I have another question regarding migration, and maybe someone can answer this for me. I know my Garrison line moved to Coweta abt. 1833/34 due to Church records. They were living in Coweta on the 1840 census. They were also listed on the 1850 census in Coweta. My questions is: first two sons were born in Coweta 1844 and 1846, they then moved to AL, place unknown, third son was born in AL Feb 1849. What I suspect is they went to AL. for maybe free land, and they had to stay for several years to receive this land. They then sold and returned to Coweta Co. for the next son who was born in 1851. They were in Coweta until at least 1854 due to the birth of their next child who was born in MS. I suspect they had family there and was looking at land in MS. but I'm only guessing on this one. By 1860 they are in Fayette Co. AL for the next child's birth and are there until about 1864/65. How long did they have to live on land in Al. to receive it free?? Brenda
