3. John Jarman
The earliest record found of John Jarman is as a payee in a 1696 accounting of the estate of John Sunderland in Calvert County, Maryland.[RESIDENCE] Other details of John Jarman's early life were mostly lost in the fire which destroyed the Calvert County courthouse, but Lord Baltimore's rent rolls reveal that John Jarman had interest in land called Bulling's Right, a 475 acre tract on the east side of the Patuxent River, bounded on the north by Abington Manor and on the east by lands patented by William Lowery (who was the original owner of Lowery's Resurvey which was owned in part in 1708 by Thomas German). John's name was not among the listed owners as of 1708, but in the smattering of transactions preserved in Lord Baltimore's rent roll, one of those owners, Edward Wood Jr., transferred 100 acres to Benjamin Wood on 18 August 1708, and the next day, Benjamin Wood with John Jarman "and uxor" transferred 100 arces of Bulling's Right to Charles Allen.[LAND] Why John and his wife were involved in this transaction is not recorded, but it did not mark the end of John's ownership of portions of this tract. In 1711, Roger Boyce, the leasee of John and Lavinia Jarman sued Jane Rye and Richard Blake in an ejectment cause. Richard Blake was another owner of a portion of Bulling's Right.[SPOUSE]
One clue to the identity of Lavinia Jarman may be John German's ownership in 1708 of 100 acres of a 250 acre tract called Poor Land situated on the Calvert County side of the Patuxent River; this land was originally surveyed for William Howe and was partially owned in 1708 by a man of that same name.[LAND] This is significant because William Howe (or Howes) was also the name of the step father of Lavinia Bagby.[RELATIONSHIP] Add to this land ownership the onomastic evidence found in the names of John and Lavinia's children, it is reasonable to conclude Bagby was Lavinia's maiden name.
No further record of John Jarman's dispostion of Poor Land is found. On 18 April 1729, John Jarman transferred 260 acres of Bulling's Right to Robert Jarman, and on 15 May 1732, John sold 135 acres of Bulling's Right to Benjamin Sedgwick.[LAND] Soon afterwards John Jarman and his family moved across the Chesapeak Bay to Queen Anne's County, Maryland.
In Queen Anne's County, on 17 August 1732, for 30 pounds sterling, John purchased from Robert and Mary Jarman (who had moved to Queen Ann's three years previously) 100 acres out of tracts called St. Martins and Branford on Tuckahoe Creek. Over the next four years, John Jarman acquired 81 acresof an adjacent parcel named The Inclosure.[DEEDS] Here he seems to have remained until he died intestate about 1756. Amos Jarman, the administrator of John Jarman's estate turned in an inventory, dated 20 May 1756, that gave the appraised value as 54:18:1 pounds; and signing as "next of kin" were Anne Emory and Ursley Sanders. How these women were related is unknown.[PROBATE]_____________

15. Lavinia Jarman
The his will (dated 20 November 1733, Queen Ann's Co., Maryland) Thomas Hollingsworth bequeathed a lifetime interest in his dwelling and plantation and names as his executrix his "friend" Levinia Fowler, widow and daughter of John Jarman and Levinia his wife.[PARENTS] Six years earlier, across the Chesapeake Bay in Calvert County, Lavinia Fowler was the administrix of John Fowler; sureties for her bond (dated 6 March 1726/7) were John Jerman and William Whittington.[SPOUSE] Thomas Hollingsworth's will was not produced for probate until 18 February 1741/2; in that interim, he and Lavinia were evidently married. In a deed dated 27 February 1741/2, Lavinia Hollingsworth, widow, who had renounced executorship of Thomas Hollingsworth will in favor of Elizabeth Hawkins, ceded her interest in this estate to Hawkins in exchange for her promise to build a 25 by 15 foot dwelling house plus a corn house on Lavinia's father's land and provide her with two cows and calves.[SPOUSE]
