Merry Christmas Jeffie,
I'd like to add another morsel to what Dee has shared with you.I had extracted the following information from the scans of the original Revolutionary War pension file of Stephen Garrison which is posted on HeritageQuest.Even though these folks are not related to my Garrisons, I keep such info available in my database for those who may need it.You will be especially interested in the notes for the ninth page.
