Notes:



marriage bond in Bourbon Co KY
buried in Canaan Cemetery, Jefferson Co IN

another researcher found his will:

Warfield.Jared (Book B) 1840. Heirs:William Cooke, son of Ann Cooke:Sarah Cooke and William Cooke, Catherine Harden, late Warfield, wife of Samuel J. Harden: J.W. Littlejohn and wife: Charles Schnitzer and wife: John, Delilah, Emily, James A. and Joseph Warfield.
(Book E-486) Settlement 1841. Same heirs, but gives J.W. Warfield and wife,Mary: Charles Schnitzer and wife Emeline.

Note: Schnitger is misspelled Schnitzer. Given the handwriting of the time, reading a "g" as a "z" would be an easy error for a transcriber to make, especially since "tzer" looks more like a name ending than "tger".

Jared is on the DAR list of 1941.
--
The book "Warfields of Maryland" does not mention this Jared. It does have a Jarrad, son of Samuel Warfield and Sarah Welsh, who are g-grandparents of the John Warfield also buried in Canaan cemetery. That Jarrad could be the father of this Jared. Unfortunately, all the book says is that Jarrad moved to Redstone PA.
Redstone is an area in the western part of Fayette Co PA, near Brownsville.

Another researcher sends:
Joshua Warfield, author of "Warfields of Maryland", published another book titled "The Founders of Anne Arundel and Howard Counties, Maryland" with more information. The Jarrad above was actually William 'Gerald' Warfield. He married Susannah Ryan (d/o John), and lived in Augusta Co VA.
--
This same researcher also sends that the John Warfield who is buried in Canaan cemetery (see notes for Emeline) was born in MD and married in Henry Co KY. Could John have stopped in VA on his way to KY, and Jared have joined him?
