My great-grandfather,David Wilkinson, left Monroe Co. AL about 1888. He lived in Louisiana until after his wife died then he moved a few miles across the Sabine River, to Melrose, TX. I would tell you the County but I can't remember how to spell Natchatoches --- ;-)) Some Garretts were mentioned in his obit in 1917. Grant Johnston, Chico, CA
