James Garrison, 1810 & Elizabeth Keech

Someone out there must know who this James Garrison is and know descendents! I have a birthdate for James of March 31, 1809, born at South Fredericksburgh in Ontario, died April 8, 1888 in Camden. James and wife Elizabeth Keech Garrison are buried at Moscow Cem. in Camden Township.
I think this is the same James Garrison who married Margaret Shannon, daughter of James Shannon and Margaret Mary McGregor, about Nov. 13, 1873, again in Camden. Elizabeth did not die until 1877 however, so either her death date is wrong, the marriage date is wrong- could it have been 1878 and not 1873, that would make sense?....or this is not same James, but I do believe it was, or were Elizabeth and James separated when he re-married? Don't think this last idea plausible as James and Elizabeth are buried together. Where is Margaret Shannon Garrison buried?
On this marriage registration with Margaret Shannon, James Garrison is age 72 years, Margaret 42, James states parents to be Elias Garrison and Catherine Vandewaters.
James is age 62 years in Camden, Ontario on 1871 census index.
On same census index, there is a 60 year old "Ruben" Garrison who must be James Garrison's brother- he too states his parents to be Elias Garrison and Catherine Vandewaters, married Anna Lock on Oct. 15, 1878 in Camden; Reuben was 66, Anna 36. I don't know who Reuben's first wife was, have no names of children for him.
Birth year range for Elias and Catherine then is anywhere from 1769 to 1789. How was Elias Garrison related to Marvel Garrison? In 1871 Ontario census index there is also a 55 year old Nathaniel Garrison- how is he related to James & Reuben? To make things even more confusing there is also a 64 year old James Garrison in Richmond township in 1871- from Garrison research info/notes, didn't Marvel Garrison Senior have a son James? Was the 64 year old James in Richmond township Marvel's son then?
I have a marriage date for James Garrison and Elizabeth Keech, her surname mis-transcribed as "Leech" of Feb. 23, 1831 in Camden Township, from old Lutheran Church records.
James and Elizabeth are on 1851 Camden census with a son Alexander Garrison age 17, born about 1834- is this the same Alexander Garrison who died in Kennebec, Ontario on April 11, 1894, had family there? 1871 Ontario census index shows two Alexander's, one age 24 in Kennebec, one age 30 in Olden.
Back to James Garrison and second wife Margaret Shannon- witnesses to their marriage were Elisa Vannest and Absalom Milligan- Absalom Milligan's mother was Sarah Ann Garrison, born about 1820. Who were her parents/how related to James? I think Sarah had a brother (cousin?) George Garrison born about 1822; George was married to Mary Asselstine. Sarah and George are buried at Moscow Cem.Was Elisa Vannest/Vanness related to Garrison's as well?
Helen Phelan's recent posting got me wondering about all the names, and so many of hers are similar to "my" James line. I am sure everyone is related (Addington County), sure would appreciate help sorting out these families?
Thanks from Nora
