Hi, I'm trying to get links to my GARNER line who settled in Gibson Co. TN in the late 1800s. Part of their family migrated to TX. My gr-grandfather, William Morris GARNER (1855-1906), was born in TN (as was both his parents according to census data) actually moved to TX, had one child born there, but moved back to Gibson Co. TN. According to one of my older uncles, things didn't work out for him in TX. We assumed he had family there (aunts, uncles, possibly his father, etc.). We are trying to find William Morris GARNER's parents. We believe his grandparents are William GARNER (ca1802-1874) and Elizabeth from Hardin Co. TN (in 1850 & 1860 census). In 1870, the grandfather William GARNER shows up in Gibson Co. TN with a new wife, Charity H. GARNER (nee unknown) and lived near a town called "Kenton Station" (its called Kenton today). We are fairly certain that this William GARNER (1802) was the grandfather of our William Morris GARNER because of a Will made in Gibson Co. mentioning William Morris GARNER. We also know that William Morris had at least one sister, Lucinda. The most likely candidate for William Morris GARNER's father is Marshall J. GARNER. He was 17 living with his parents in Hardin Co. TN in the 1850 census. He was not listed with his parents on the 1860 census and we've been unable to ever find him again. Did Marshall J. move to TX before the 1860 census? If he was the father of William Morris GARNER, born in TN in 1855, he moved between 1855-1860. It also meant that Marshall J. GARNER was only 22 when William Morris GARNER was born. If what we assume is true, then Marshall J. GARNER would have married in TN, probably Hardin Co. around 1853-54. Can anyone throw any light on these GARNERS especially our elusive Marshall J. GARNER? Thanks and take care, Eddy G. Clark Gibson County TNGenWeb Coordinator
