Thelma, I have a citation for Oliver's marriage to Sarah Wells in 1899. I don't have a copy of the biography of John W. Garrison, but if my memory serves me, he was unrelated (If I'm wrong, please correct me). There was another clan of Garrisons in Tyler County that had Virginian origins; my Garrisons were Pennsylvanian. Was the Garrison biography by Earl Garrison fairly recent? I believe the Denver Library has a copy of a 1984 Tyler Co. history, with biographies of the local families. If this is the case, I have access to the source. Thanks for taking the time to respond, Brian Brian D. Core P.O.
