Gayle, My name is Yvonne Mason I am working on some Garretts for a friend of mine- I don't know if my information will help you or not- Email me at ysam51@yahoo.com and I will be happy to share what I have Yvonne Roy & Linda Garrett <lrgarrett@alltel.net> wrote: ----- Original Message ----- From: Gayle Garrett To: GARRETT-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, August 07, 2004 6:16 PM Subject: [GARRETT-L] Re: GARRETT ROLL CALL! - Elisha Garrett /William Elisha Garrett Looking for some information on my great great grandfather. He was born William Elisha or Elisha Garrett in 1849 in Union County Georgia. Son of William Elisha Garrett b: June 01, 1817 in Burke County, North Carolina & . I got some information from my great grandfather, Benjamin Franklin Garrett's death certificate & obituary. I also can identify my great great great grandparents William Elisha b: 1817 in Burke county, North Carolina & Mary Mashburn from a 1880 Census Place: Flint, Benton, Arkansas, Source: FHL Film 1254038 National Archives Film T9-0038 Page 323D. Here is what I have listed below. I have a gap of several years in not knowing where or what Elisha was doing. This I need filled in. Thank you Gayle M.Garrett Benjamin Garrett was my great granddad b: October 19, 1870 in Arkansas, Benton County All I had to go on was Benjamin's Death Certificate listing his parents were Caroline Daniels & Elisha Garrett & both were born in Georgia. --------- Every one kept suggesting Union Co., Georgia for the county that Elisha was born in. I have checked out as best I can several leads to counties in Georgia, This is the only one I have located that could very well be my connection. I received the census list listed below: from: Doyle Harper Union Co., Ga. 1850 Census 522 GARRETT William 34 NC Mary 37 NC Joseph 3 Elisha 1 Gone by 1860 ------------- William Garret 43, b NC, in Fannin Co., GA 1860 Census with Mary 48 NC; Joseph 13 GA; Elisah (sic) 11 GA; James 9 GA; Martha 7 GA; Mary 5 GA; Eliza 3 GA; & Louisa 2 GA. No Daniel(s) family in Fannin in 1860 or 1870 Census. William Garret(t) family not listed in 1870 Fannin Co. census. No marriage record for Elisha Garret(t) in Fannin Co. or Union Co., GA. Several Daniel(s) families in Union Co 1860 census, but no Caroline. A Wm. Daniels 32 GA & wife Martha 33 GA had a dau. Alsey C. 9 GA, in 1860 Union Co. census. This family not in 1870 Union Co. census. Good luck, Doyle Harper ------------- The dates & names tie in with my Garretts really well. The names Elisha, Joseph, Mary & James. My Granddad's name was Elisha Joseph Garrett & he had siblings with the names Mary & James. The Asley C. (possibly C. for Caroline), her age would have put her about 19-20 years old when my great grandfather Benjamin Garrett was born. Also the Garrett family does not seem to be in Fannin Co., Georgia in 1870, when my great granddad was born in Arkansas. I realize that part of Union Co., Ga. in 1850 by 1860 had become a part of Fannin Co., Ga. so the families may very well have still been living where they were in the 1850s, only the name of the county where the lived had changed. Realize that I have not proven that Asley is my Caroline, but it looks very possible. I am still looking for documentation that I can lay my hands on. Gayle M.
