Good to hear from you again.
To re-cap - My alleged line of descent is as follows
Edward Garrett(1708-1751)
Edward II Garrett (1733-1794)
Jesse Garrett (1766-1853)
Edward H. Garrett (1795-1875)
William P. Garrett (1825-1863)
John C. Garrett (1855-before 1900)
Ella Mae Garrett(1878-1903)
Jesse lived all of his life supposedly in Lauren District, South Carolina. Edward H. Garrett left South Carolina and settled in Georgia and is enumerated as a Merchant in the 1850 Census of Chatooga County and William P. is listed a sa clerk. Edward H. Garrett is enumerated in Calhoun County, Alabama in 1860 and I haven't found him in 1870.
William P Garrett died at Vicksburg, Mississippi in the Civil War. I can't find John C. anywhere in the Census in 1870 but he is enumerated in Calhoun or Cherokee County in 1880 (doing this from memory rather than records). The last I have for the family of John C. is the 1900 Census of Calhoun County John's wife, Ementia, is enumerated as a widow. So- John died sometime between 1880 and 1900.
In Chatooga County all of my Garretts were in Broomtown Valley. In Alabama they were in Hokes Bluff, Fairplay, Forney,and Piedmont. One of my Holmes line(James Forney Holmes) married a Trammell. She died in 1893 and is buried
in the County.
As for Chatooga County, the first Garrett I find there is Stephen Garrett, brother to Jesse and son of Edward II. From this I would venture to assume that Edward H followed his Uncle and family from Laurens District to Chatooga County.
We have to be from the same "clan". Let's keep working.
