John, I have that Lindsey is the son of Jarret Boling and Eleanor Garrison, and that Jarret is the son of Benjamin and Winifred Garrison. Your Lindsey had brothers Benjamin and Henry among other siblings. This Benjamin is the father of my Henry so your Lindsey and his brother Henry would be my Henry's uncles. Ok, I think I just figured out my own question. Benjamin in the article was the son of John II. That Benjamin was married to Mary Latham. They had a son Benjamin who was married to Winifred Garrison who had a son Jarret who was married to Eleanor Garrison, who had a son Benjamin who married Nancy Lockhart who was the father of my Henry. Good grief! My problem was, I was dealing in reality with three Benjamins and only seeing two. The infamous missing link. Ha Ha Thanks for your reply John. And nice to meet you Cuzin. christine On Sat, 12 Mar 2005 15:33:19 -0800 "John Carter" <j.m.carter@comcast.net> writes: > I have a Sarah Bowling born 1829 died June 7, 1879 Powel River Wise > county > and her father Lindsey Bowling born 1803.
