In 1837 she was married to James Sherwood. There were two children of that union, John W. and Louisa M.
In 1843 she was united in marriage with Garrett F. Jarrell in Franklin county, Indiana. To that marriage seven children were born: Louisa, Garrett, William, Walter, Henry, Amanda and Mary. Her children are all living except John W. and Louisa.
She, with her husband and family moved to Marshall county, Indiana, in September, 1859. Her husband died November 16, of the same year, and she lived a widow until her death.
