My ggf was Jason Carr GARRISON b. 1868 in Lebanon, MO. He was the son of
William Greene GARRISON b. 1832 in Crawford CO., MO. William was the son
of John GARRISON b. 1799/1800. John's wife was probably Ellen and there
may have been a brother, William. John is my "brick wall".
I was sent info by a fellow researcher (and also found in the Caleb
GARRISON & Sarah FLEMING book) about a son of Caleb's named James Caleb
GARRISON. James Caleb m. Katie MORGAN. They had a son, Patterson, who
married Frances CARR of Milledgeville, GA. Patterson & Frances had a son
named Thomas Jasper who had a son named James Carr GARRISON (prominent in
the NY newspaper world and Editor/Publisher of the Pelham News).
My John b. 1799 could have been a contemporary of either James Caleb or
Patterson.
Thomas Jasper and William Greene could have been contempories.
James Carr b. 1870 St. Paul, MN and my Jason Carr b. 1868 Lebanon, MO. were
contemporaries.
Is it possible our two disparate lines merge back with Frances?
Can anyone give me more info on the CARRs of Georgia? I don't have a
maiden name for John's wife, Ellen, but she was b. 1770. Could she have
been a CARR?
ANY help appreciated!
