Another interesting fact - George C. Garrison's wife was Eliza Simkins no "P".
In Cumberland and Salem County there are several Simkins/Simpkins families but I have not been successful in locating the Eliza connection as she was born in Ohio and according to her death certificate came to NJ when she was 3.
Another source in South NJ for the Garrison family where you may find a David is the Vineland Historical Society, 108 South Seventh St., Vineland. They have the "Sheppard" papers that are 81 pages of the Garrison tree starting with Jacob in 1600's. I think they have some late 1700, early 1800 names.
Yes I did obtain the pension papers after two tries. It turns out there were two George C. Garrison's.
Before going to the Cumberland Cty, call and check on the hours of operation. I last visited there 15 years ago and remember they had limited hours of operation.
