I looked back through my note to confirm, but seen that I have Loderick as the s/o Joshua. He is likely the male b. 1804-1810 (b. 1810/11). Also as you probably know Loderick had a son named CREED. >The other male b. 1810-1820 is likely Spotwood b. 1814. >Hence, the "process of elimination". > >Also note in 1830 (pg 178) Joshua Garrott (Sr) is nearby on the same pg with Joshua (Jr), Loderick, & David (another son b. abt 1798). >We see that Joshua now has only 1 male b. 1820-30 (unknown), but where is Creed?

Who is this? He cannot be a son of David. David does not have children until after 1820. This male does NOT show up in Davids 1820 HH. As a matter of fact David has no children in 1820, so apparently just married.

Who is this Joseph Garrett that also was in Overton County too, the same time as all of your Garretts? >JOSEPH GARRETT was born Aft. 1783 >in Buckingham County, Virginia, and died 09 Feb 1859 in Overton County, >Tennessee. He married JUDA. She was born Aft. 1788 in Virginia, >and died Aft. 1870 in Tennessee. > > JOSEPH GARRETT, son of Joseph, b. 1814, Overton County, Tennessee; d. in Kentucky. He was listed on the 1850 Overton County Tennessee Census. He married Polly (Mary Maria) Brown. He then went to Wayne County, Kentucky and had 2 more children. I found him on the 1870 Russell County, Kentucky Census. Joseph and Mary Brown must have died before 1880, because their youngest daughter Lucinda was living with her sister Mary Maria (Garrett) Lockard on the 1880 Cumberland County Census. MARY MARIA GARRETT, daughter of Joseph, was born 16 Jul 1836 in Livingston, Tennessee, Overton County, and died 17 Dec 1901 in Burkesville, Kentucky, Cumberland County. She married BENJAMIN LOCKARD 18 Nov 1858 in Monticello, Kentucky, Wayne County, son of JOHN LOCKARD. He was born 1825 in Livingston, Tennessee, Overton County, and died 1890 in Burkesville, Kentucky, Cumberland County.
