GA)...they had to separate those many other Calebs from ours by careful comparison of dates, locations, etc. One of the other Caleb Garrisons had a son, James Chesley. That Caleb moved into Tennessee and then to Drew Co.,Arkansas. Maybe looking into Caleb Garrison records relating to those areas might hit paydirt for you. Sorry, but that's all the help I can be. Good luck with your research....according to Quillian and John Ross...there were Caleb Garrisons aplenty, so sifting through might not be so simple.
