• Notes

  Jared was named for his mother's brother Jared Chapman, a physician in St. Joseph County, Indiana, and the spelling of his name was sometimes mangled in the records. In his father's 1870 household, he's listed as "Jerrold;" his marriage record lists him as "Jerrod." However it was spelled, he farmed all his life in his Wills Township birth place, marrying rather late for a Drollinger, at almost 31. He married Amanda Jarrell a year after his younger brother Erastus married her younger sister Mary Alice. Jared, as the oldest son of Gabriel still living in the county, administered his father's estate and when his mother died, he and his brother Quinby brokered the equitable settlement of the family squabbles that occurred after the reading of their mother's quirky will. All the heirs received an equal amount of cash and Jared and Quinby bought out their siblings' shares of the lands. Jared, and Quinby, too, was intimately familiar with the land, having farmed it for his father for some time. Jared's listing in the Mill Creek 1902 directory notes his 273 acres and assessed value of personal property $57. Amanda died 16 March 1923, four years before Jared, after an illness of a year. Their bachelor son Clarence, 39 years old, was still living at home in 1920 and was farming the home property which freed Jared to look after Amanda. An aura of mystery surrounds the family. After Jared died on 23 April 1927, it took his sons Clarence and Walter six months to apply for letters of administration. The estate was not closed until 1943 when Clarence and Walter, the only heirs, signed off. There was virtually no personal estate, but there were 5 parcels of land totaling nearly 254 acres with an appraised value of some $10,000. There is no indication in the probate file that there were problems that would cause the estate to take some 16 years to settle. Amanda and Jared were buried in in Sauktown Cemetery, LaPorte County, Indiana, as were their sons, Clarence in 1956, Walter in 1977.
