VA.
He entered the service at Lacy's Tavern, on Bulskin Creek, under Captain
Daniel Feagans, Lieutenant John Russell, Ensign Samuel Oliphant, Col. Russell,
Major Merriweather, and Major Dick?
Colonel Russell's regiment was immediately marched from Lacy's Tavern to Richmond, from which place it anticipated they would move on to Hillsborough, but upon their arrival at Richmond, they were ordered to move on to Portsmouth, which they did.
After being at Portsmouth for a few days, they were moved on to Cabbin Point, where they were stationed for a short time. At this place the regiment erected large tents of green pine trees with much regularity as to arrangement. The manner of arrangement was such as is commonly used in laying off a town, as the tents were built in rows with streets between them. The soldiers named this place Green Town, by which name it is still known.
From Green Town, they were marched to Petersburgh, VA., and remained there until the term for which they had volunteered had expired. At this place, the regiment was reviewed by General Stuben, after which the soldiers were discharged, but were told to be ready to report for service when called.
Joseph Jared enlisted again as a volunteer in 1781, at the same place
as before under Captain Elgin. The regiment was marched to Richmond,
thence to Glouster, near Little York, where it joined the main army under
the command of General Washington, and there engaged in the Battle of Little
York. Here the regiment remained until after the surrender of Cornwallis.
At the close of the war, Joseph was discharged from the army. After
he was discharged from his first service, and before he again enlisted,
he married Martha Agnes Beard at Bedford County, VA. The date of
this marriage being October 23, 1780

Joseph Jared emigrated from Virgina about 1810 and located his farm on the ridge at a point known as Low Gap.

She married Jonathan Lasley Ensor Abt. 1819, son of William Ensor and Martha Lasly.
Notes for Ruth Jared:
Jonathan was from Bristol, TN. He came down South after leaving
home as a young man. Sixteen miles down Walton Road, (now highway
70) at Low Gap, Ruth Jared lived in the home of her parents. There
was no school near, and little social life where young folks participated.
She wondered what her fate would be. One night she dreamed she saw
a young man riding a bay horse. He had beautiful, penetrating blue
eyea and was wearing a brown jean suit.
When Jonathan arrived in Middle Tennessee, he stopped for the night at the home of Jospeh Jared. A few days after her dream , when Jonathan knocked at the Jared door, Ruth recognized him immediately as the man in her dreams. It was love at first sight for both of them, and they were soon married.
Ruth's brothers had a sawmill in Sagamon, Ill. Five years after Jonathan and Ruth were married Johathan took his family there. On Dec. 23, 1826 Jonathan was killed from a fall from his horse. Ruth started back to Tennessee with her little children in a horse drawn wagon. One of the horses died, and she exchanged the other and the wagon for 2 oxen and a cart, and made her way back to the home of her father.
