    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/7aB.2ACEAE/2344.1 Message Board Post: Eliza Muloso, the wife of Alexander C. Garrow, was my great-great-grandmother. She was born on January 12, 1805 in Canada. She is buried in Saint Patrick cemetery (Lebanon Township, Wisconsin) next to Alexander C. Garrow, my great-great-grandfather. Alexander was also born in Canada. His date of birth is June 15, 1794. Alexander and his wife, Eliza left Ontario after the collapse of the Rebellion of 1837. They lived in Michigan for a few year where Alexander and Eliza had a son, whom they named Alexander. Alexander C. Garrow died in 1870. In 1850 Alexander and his wife received a patent for land in Mukwa, a township near New London, Wisconsin. That land on the Little Wolf River is still owned by relatives who are the decendants of Alexander and Eliza's son, (my great-grandfather). Alxander and Eliza's son, born in Michigan in 1843, was my great-grandfather. He married Elizabeth Fleece. This Alexander was a steamboat Captain on the Little Wolf River and a veteran of the Civil War. This Alexander Garrow died in 1898 and his buried next to his wife in Saint Patrick Cemetery, in the same cemetery where his parents are buried. (The place is full of my early relatives). The name Alexander has been used in every generation of the family since the Garrows left Canada in 1837. There was also a branch of the family in Eureka, Wisconsin. One Captain Garrow there is alluded to in an article in the Milwaukee Sentinel in 1876. He had his horse stolen a trip there. The thief was subsequently caught and Captain Garrow got his horse back. There are also Garrows in Kaukana who are the decendants of Eliza and Alexander C. Garrow.
