Mrs. Hager owns a tintype of Joshua Garrison & Mary Warful Garrison. She describes Joshua as a "tall lean, good looking man" & Mary Warful as having " strong features & straight dark hair." Mary E. Warful Garrison was the daughter of John Warful & Eleanor Lore-Blizzard. Mary was born July 1, 1817 & died Nov. 2, 1891 at Millville, NJ. Mary's mother Eleanor was a Lore but took the name of her step-father Blizzard after her father Isaac Lore died. Mrs. Hager gives the genealogy of the Joshua & Mary line & also speaks of the Garrison Native American blood that is unproven but part of the family's oral history. I'm also a Garrison descendant & my oral family history agrees with Mrs. Hager's. The Native American blood supposedly came into the Garrison family of Turkey Point from the Simpkins fami! ly who were of Lenni Lenape descent. I hope this adds something to the previous discussions. I recommend Mrs. Hager's book as a reliable source for Garrison family researchers. Sara Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
