Jarrard was the first-born son. In 1849 he accompanied his father to the gold hills of California and stayed there when his father returned home.
1860 finds him in Tuolumne working as a teamster and is with his brothers Mortimer and Robert. In 1867, voter registration indicates that he's a miner.
In April 1869, through his brother John's connections, he was appointed IRS Revenue Collector in San Francisco.
On 27 Oct 1869 he was seriously injured in an explosion at the Golden Gate Sugar Refinery on its first day of operation; Jarrard was a partner in or investor in that firm. He lingered for 42 days at his hotel, a leg amputated after 23 days. He died three months after his brother, John, succumbed to tuberculosis.
He was buried by Mount Moriah Lodge No 44, F & AM, at the Masonic Cemetery in San Francisco. The cemetery closed and all remains of 19,000 (or more) souls were removed to Woodlawn. The tombstones were used as fill on the approaches to the Golden Gate Bridge.
