If you go to the Bureau of Land Management site which you should be able to do by clicking on this, Bureau of Land Management - Eastern States Home
you will find an early deed for Robeson.
My ancestor is Andrew JARRETT (gggrandfather) I believe that all of these early JARRETTS who came to Hancock co. were related. (Neri, Robeson, Andrew, and Owen) They all seem to have come from Kanawha co. WVA. If you are connected to any other JARRETTS in Madison or Hancock co, I would love any information that you may have. I can share more information on other Jarretts in the area if you are interested. Barbara
