Barbara; I have a great great grandfather named Ephraim Garrison, b. 1799 in NY. His family lived in Ohio before coming West into Oregon and Washington. I have come across a Lydia Garrison, but have never tied the pieces together. Ephraim's father's name was Jason. He died in 1855. Not sure, but could be Richland Cty or Knox Cty, Ohio. A brother was also Jason. Ephraim's sister Elizabeth C. was possibly born in Huron and died in Madison, Ohio. I understand there were more brothers and sisters, but I have not found their names or how many. Ephraim married a Nancy Modie. Let me know if any of this helps or leads you somewhere. Carlene
