I do not believe the Rose Garvin shown by John in the 1880 census is your Rosa (or Rose) Garvin, the mother of Luetta.
The 1900 US Census for Augusta, Richmond, Georgia shows Rosa Garvin - widow - b 1860 GA - seamstress - with 6 children: Walter/Ella/Luetta/Bertha/Arthur/Mazie.Walter was born Mar 1879 so if I have the correct Rosa, AND LUETTA, then this does not match with John's 1880 Jubiter Garvin family.I have also been searching for Rosa Garvin's parents AND her connection to Lewis Reeve Sams 1838-1892.I am the Treasurer of the Dataw Historic Foundation, and an amateur genealogist.The Sams family owned Dataw Island prior to the Civil War and ran a very successful plantation
