FOURTH GENERATION
FOURTH GENERATION8.(Peter's Father) Garland was born in Sussex, England.The Northern branch of the Garland family in the United States begins with his son Peter Garland, mariner, first found as a resident on Charlestown, Massachusetts Bay, in 1637.It is believed he is the ancestor of all the early settlers named Garland in both the Northern and Southern States. His name is not found in any of the passenger lists of early days, which may be accounted for by the fact that he was a "mariner" and probably came as seaman in a vessel coming to America from England.
Peter, with his wife, several sons and daughters, came from Wales between 1620 and 1627.Several of the sons remained in the North, settling in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and others settling in the South, in Maryland and Virginia.They were of the Sussex branch of the Garland family in England and moved into Wales.The other branches being one in York and one in Lancashire.It is believed that an ancester in the Sussex branch was John Garland, Warden of the Cinque Ports in the 15th cenury.
Mrs. Sally Garland Christian, daughter of the late Judge James Garland, of Lynchburg, Va., says: "The Garlands who came to America, some settling in the North, a portion going thence to Virginia, are of the Sussex branch of the Garland family in England.
Of the Garlands who settled in the South, John S. Garland, Esq., of Washington, says: "Peter Garland was the son of John, a Welch emigrant who settled in New Kent., Va.Said John had six sons and three daughters. One Peter Garland was an officer in the Revolutionary War and had land warrants and was given a pension."
The John Garland above mentioned was probably a grandson or descendant of Peter, the mariner, of Charlestown, Massachusetts Bay.
Joseph Dow, Esq., in his history of Hampton, says: "The ancestor of all the Hampton families bearing the name of Garland was John Garland, who was in Hampton, N.H., as eary as 1654.There was about this time a Peter Garland living in Boston, Mass.We do not know what relation these sustained to each other, but are led to think that they were brothers."
I have found the family name of Garland sometimes erroneously spelled in Government, State, Town and other records as Garlon, Garlin, Garlen and Garling.A very few of this family now spell their name Garlin, although others of the same immediate parentage spell their name Garland.
The name Garland is said to have been of Saxon origin, the German signifying "gleaned from the land".
I am under great obligation to the late Thomas J. Parsons, Esq., of Rye, N.H., for access to their valuable records and extracts therefrom; and also to Dr. John R. Ham, of Dover, N.H., for much assistance.
James A. Garland, Jr., Esq. of Chestnut Hill, Mass., is compiling a Genealogy of the Southern branch of the Garland family.
