Garrison and Mariah Johnson. With the wonderful work and help of Phyllis Miller, I now know his ancestors back to Gerrit Jansen van Oldenburg. Need help with some brick walls going forward. Here's what I know: Lewis A. Garrison b.abt 1820 in IN d.abt 1862 in Jersey Co., IL.

Mariah must died abt 1867-1868 because then I find Isaac Hamilton married Rebecka Pasmore 20 Feb 1868 in Calhoun Co., IL. Tracking the children of Lewis Garrison and Maria Johnson: MARY MARTHA GARRISON - my ggg grandmother (see previous message) ENOCH J.

Can't find any of them after that. SERENA J. GARRISON b.abt 1845, her name is found several different ways but I believe J. is for Jane. Lerena J.

Can't find any of these people after 1880. SARAH E. GARRISON b.abt 1854. 1870 can't find her, 1880 she shows up living with her sister Serena Jane Beaver in Peoria. Can't find her after this. LEWIS C. GARRISON b.abt 1856. Can't find anything on him. If his mother did die in 1867 or 1868 did he go live with his Uncle Enoch Garrison in Pike Co.? LLOYD M. GARRISON b.abt 1860. Can't find in 1870 or 1880 census. Is this the Lloyd M. Garrison that married Vallona J. (Ewing) Logan in McLean Co., IL in 05 Feb 1880? She marries again 06 Aug 1892 to G. Watson Bone in Brown Co.,IL. Does any of the above info sound familiar to anyone?? I really appreciate any leads or bits of info that can be provided. Thanks.
