Mary, My g-grandmother was Margaret C Garrison b.1822-26 in Tenn. She married John Christian abt 1839. They were in Bowie, TX by1845. Another researher places her born in Rhea Co,TN, dau of John & Eliza (Irvin) Garrison. John Garrison was the son of Garret Garrison. Yours are the first Garrisons I've heard about in Montague county. I'm wondering if Margaret was related to them is why she & John Christian went there. They appear in Hempstead Co,AR by 1950, Colombia Co,AR by 1960 and in Palo Pinto Co,TX by 1863. We also have some Indian stories which we cannot confirm. Does any of this sound familiar? I would love some help on this brick wall. Was John killed by Indians......was Margaret raped by an Indian and had his child in 1863? Thanks.........Melba On Sat, 15 Dec 2007 12:52:00 -0800 (PST) "Mary C.
