HENRY JARRETT was born 22 June 1772 near Macungie, Pa. No baptism record was found for this son. He married ANNA ELISABETH HEINLY on 30 March 1800 (DAR record). She was born 26 February 1782, a daughter of John & Elisabeth Heinly - baptized at the Lehigh Church near Macungie.
HENRY JARRETT was a colorful and somewhat controversial figure around the turn of the century during the FRIES REBELLION - which centered around the Federal "WINDOW TAX" and a man named FRIES. A number of FRIES' neighbors and Macungie area residents were involved in the affair. The TAX was enacted 9 July 1798 and the REBELLION began in the Fa of 1798 - continuing through 1799. U.S. soldiers were sent up from Philadelphia to quell the REBELLION and arrest the leaders. CAPTAIN "LIGHT HORSE" HENRY JARRETT (an officer in the local cavalry) was one of the key figures and was sentenced to two years in prison and fined $1000. History states that many of these sentences were alleviated, and there is no record that HENRY was one of the men eventually imprisoned in Philadelphia, several of whom died of yellow fever. FRIES himself was sentenced to death but eventually pardoned by PRESIDENT JOHN ADAMS. Readers interested in learning more about this interesting period in local history are directed to the account in LCH-l pages 166-211. Included in the account are details of the part CAPTAIN JARRETT played in obtaining the release of local prisoners housed in Bethlehem, and contents of a threatening letter sent to the CAPTAIN and his brother JOHN JARRETT.
In April 1798 (shortly before the REBELLION) HENRY JARRETT was sworn in as an elected Justice of the Peace for Macungie & Weisenberg Townships in Lehigh County. According to "BENCH & BAR" chapter in LCH-l "He was sheriff of Northampton County in 1812 when Lehigh was set off, and a few years later studied law with a Mr. Cook and a Mr. Kaulbock. He was admitted to practice as an attorney of Lehigh County 29 November 1824. He resi6ed during his early married life at Millerstown and Freemansburg, but after his admission to the bar removed to Allentown and lived on Water Street. In 1829 MR. JAPRETT became Clerk of the Courts of Lehigh County. His son PHAON was admitted to the bar of Lehigh County 4 September 1835".
HENRY JARRETT died 4 November 1830. His wife, ELISABETH, died 4 February 1852 - both are buried on the Old Allentown Cemetery. Five children were named in HENRY'S will probated 1831 at Lehigh County Court House.
