Paul's grandfather, Christopher Morris Garst, is the son of James Marion Garst, born Carroll Co. GA, d. Veterans Home in Atlanta, 1916. James Marion is the son of Christopher Garst (b. Va 1803-4) and Sarah Coltharp (b. TN). Chris and Sarah were married in Jefferson Co TN, 11 Dec 1825. Christopher I is the problem here--we think he was Christian, youngest son of Jacob and Sally Frantz, but since there are no good birthdates on Jacob's children, and since the first records we have of this line are for CHRISTOPHER, not CHRISTIAN, proving the connection has proved difficult! Circumstantial evidence is good: Chris and Sarah had a son named Jacob and another named Philip HINKLE--the name of Jacob's wife Magdalena and also the name of their son.But, yes, we're still looking for our ancestors--proof of Christopher I's parents!
