Anna Jean, thank you for posting the info about your Garrett family. Since my Roberson/Robinson/Robertson family followed the same route as your Garretts, moving from Laurens Co., S.C. into Georgia, into Alabama, in the early 1800s, I suspect they may be connected to your Garretts in some way. I have tried to connect William H. Robinson, who married Martha Jane Garrett, to my Rob family. According to another researcher, William is buried in the Middleton Cemetery, Old Texas, Monroe Co., Al. Martha and William married in Lowndes on Jan. 30, 1850.
