I am looking for the parents of James GARRETSON. They are John GARRETSON and Virginia (Surname unknown). James GARRETSON was born on 22 May 1798 in Virginia. He was in Mercer County, Virginia from 1840 through 1870. He died on 23 Jun 1873 in Mercer County, West Virginia. He married Barbara (Surname unknown), and after her death married Lucretia BLANKENSHIP. Zurella Svillia GARRISON (da of Barbara) was born on 24 Dec 1835 in Tazewell County, Virginia. She appeared on the Census in Mercer County, Virginia from 1850 to 1900. She married Elisha Pluckett JONES on 20 Jan 1859in Tazewell Co., VA. She was a Farmer in 1900. She died on 24 Feb 1919 in Oakvale, Mercer County, West Virginia. Does anyone know of John and Virginia? I'd also like to know if anyone might know anything about Barbara.
