James Garvin 6/18/01
I have a William Garvin b. 1815 New Milrs, Ayershire, SCOTLAND.HE MARRIED 1837 or before to Margaret Cornell who was said to be born 1811 in Scotland.They came to the US in 1837 to New York.They were in Wisconsin by 1843.
One source told me they thought the name could have actually been Mc Tavish in Scotland and he was a silk weaver.Got into a knife accident and changed his name.Took 6 weeks to cross the Atlantic.
