October 1712, Pennsylvania

October 19, 1712- John Jarrett and Mary Lucken are married in Horsham Township, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.
Mary was a daughter of Jan Lucken, the immigrant, of Germantown. John Jarrett was the first of his family in Horsham township.He probably was not, as tradition has reputed him, from Scotland, (" from the Highlands," one form of it says), but perhaps a son of one of the German or Holland company who settled at Germantown. Old records show his name spelled Jerrett, and this was no doubt a variation of Gerrett.
Jacob Gerrett, or Gerrets, was in Germantown in 1703, and in the Horsham assessment of 1734 John Jarrett's name is spelled John Garret. (He is assessed for 200 acres of land.)
