Andrew Jackson Garnsey
Andrew J. Garnsey was born in NY state in about 1822.His mother's name might have been Jerusha.I have no hint of a father's name.
I have seen his name spelled Guernsey.He married Parmelia Pepin Sept. 1, 1846 in Rockford, Illinois.In the 1850 census Parmelia (spelled Permillia here) lived in Roscoe Illinois on Nov. 25.Andrew was listed as 26, and Parmelia was 23.His occupation was listed as a joiner.
He died in New Madrid, MO (where he was serving from Iowa) during the Civil war March 26, 1863.His widow and 2 children at that time lived in Iowa.
Any information you might have on his parentage would be greatfully accepted.
