If any of you notice a possible marriage in Henrico/Chesterfield Co, or even Dinwiddie, between an Andrews and a Garrett, please let me know. When I first read your email tonight it just made me wonder if the name should have been Avis "Garrett" rather than "Garnett." It is just something to think about, and with the difficulty in reading old records at times, it might have been mistaken years ago. If something looks promising, please let me know. Best of luck on your Garrett search.
