I had a response from this list from a person who offered to copy Garrison information from Leckey's "Tenmile Country-" and I deleted the message accidentally before I could respond privately. I have a copy of the book, which gives fairly accurate information about most of the Garrisons except my 4th great grandfather, Leonard Garrison. It says that Leonard was born in Scotland in 1757, but implied that he may have been related to Frederick Garrison, who was a German immigrant. Guess Leckey didn't think that one through. Actually, Leonard was probably born in NJ in the 1740's, while his older brother Frederick was probably born in Germany in the 1730's. Leckey assumed that the Leonard Garrison who Frederick shared a patent with was his son, also named Leonard; actually, the Leonard and Frederick who purchased the "Friendship" tract were the above-mentioned brothers, as estate information reveals. The connection to Tyler County is Leonard's son David, who moved to Tyler County in 1860. Some of Frederick Garrison's children and grandchildren are found in the early records of Tyler County; they lived in part that later became Wetzel County. Brian Brian D. Core P.O.
