HI, Irene...I have a friend and cousin who is a cousin of yours through John. She and I spent hours a couple of months ago hunting information on David Garrison and Sarah Bourne..following all of their census information. David and Sarah had no sons. She said to give you the following information and while I can't remember without checking where Sarah was born, I do know that they did indeed have only one daughter. There was also a little boy in their household at one point who was blind and David was made guardian. I found documentation on that. He was not a Garrison. There were several other people in the household from time to time but there was never anyone who would be their son and they did have only the one daugher. This is what your cousin said to tell you: Sarah Bourne b. 1802, Grayson Co., VA; d. bet. 1850-1860 was married to David Garrison b. 1 Feb 1797, Grayson Co., VA; d. 25 Dec. 1887, Greyson Co., VA, s/o Isaac Garrison, Jr., s/o Isaac Garrison...Sarah Bourne and her husband, David Garrison only had one child, a daughter...Irene can go to the Greyson Co., VA website and document this herself. We have not found parents for John...for all I know he COULD be connected with my Garrisons..BUT I hasten to say that we have no evidence of that! It is just that we do not have names of any of my Edmund Garrison, son of Paul's, siblings. Perhaps Caleb, Shadrach, Benjamin....but only possibilities. So......there are some others somewhere...as in 1787 Paul had a whole passel of young folks in his household..and as I recall 4 sons in the 1790 Pendleton Co. count..and I suspect that there are a lot of other Garrisons who also have unknowns! But we'll keep at it and eventually maybe get everyone figured out, eh? Marti
