I was trying to use OTOMZ@aol.com but anyway, I saw your post about George Garrett in Floyd County Kentucky. I've been at this for only a couple of days now, so I'm a beginner but here's what I have so far with my Garrett family... My name is Roger Garrett. My father's name Roger Fayne Garrett born in 1944 Wheelwright, KY. His brother is William Royce Garrett born in 1946 at Calf Creek, KY. Their Father (my grandfather) is William (Willie) Garrett born in 1913 in Emma (I think) Ky. William married Dorothy Temple Goble. William's sis & bros are Sammie (Conn?) Goble born November 18, 1907 KY. (1/2 or step sister). Mary elle or "L" Garrett born about 1911 KY. Edmund Garrett born about 1916 KY. John Lee (Johnny Lee) Garrett born about 1919 KY. Denvel (known as Den) Garrett born about 1927 KY. Their father was John Wesley Garrett but people called him Wes. Wes was born in 1879 and died July 30, 1929 while working on a state highway in Kentucky. Ky death index listed him as John W. Garret (with one letter "T")Wes married Nancy Rice or Nannie (called her Nan) in 1909 in KY. Wes had a brother named George born about Jan 1878 in KY. (I think you had Jan 1887) typo?? Wes had a sister named Lucy born about July 1883 in KY. Wes's father was(I think) Jessee Garrett known as Jess born 1830. I found the 1880 Floyd County census that shows Wes was only 9-months old and the father was Jesse Garrett age 50 in 1880. Jessee's sis & bros are John Wesley Jr. b: 1827, Midleton b: 1832, Selina b: 1837, Julia Ann b: 1839, Samuel P. b:1841, and Lucy b:1843. Then I found from a Family Tree that their father was John Wesley Garrett born UNKNOWN but married Rebecca in Virginia 1811. John Wesley Garrett's sis & bros that I found is... Susannah Garrett married Soloman McGuire Jan 14, 1812. Elizabeth Garrett married Jesse Mcguire June 17, 1821. Cassandra Garrett married James Stratton October 29, 1820 Their father was Elimelick or ELUMELECH Garrett married to Sally or Sarah Vaughn on April 18, 1792 at Henry Co. Virginia. Sarah Vaughn was born in 1767. I got this from that same tree, but I haven't seen any papers to prove this link up yet. So that's where I'm at, does any of this sound familiar with what you might have?? Are we related? I think maybe we are! If it's the same George Garrett, he would be my Great Uncle and your Grandfather. George was about 50 years old in the 1930 census for Floyd, KY. Please if you can help me out too, email me at pweee@earthlink.net. Thank you for your time, Roger Garrett.
