Yes, I do believe that I have some information on this particular family group. This is the family of Paul Garrison, b. Oct 1806 in Virginia, his wife Sylvia, Sylla, or Sili (unknown maiden name), b. 1808 in Pennsylvania. This particular Paul Garrison shows up in the U. S. Census for 1850 in District 5, Barry Co., Missouri as Pall Garison, male, age 44, farmer, born in Virginia, and married to Sili Garrison, age 42, female, keeping house, born in Pennsylvania. Living in the household at the time of this census are seven of their ten children:
William, age 17, M., farmer, born in Missouri.
Auguston, age 15, M., farmer, born in Missouri.
Neplarden, age 13, M., born in Missouri. (Actual name: Napolean).
Isam, age 12, M., born in Missouri. (Actual name: Isham Paul).
Abner, age 10, M., born in Missouri. (Actual name: Samual Abner).
Catherane, age 8, F., born in Missouri. (Actual name: Lydia Catherine).
Margret, age 5, F., born in Missouri. (Actual name: Margaret)
These Garrisons have other children, one of which is my ancestor, Cassandra Garrison, who is living nearby with her husband, John Thomas Bassett in District 5, Barry Co., Missouri, as:
Casandra Bassett, age 20, F., born in Indiana.
Paul and Sylvia Garrison also have two older sons:
Samuel, b. 1831 (that is all I know about him at this point), and John Garrison, whom I found in the U. S. Census for 1860 living in Blue, Jackson Co., Missouri, as John Garrison, age 32 ( 1828, the year following the 1927 marriage of Paul and Sylvia), married (with a daughter also named Cassandra), born in Indiana (like my ancestor Cassandra Garrison), and living next door to A. F. Garrison, whose wife's name, and whose birth date and birth place match Auguston Garrison's.
in The Census for 1860 in Columbia, Randolph Co., Missouri, we have:
Paul Garrison, age 53, M., W., farmer, born in Virginia, married to Sylla Garrison, age 51, F., W., born in Pennsylvania, and their children:
Isham P., age 22, M., W., farmer, born in Missouri. (Actually, Isham Paul).
Samuel A., age 20, M., W., farmer, born in Missouri. (Actually, Samuel Abner).
Lydia C., age 19, F., W., seamstress, born in Missouri. (Actually, Lydia Catherine).
My ancestor, Cassandra (Garrison) bassett is living in Crane Creek, Barry Co., Missouri in the 1860 Census.
Paul and Sylvia are missing from the 1870 Census (if anyone finds them, let me know), but we find, in Crane Creek, Barry Co., Missouri:
I. P. Garrison, age 32, farmer, born in Missouri. (Actually, Isham Paul. The I. P. has been mistranscribed into J. P. in some databases). IshamPaul Garrison has married, and is living with his wife, Sarah Jane Garrison, age 30, born in Arkansas (actually, Sarah Jane Eubanks).
We pick up the father, Paul Garrison, once again in the 1880 U. S. Census in District 2, Crane Creek, Barry Co., Missouri as:
Paul Garrison, W., M., age 74, father, widowed, born in Virginia. Paul is living in the household of his son:
I. P. (Isham Paul, again) Garrison, W., M., age 42, farmer, born in Missouri, father born in Virginia, mother born in Pennsylvania, and he is married to Sarah J. Garrison, age 40.
I hope that his helps someone. It took a long time to untangle this bunch.
