Daniel, I ran the obit in one of my newspaper columns in the late 70s and gave it to Don and I think he used it in his book, but I am hunting the typed copy so I can scan and not retype.Briefly, Miles Garrett died 25 Feb 1896 in Hopkens Co. TX. born 1806, nearly 90. Born SC. moved to Forsyth in 1856. went to Texas in 1878. married twice. 14 children, 7 prededed him in death (no names). That is all it says of a genealogical nature. The rest is about character , his politics, etc. >From me: He was on the 1850 Greenville Co SC census with Jane, on the 1860 census Forsyth with Margaret M.. Apparently the son of Nicholas Ware Garrett and Sarah (Bramblett by tradition). Nicholas Ware Garrett line appears in a book by Corine Putnam Mehringer of Chicago Illinois 1958. I borrowed Irene's copy of the book back then and returned it. They still mention it on the Garrett Genforum page. Will work on it Donna
