| Notes |
- John married four times. All marriages were after the previous wife died, according to his son Emmanuel Jarvis of Wyandotte (19656) who gave this family history of John Albert Jarvis' branch.
John's first wife's name was unknown to Emmanuel. She died inchildbirth as did her child. His second wife was Margaret Odien by who he had nine children. His thrid wife was a ? Luzon and this fourth wife, distantly related to him through his paternal Aunt Fanny's husband John Mexicot/Massicot/ Mexico, was ? Mexicot.
John Jarvis as a result remained a catholic as none of his marriages ended in a divorce. He is buried in St. Francis Xavier Cemetery, in Ecorse, MI.
Margaret Odien had a son Alger Anteau by a previous marriage, who moved to California and was deceased as of 1965. She died in 1924 and is buried with John in St. Francis Xavier Cemetery, Ecorse, MI (High St. and Salotte).
In 1923, John Jarvis lived on Haltiner Street in River Rouge, MI. The property had an out door toilet. His daughter Angeline, age 4, strangled herself on the back fork of a convertible parked behind this outdoor toilet.
John is said to have had four wives by his brother Charles and that he had six children by his econd wife, five of whose names were Crystal, Kate (Mrs. Walter Hill), Marie, Joseph, and Manuel. He felt this wife may have been Spanish, but it is more likely that he has confused John's fourth wife's last name Massicot, or Mexico, as noted elsewhere, with a nationality.
John Jarvis, Sr. died of pneumonia. His son John died of a brain tumor.
Charles also stated that his brothers Will and John and their father Ralph helped clear Belle Isle (about 1894) with teams of horses. Will once caught a snake on the island and tied it to the basck of their wagon. Will also may have driven a team to cinder Grand Blvd. (Historical Note: prior to being called Belle Isle, the island was called from French times Ile aux Cochons, or Hog Island, because pigs were put on it to kill the snakes.)
Charles States that his brothers and sisters were born in a one room log cabin across from the brick house on Ready Road in Berlin Twp., Monroe Co., MI., built by his father in 1881. But Charles was born in the brick house.
Name:
- * Burial in Holy Cross Cemetery, 8850 Dix, Detroit, MI.
The following entries were taken from the Detroit Directory for John Albert Jarvis:

(No entries in the Detroit Phone Directory for John A. Jarvis for 1898-1902. His residence may have been Ecorse at this time and their City Directories should be consulted for this period. Presumably working for Saliotte and Ferguson at this time. Entries for the Detroit Directory commence again in 1903.)

1903
Jarvis, John A., carpenter, h 22 James Ave, River Rouge, 1904.
(No further entries after 1904, like his father. he may have moved with his father to work the Chilson Farm, near Pinckney, MI., since, according to his younger brother Charles Jarvis, John was instrumental in getting his father to trade city property for the farm. Land records in Detroit and Pinckney are should be research to confirm details.) For further details see his father's entry {Ralph Jarvis})
