It says the Garrison family came from VA to Mason Co., KY. From Mason Co. records - George Garrison, Sr. "was evidently" James Garrison's father. James was m to Maria (Mary) Sullivan on 1 Feb 1825. The maiden name of Mary's mother was Beverly Taliaferro. James & Mary had: Susan, Ann, Mary, Eliza, .....( I didn't copy all of them) .. Alexander m. Susan Goslin .... Beulah.... Elijah, the 10th child was b in Mason Co., KY 3 Apr 1829 and d 15 July 1905, m. Margaret Steel, 15 Aug 1820. Then follows a biography of Elijah. Seems to me I may have seen a biog of him in a Brown Co., OH history. If you don't have access to this, I could download it and scan it and attach it to an e-mail for you. Phyllis
