Jarrett was raised by his Uncle John T Addington. He moved to Texas when his uncle moved to Cass Co GA.
Jarrett arrived in Gainesville, Cooke County Texas, when it was just a stagecoach station. He became one of the largest landholders in Cooke and Grayson Counties. Land that was claimed to be part of a ranch was not always owned, but was used by the person strong enough to hold it. He and his sons lived the lives of "wealthy cattle barons."
Jarrett was known for his music and taught singing and conducted choirs. His choirs were said to be the very best known in Texas.
