Ruth, I'm sorry that I have no information on any of the individuals you named. What I have on Garrett and Brownlow is copied from the Ancestry Chart below compiled by Beth Nannie Minatra(e) Bryan who wrote a number of letters to Giles County TN individuals as well as to the Giles Co Hist Soc and Old Records Dept in Pulaski during the 1980s. I am fortunate to have recently received copies of some letters, charts and notes that she wrote to members of the local Giles Co TN Minatra family. One very informative marginal note Mrs. Bryan wrote beside the name of her grandfather James David Minatre helped me greatly in setting the timeframe for their migration from Giles Co TN to Ellis Co TX. I quote exactly as written by Mrs. Bryan, "His sister Josephine & his Garrett brother-in-law & came to Ellis Co., Tx. ca 1881-84. Also a 3rd wagon - his bro. Bob (Robert) & wife Matt _?_" At this point I'm not sure if other family members joined the Garrett brother-in-law, or if there was a second wagon of kin from Giles Co. (who should have been named after the second "&" in her note). In my records I have a more complete list of descendants than I've included here. I would like to continue our discussion privately if you are agreeable. Direct Line from Andrew Jackson Minatree (1828) to Beth Nannie Minatre Bryan (1910) Generation No. 1 1.
