Surnames: GARRISON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/mEY.2ACEB/1635.1 Message Board Post: I am interested in exchanging information with descendants of SHADRACK GARRISON. I believe that SHADRACK GARRISON also went by the name MARK GARRISON. Here is some of my research: Shadrach GARRISON posted the bond for the 1815 Barren Co. KY marriage of Benjamin GARRISON, son of RWS James + Ester (Roberts) GARRISON, to Susannah King. Under Shadrach's signature on the bond document, he wrote the words "his Oncle". Thus, it appears that Shadrack GARRISON may have been a brother of RWS James GARRISON. *******1810 U.S. CENSUS******* (note a Mark Garrison and RWS James Garrison are found in Warren Co. KY. Mark has 3 sons and 3 daughters and an older couple live in his household...probably his wife's parents. Shadrach had 3 sons and 3 daughters at the time of the 1810 U.S. CENSUS and on the 1820 U.S. CENSUS an older female lived in his home, probably his wife's mother...see below.) *******1820 U.S. CENSUS******* Home: Not Stated,Barren,Kentucky Household: Shadrach GARRISON = 26-45 age group ......wife = 26-45 age group ......unk female = 26-45 age group ......unk female = >45 age group ......daughter = 16-25 age group (Patsy) ......daughter = 10-15 age group (Matilda) ......daughter = 10-15 age group (Eleanor) ......son = 10-15 age group........(Thomas) ......daughter = 10-15 age group (Elizabeth) ......son = >10 age group..........(???) ......son = >10 age group..........(Caleb) ......daughter = >10 age group...(Mary) ......son = >10 age group..........(Samuel) *******1830 U.S. CENSUS******* Home: Not Stated,Barren,Kentucky Household: Shadrack GARRISON = 50-60 age group 1770-1780 ......wife = 50-60 age group 1770-1780 ......sonNlaw = 40-50 age group 1780-1790 [George Wilhelm b.Abt 1783 m.1826 Patsy] ......unk male = 20-30 age group 1800-1810 ......unk male = 20-30 age group 1800-1810 ......daughter= 20-30 age group 1800-1810 [Patsy] ......son= 15-20 age group 1810-1815 [Caleb] ......son= 10-15 age group 1815-1820 [Samuel] ......daughter= 10-15 age group 1815-1820 [Mary] ......granddaughter= under 5 age group 1820-1825 After 1830, SHADRACK GARRISON moved to Indiana.
