Garnett, the subject of this brief sketch, was born on the 12th of August, 1811; at the age of ten years he emigrated with his parents to Kentucky, and settled in Todd County, and the following year came to Christian County, and located on the present site of Pembroke village. In early life he had the advantages of a good English education, and through a long and studious career he continued to improve his opportunities by reading standard works, as well as the current literature of the times. On the 12th of September, 1833, he married Miss Martha A., daughter of William C. Davis, and granddaughter of James Davis, the first settler of Christian County. This union was blessed with the following children: Francis A., William D., Mary E., James L. and Gustavus E. Of these children William D. still survives, and is a prominent farmer of this county. In 1860 he married Miss Mollie A., daughter of James Jones, who has borne him two children, viz: Benjamin J. and Gustavus. Jas L. Garnett and Annie L. Lacy (a granddaughter of Lemuel Mosley) were married in December, 1870. This union was blessed with three children: Mattie A., Lizzie and William D. Lizzie died when two years old; the other children still survive. James L. Garnett died October 27, 1881, in Pueblo, Col., whither he had gone for his health. Benjamin C. Garnett was a farmer by occupation and was one of the most successful business men of the county. His death occurred at his residence on the 27th of February, 1884, after a brief illness. He was a man of large mental endowments, and possessed many admirable traits of character. He was a devoted husband, a loving father and affectionate brother, a kind neighbor and most excellent citizen. He was an earnest, zealous, Christian, and had been a member of the Bethel (Baptist) Church for fifty-five years, of which time he was for forty years a Deacon. His memory will be cherished and his good deeds not forgotten.
