His outline: Martin G. Garrison b: Abt. 1787 New York d: April 16, 1870 Sodus, Wayne County, New York Burial: Sodus Rural Cemetery, Sodus, Wayne County, New York married Dorothy b: 1784 New York d: Bef. 1880 daughter Julia Ann Garrison b: February 23, 1816 d: January 19, 1846 Sodus, Wayne County, New York Burial: Kitchen Burial Ground, Sodus, Wayne County, New York married Thomas Austin daughter Cornelia Garrison b: 1824 d: April 11, 1887 Cascade County, Montana Burial: Chestnut Valley Cemetery, Cascade County, Montana after Julia died Cornelia also married the same Thomas Austin Trying the census records prior to 1850, they are only listed by the head of the households name--how do you figure which is the "right" one! Anyone have any ideas on where else I could try for more searching???????
