2. Martha Agnes2 Beard (Margaret M.1 Young) was born 1762 in Bedford Co., VA. She married Joseph Jackson Jared October 23, 1780 in Lasie Town, Bedford Co., Va, son of John Jared and Hannah Whitacre.

Notes for Joseph Jackson Jared:
Joseph was a Private in Feagin's Company, Russell's Virginia Regiment. He received a Tennessee Land Grant for his Revolutionary War Service. Joseph entered service as a volunteer October 12, 1779 in London Co., VA. He entered the service at Lacy's Tavern, on Bulskin Creek, under Captain Daniel Feagans, Lieutenant John Russell, Ensign Samuel Oliphant, Col. Russell, Major Merriweather, and Major Dick?

Colonel Russell's regiment was immediately marched from Lacy's Tavern to Richmond, from which place it anticipated they would move on to Hillsborough, but upon their arrival at Richmond, they were ordered to move on to Portsmouth, which they did.

After being at Portsmouth for a few days, they were moved on to Cabbin Point, where they were stationed for a short time. At this place the regiment erected large tents of green pine trees with much regularity as to arrangement. The manner of arrangement was such as is commonly used in laying off a town, as the tents were built in rows with streets between them. The soldiers named this place Green Town, by which name it is still known.

From Green Town, they were marched to Petersburgh, VA., and remained there until the term for which they had volunteered had expired. At this place, the regiment was reviewed by General Stuben, after which the soldiers were discharged, but were told to be ready to report for service when called.

Joseph Jared enlisted again as a volunteer in 1781, at the same place as before under Captain Elgin. The regiment was marched to Richmond, thence to Glouster, near Little York, where it joined the main army under the command of General Washington, and there engaged in the Battle of Little York. Here the regiment remained until after the surrender of Cornwallis. At the close of the war, Joseph was discharged from the army. After he was discharged from his first service, and before he again enlisted, he married Martha Agnes Beard at Bedford County, VA. The date of this marriage being October 23, 1780

Joseph Jared emigrated from Virgina about 1810 and located his farm on the ridge at a point known as Low Gap.

9. Ruth3 Jared (Martha Agnes2 Beard, Margaret M.1 Young) was born May 08, 1802 in Bedford Co., VA (Source: Eleanor McAllister Hall, Book of Jared.), and died March 20, 1862 in Ensor Valley, Putnam Co., TN. She married Jonathan Lasley Ensor Abt. 1819, son of William Ensor and Martha Lasly.

Notes for Ruth Jared:
Jonathan was from Bristol, TN. He came down South after leaving home as a young man. Sixteen miles down Walton Road, (now highway 70) at Low Gap, Ruth Jared lived in the home of her parents. There was no school near, and little social life where young folks participated. She wondered what her fate would be. One night she dreamed she saw a young man riding a bay horse. He had beautiful, penetrating blue eyea and was wearing a brown jean suit.

When Jonathan arrived in Middle Tennessee, he stopped for the night at the home of Jospeh Jared. A few days after her dream , when Jonathan knocked at the Jared door, Ruth recognized him immediately as the man in her dreams. It was love at first sight for both of them, and they were soon married.

Ruth's brothers had a sawmill in Sagamon, Ill. Five years after Jonathan and Ruth were married Johathan took his family there. On Dec. 23, 1826 Jonathan was killed from a fall from his horse. Ruth started back to Tennessee with her little children in a horse drawn wagon. One of the horses died, and she exchanged the other and the wagon for 2 oxen and a cart, and made her way back to the home of her father.
