List Readers, here is another one of Patricia Garrett's great photo submissions. This one, like the several of the others has several photos on the page. I am intrigued by the connections that the Garrett family had to so many Eagle Rock families. I am not related to the Garrett, Burris or Cole families - but love to read about them. I am related to the Reed and Simpson families who were related to some of these folks in this group. One of these photos is of Emma Jane (Burris) (Cole) Garrett and granddaughter Mary Kathleen Garrett. As you know Emma first married John Sigel Cole and second married Isaac Newton Garrett. She was daughter of Asahel and Sarah Ann (Garner) Burris. John Sigel Cole's brother was shot and killed in Barry County. His name was Richard Thomas Cole and he was married to Mary Margaret Simpson. Was Richard buried in Munsey without a stone? Anybody have a clue? Researcher Carolyn Hess is a descendant of Mary Margaret Simpson and is trying to make as many connections to these families that she can put together. She is seeking photos of Richard's two sons and of course any you can dig up of Richard or Mary Margaret, too. She knows one of the Cole sons died young, but the other one, James A. Cole married a woman named Margaret Ann Treat and had a child named James Cole. Margaret, the wife blind or almost blind. She died when the child was a baby and so Carolyn is not sure what happened to the baby, James or to the husband, James. She thinks that they could have been living in the Benton Co., AR, area, but isn't sure. She knows that James and Margaret married in Eureka Springs - if that will ring a few bells for you. The stories Carolyn has discovered about her family connections to Barry County are addictive - and to anyone who likes to hear old time stories. I am connected to her Simpson family - as most of you already know. Here is the link to the photo - http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/photos/photo-4/garrettEmmaJaneBurris.htm Oh, my - one more thing, I was wondering about the Garrett connection to George Morris. Isaac Newton Garrett had three wives - by his wife Mary Jane McCarty he had a daughter named Mary Martha Garrett who married a man named George Morris. Somebody please tell me - did this man come from Barry County and was he related to the George Morris who was once married to Mary Margaret Simpson. I don't think these two George Morris men are the same person, but just am wondering if they are related. If any of you can shed a ray of light on any of these questions, it will be appreciated.
