Hi Martha, I wish I had information on Rachel Garrett, but I haven't pushed my Garrett line much past 1860. This is what I have on the Garretts. One of my complications is that they lived right on the Virginia - North Carolina border and each generation seemed to change sides. As an aside, the Mary Jane Williamson shown below is Mary Susan Williamson's aunt. Hope this helps, Randy Descendants of Edward J. Garrett 1 Edward J.
