I seem to be recognized as drichey166 here on rootsweb. My email address is drichey@xplornet.com . I am Daphne Nina Richey nee Garrison. My earliest known ancestor of the Garrison name is William Garrison b. 02 Oct 1830, in Hart County, KY. His mother was Anne Laird and she was the wife of George Garrison. William was taken to Enterprise, IL by Ann's parents and uncle Jesse Laird. George was listed dead in either 1828 or 1829, and may not have been William's father.
