Anyway, yes all the Garrisons I know of are from Oklahoma, but I believe William Morgan Garrison originally came for Missouri and he had brothers and sisters. The date 1903-04 is not possible to be directly related to William Morgan Garrison. Yes there was Native American, but I have not found documentation YET. WM Garrison married Emmaline Kinley about 1880 in Cleburne, AK. They moved to Indian Territory and got 160 acres as she was part Indian. My mom was Lizzie Garrison bFeb 9, 1906 on the property in OK. My mom claimed she was Cherokee, but she said during the period she and her brothers and sisters were growing up, being Indian was not a good thing. They lived in LaFLore or Haskel Co OK. But, BIG BUT, William Morgan Garrison was about 20 years older than Emmaline when they married in 1880. My mom said he was married in MO, came home found his wife with another man and shot them both dead. Almost my mom exact ! words. I believe he had a whole different family in the 1860-70 in MO, but I have no documentation YET. He had the reputation as a "Wild Irishman" and my mom said he would go the hell before he would go to MO. Anyway I have been searching for information WM Garrison and have come up with next to nothing. WM Garrison was my grandfather and I have pictures of him.Good luck in
