Garland came from Kentucky = http://macon.ilgenweb.net/blmound.html "Garland Hall, a native of Kentucky, in 1830 emigrated to, and settled on section 29 of this township about two miles north of the present town of Blue Mound, where he erected a cabin, broke some land, fenced it in and began farming. He brought with him a small-sized family. Wyett Cherry who was an early settler in this locality, is still residing a short distance north-west of the town of Blue Mound" Hall Cemetary, outside of Blue Mound, IL & boardering our family farm, is named after him. Supposedly because he donated some of the ground for it. We have also seen were Garland's name was spelled Garlant.
