Lt. Col. John Jarboe ²

   Other names for John were Jean Gerbaut, Jarbeaux and Jarbo.

  General Notes:

From: http://www.geocities.com/jeanjarboe58/Jarboe/jarboe.htm

"John Jarboe was born in 1619 in Dijon, France. He came to the colony of York, Virginia about 1640. During the Claiborne and Ingles rebellion of 1645 and 46 in Maryland. Against Lord Baltimore, Leonard Calvert went to York, Virginia to seek refuge and amass a force to regain his power in Maryland.

He enlisted several men, too which were Col. William Evans and John Jarboe, who was with him in York and Kicotan, VA. (Kicotan is now Elizabeth City). John immigrated to Maryland as a part of the militia. With a promise of 100 acres of land for his services. (Being French in a British Crown Colony, he was considered an alien and not allowed to own land by law). There are several documented court appearances by John, trying to gain title to the promised 100 acres of land.

John settled down near Newton, which is not far from present day Leonardtown in St Mary's Co, Maryland. By December 1646 he was a member of the upper house, at St Inegoes Fort. He was attesting to instructions of the Burgesses. He took an " Oath of Fealty " to Lord , Proprietary of Maryland in 1648. About 1648 he married Mary Tattershall. Daughter of William Tattershall. her mothers name has not been found. Their wedding was in St Mary's Co, Maryland. Both were Catholics.

In 1648 John received a patient for his 100 acres of land. And in 1649, him and William Evans demanded 200 acres of additional land promised to them by Walter Pake. They were given by Leonard Calvert Esq. a plantation in Isle of Kent . Belonging to John Abbott who was a member of the rebellion of 1646. John Pile also sold his land and holdings to John Jarboe. Later John petitioned the court for an additional 200 acres of land on behalf of Bertram Obert. Bertram was an indentured servant brought over from England by John Jarboe.

It appears that John was amassing quite an estate. He eventually ended up with over 1500 acres of land. Several slaves and indentured servants. He owned a mill, was a soldier and politician, High Sheriff of St Mary's Co and plantation owner. He attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and was allowed to treaty with the Indians. There are numerous items on microfilm in Maryland State Archives pertaining to Lt Col John Jarboe.

He has been referred to as " An old Warrior " and a " Scoundrel ". Personally, I wonder why an French man would come to a British Crown Colony ? Maybe he was in running? Or in search of religious freedom? To my knowledge he was the only Jarboe to migrate to the America's. There is a Jarboe who went to Australia, but that was a lot later, around 1800 and he went from England."

Have seen it listed that he immigrated in 1648 & was transported by John Pile

John Jarboe, a Catholic, was born in 1619 in Dijon, France, and in 1642,
he emigrated to York (later Elizabethtown), Virginia. There is
documentation that he arrived in Virginia under the name of John Parkes.
During the "Claiborne and Ingles Rebellion" in 1645-1646 against Lord
Baltimore, Leonard Calvert took refuge in York, Virginia. While in York
he met and enlisted several men to help him regain his power in
Maryland. Two of the men he enlisted were Colonel William Evans and John
Jarboe. John Jarboe was among a group of plantation owners in 1648 who
took the "Oath of Fidelity" to Lord Baltimore. (Patents 1:205). On
12/1/1648 William Evans and John Jarboe received a Patent for 100 acres
each for transporting themselves into the province in 1646 as part of the
Maryland Militia. (Patents 2:440) On that same day a warrant was issued
and they received the 100 acres each on the west side of "Bretton's Bay
in St. Mary's County. This area became a village called "Newton". He
was 27 years old when he immigrated to Maryland. In the earliest
records of Maryland, his name is spelled "Jarbo". In a deposition
given at Newtown on 6/21/1659, John Jarboe gave his age as 40 (Provincial
Court S:312). In 1653 he witnessed the will of Henry Fox. In 16__,
William Tattershall appointed "my brother Lt. Col John Jarboe" as one of
the overseers of his estate (1:391).
July 15, 1658, John Jarboe in command of all forces from Poplar Hill to
Wicomico River.
Naturalization Record July 30, 1661, John is granted leave to inhabit as
a free denizen of Province of MD. (Believed to be the first petition for
naturalization in British America)
April 22, 1667, made High Sheriff of St. Mary's Co. for one year.
John made a written will in 1671 naming just two children, John and
Mary. In 1674, when he was again ill, and just before his death, he made
an oral will including two sons born since. After her husband's death,
Mary married Stephen Gough. Rent rolls show the children living with
their mother and step-father on the home farm called "Jarboe". None of
the children were of age.
John Jarboe bought and sold many pieces of land before his death. His
land at his death:
St. Lawrence 300 acres
St. Peter's Hills 500 acres
Jarboe's 150 acres
Marsh's Hope 150 acres.

Note: Will of Lt.-Col. JOHN JARBOE, drawn 2nd of Sept., 1671, is also
recorded, the bequests being virtually the same as in the above, save
that the 2 younger sons, Henry and Peter, were born later.
There is an account of a quote from a book called YESTERDAY IN ST MARY'S
COUNTY by Fred Pughe that said that John Jarboe went on a particular
mission to Virginia for the Calverts, and that he was never picked up by
the boat that was supposed to come and get him. He said that he walked
all the way back home, which would mean he would have had to walk all the
way around the Potomac River. John Jarboe reportedly said that he wore
out "six payre of shooes" and that it cost hime 300 pounds of tabacco.
The Book TIDEWATER MARYLAND by Paul Wilstach c. 1931, 1945, tells the
circumstances of that quote.

John Jarboe made a will in writing in 1671 naming his children John & Mary as heirs. Sick again in 1674, and fearing hew would not recover he made an oral will to his friend John Jourdain. that would include two sons born since the ordinal will was written. His estate was settled by the Assembly who validated the non-cupative will after Earing the first will. Textamentary proceedings prove that Mary married Stephen Gough and the rent rolls show that the children were living with Mary and their step-father on Jarboes, John Jarboe's dwelling plantation, none of them yet being of age.

John immigrated from France to Virginia. Leonard Calvert, Govenorof Maryland, made an expedition to Virginia to obtain arms and menwith which to defend his colony against two Virginian fishermen whowere terrorizing the settlers. John
Jarboe and William Evans responded, and for their service to the colony,were granted 200 acres of land. John moved to Maryland in
1646. He remained in St. Mary's Co., MD. for many years. He wasin charge of the militia for his section and was involved in securingthe land against Indian raids. He steadily rose in rank, aquiredmore land, transported indentured
servants, and became quite well off. As only citizens of Great Britaincould hold land, some of his early patents are under names of friends,
but he was repeatedly "naturalized" by the Assembly, and in 1658,was declared a free denizen of Maryland with the full right to purchaseand sell land, as if he had been born there. He owned a home called Long Lane Farmstead. John rose to the rank of Justice of the Peace, and later became High Sheriff of St. Mary's County, a position of considerable importance.

Calvert issued Clipping to William Evans, Jarboe was basically as a co-owner.

1648 John Jarboe - takes possession of 100 acres parcel of land known as Clipping.(Source: St. Mary’s County Maryland Rent Rolls) This parcel was Re-surveyed in 1680 into HoptonParkfor Daniel Langhorn.

Jarboe - it can be said, was the First Naturalize Citizen in the British Colonies.
Anyway,

Good luck finding a record on VA arrival or ship. A couple of
Professors @ William & Mary in Williamsburg were kind enough
to help us dig into this without success. No record of the Jarboe name
in colonial Virginia, just Maryland. Period. Yet, there is a record ....

1642 A John Parks appears in the Virginia colonies. (John Parks is a name sited in Maryland court records in the same contents as John Jarboe). (Archive of Maryland Vol. III p 401).

1644 A John Parks, was transported by Stephen Taylor to Virginiafrom England.
(Early VirginiaImmigrants, 1623-1666). This is unlikely not Jarboe For this Parks
was in Virginia after 1644.

Reference: The book pg 6: "Jarboe the Chronology" by James Randy Dunavan
available from Jeep71@att.net

Jean Gerbaut, was of a military sect, likely 3rd generation Swede re-located in Northern France.
It's obvious that Jarboe had military bearing and likely found his way to Southern England, perhaps under the alias of John Parks. With-in time, from England, he likely secured, by hire, or contract passage to Barbados (no record found in Barbados of the name Jarboe). From the Islands Jarboe, found himself in VA, and without much means. It is likely Williams & Jarboe provided services against the Indians, while in VA.
They key to find Jarboe's transport information my just lay with William Evans, of which no record
of entry found on him either.

For nowl, the record is - No transported record has been uncovered under the name Jarboe.
My pocket book was lighten considerably searching out Jarboe entry to VA.

Subject: [MDSTMARY] Back to John Jarboe again

Here's the story:

John JARBOE was born in 1619 in Dijon, France. He came to the colony of
York, Virginia about 1640. During the Claiborne and Ingles rebellion of 1645
and 46 in Maryland. Against Lord Baltimore, Leonard Calvert went to York,
Virginia to seek refuge and amass a force to regain his power in Maryland.

He enlisted several men, too which were Col. William Evans and John
JARBOE, who was with him in York and Kicotan, VA. ( Kicotan is now Elizabeth City
) . John immigrated to Maryland as apart of the militia. With an promise of
100 acres of land for his services. ( Being French in a British Crown
Colony, he was considered a alien and not allowed to own land by law) . There are
several documented court appearances by John, trying to gain title to the
promised 100 acres of land .

Here are the questions:
1) Where's the proof?
2) What ship did John Jarboe arrive on?

Here's a deed mentioning William Evans -- deceased.

Bacon, Nathaniel, Col. Publication 26 October 1666. Location: York
County. VIRGINIA
Description: 25 acres according to the ancient bounds. Escheat land.
Formerly granted to William Evans, decesed. Source: va Land Office Patents No. 6,
1666-1679 (pt.1 & 2 p.1-692), p. 6 (Reel 6).

The above cannot be the same William Evans who left a will in St. Mary's
County.

Help.


John married Mary M Tattershall before 1656 & they had 4 children. He immigrated to York later Elizabethtown VA & migrated to MD at the age of 27 in 1646 as part of the MD militia. John took the oath of fidelity to Lord Baltimore in 1648. On 30 July 1661, Lord Baltimore declared him a free citizen of Maryland with the same rights as if born in that province. On 22 March 1663, John was commissioned Justice of the Peace for St Marys Co & held office again in 1664, 1665, & 1666. On 24 April 1667, he was commissioner high sheriff of St Marys Co & was reappointed to that office in 1668. From 1671 to his death, John was delegate for St Marys Co to the Lower House of Assembly, having been in attendance in 1674. He was a Lieutenant Colonel.

--------------------------------------

Have seen death year listed as 1674

--------------------------------------

Received the following info on 17 Jan 2010 regarding burial place (via FindAGrave):

There is really no "cemetery office" but I could not locate the grave in St. Francis Xavier and the St. Mary's County Historical society guide to graves in the county listed no Jarboe burial as early as 1674. The caretaker of the cemetery, likewise, could not find a record of the grave. He knew of no identifiable grave earlier than the 18th century, but suggested that the grave may well be in the cemetery, but has long since lost any marker it might have had. If you find more information, I will be happy to make another attempt. Sorry!

John married Mary M Tattershall, daughter of William Tattershall and Ann Lewger, about 1648 in Saint Mary's County, Maryland. (Mary M Tattershall was born in 1630 in Wiltshire, England and died in 1677 in Saint Mary's County, Maryland.)
