    1. [GAFORSYT-L] Daniel Garrett (Old Salem)
    2. I will have to admit that I never heard of old Salem but churches have moved around. Does anyone with the Salem Church minutes remember anything about them moving the Church or opening another graveyard? Daniel Garrett's Will appears on the Forsyth county genweb page - <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/wills.htm">Wills</A> aka http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/wills.htm. It was signed 13 June 1869 and probated 6 May 1872 . TheForsyth page doesn't show the witnesses who were R. F. Douglas, B. F. Douglas, Phillip Johnson and James T. Douglass. Executors were Jno S. Garrett and "my friend" Hiram G. Henson. Charity was Daniel's 2nd wife that he married 12th Sep 1864. >From Irene's letters in the 1970's.: Daniel's children given by Grandpa, but I have added the dates as I found them. Hendrix born about 1813 md Louisa or Louvisa Foster in Forsyth Co 9/30/1841. John S. Garrett b. 14 Oct 1818 SC d. 16 Jun 1900 md Elizabeth Bennett. 11 Jan 1840 . Both buried at Salem. Satiriah Garrett called Aunt Tiery married Allen Powell 4/2/1842. She did not live long after her marriage, but the Mary Powell mentioned in Daniel's Will is her daughter. I think it was this same Allen Powell who married Easter Bennett 25 Jan 1847. They lived in Cherokee or Cobb Co. Jeptha M. Garrett md Susanah Stovall 21 Jan 1849. They are supposed to have moved to Tyler, Texas and died there. The 1850 census of Forsyth gave Jeptha living in the household of Mary Stovall, but did not have Susannah listed. A son they called Uncle Zayery never married, died in Stockton Calif . An uncle of mine said his name was Isaiah and they just called him Zayery. Mourning Evaline Garrett married Jasper Green and they moved to Arkansas. Daniel Newman Garrett. md Eliza A. Smith 6/20/1886. still Irene's letter---From the census, it looks like Daniel might have had one more daughter - had 2 girls und 10 in 1820 and in 1830 only one in this age group. Donna
