As part of Chipping Campden History Society's Campden House project, I am researching the life of Sir Baptist Hicks (1551-1629) and there were a number of law suits between him and members of the Jarrett family about his acquisition of the Manor of Campden. I am wondering if there is any link between the Badsey/Aldington Jarretts and the Campden Jarretts? My Jarretts were Augustine, Anthony and Richard and their father was possibly Christopher. I don't have much information about them - Augustine was a malster and Anthony and Richard were dyers, but also landholders. Anthony is sometimes described as 'gentleman'. I have no dates of birth, marriage or death, although there is a will for Richard, probate granted 7th Feb 1633; his children were Clemens (d), Judith, Mary, Perkins, Margaret, Augustine, Richard and Elizabeth. Augustine is not a very common name, and neither is Jarrett, so I just thought there might be some connection. Can you help?
