A few years before Grandpa died he wasn't too sure about who Daniel's father was but he knew there was a Miles in there close someway. One of my Aunts says Miles was Daniel's father, and so did this gr. dau. of Hendrix. >From my records, Daniel was born in 1794(in the 1850 census he gives his age as 56. In the 1860 census, 68. In the 1870 census, 76). The Miles Garrett born in 1806 might be a brother, or cousin. Certainly not the Miles that Irene referred to. Incidently, the "old" Salem Church probably started with me. I mistakenly thought that Daniel Garrett had referred to it in that manner in his Will. What he did refer to was the "Salem church". Sorry if I caused any confusion. Thanks for all your help.
