J Roots: I am a relative newcomer to the research on this family, but I can tell you from what research I've done, the research of others that I've read, and the feedback I've gotten from others in this group that there are few definitive answers yet about the connections between the first & second generations of Overton Co Garretts. I found an 1848 court record recently I hoped would help, but it wasn't one of the Garrett Patriarchs. If you know anyone looking for info on Joshua the younger, though, it's there. BUT, your email raises several important questions that point us all to new areas of research. You say Joseph Garrett b 1814 married Polly Brown (I assume from Overton Co?), then moved to Wayne Co KY btw 1850-1860. This is interesting for two reasons: 1. I am a descendant of Creed Garrett thru his dau Emila ("Kitty") b 1835 who married Wm Cox bef 7 Sep 1850. They are living next door to Creed on the 1850 census. But in 1860 Wm & son Charley b 1852 are living with Wm's mother in - guess where? Wayne Co KY. Just 3 doors down is "Abram" Garrett, age 45 & b TN. I thought that was quite a coincidence when I first saw it, but now that you say your Garrett ancestor moved there at maybe the exact same time, it REALLY makes me wonder who else is there and why. 2. How do you know Polly's name is Brown? Have you found any records of her family? The reason I ask is that I have seen a record that states that "Brown" was the maiden name of Mariah Garrett (Creed's wife). This could very well be wrong, but I've been looking for a Brown family to appear in this mix and there it was - in your email. 3. Last, what is our source for Joseph the elder being born in Buckingtham Co VA? I saw the other day that Loderck was born in Campbell Co VA. I'm assuming that there is a miilitary pension record somewhere that backs up these staements. I was thinking about starting a Overton Co Garrett family website for us to easily share info and contribute copies of new things we find. Anyone interested?
