Hello,
Below my name you will find a descendancy report of the above family. Please be aware
that some of the info may be inaccurate as I have not done a great deal of research on
this family. I have compiled this data from census records, marriage records, Rev. War
patriots buried in IN. and a cemetery book. The data is not complete thru all
generations.
I have been trying to find my Garrett ancestors for a number of years and have not had a
great deal of luck. All I know for sure is that my Great Grandparents are James Garrett
and Lizzie Carter. I have their marriage but have not been able to find James on any
census prior to 1900. He supposedly was born in Spencer Co, IN and his father supposedly
is James Garrett from IN. Some evidence I have points towards the possibility his mother
was a Kelly. I just recently found this William J / James W 3 (my James' father ??)
whom I believe is the James W Garrett who married Mary M. Kelly. I feel is a good
possibility for my family.
Does anyone have any more info on William J / James W Garret? Would love to hear from
anyone who has an interest in this family.
Thank you,
Pam
