My 4g grandfather is James Garrison born in 1798( -)in VA. He married Maria Catherine Sullivan, in 1825 in Mason County, KY. In the 1830 census there is a James Garrison, Alexander Garrison, George Garrison, Samuel Garrison, and Elijah Garrison in Mason County, KY. I know that my James named his sons Elijah, Alexander, and George. I'm thinking that the other Garrisons in Mason Cty, Ky in 1830 were his brothers, my question is who are the parents of this group of Garrisons. All I have is that James came from VA and the thought is that his father may have been a James as well. But I have nothing to substantiate that. HELP!!
