8901 I14159  Garrett  Clairborn  Aft 1802  Abt 1837  0  Clairborn Garrett, William's older brother, who operated a store in San Augustine, died in the winter of 1836. Jacob, Garrett's father, was appointed administrator of Clairborn's estate. Jacob quickly sold all of Clairborn's personal property, but for some reason was exceptionally slow to settle other estate manners. In fact, his reluctance to distribute his son's real property forced the probate court twic to order him to "make a showing." In 1839, when Clairborn's widow finally received one-fourth of the estate, she had already remarried John D. Nash.

8902 I14804  Garrett  Clementine "Mintie"  Abt 1836  18 Dec 1862  0  Minta and her husband lived next to William and Lucretia Garrett in 1860. She appears to have died sometime thereafter, as in 1870, her three young children were living with the Garrett family, and in 1880, her son William was still living in the Garrett household, listed as a grandson. Henson and Parmelee, in their book THE CARTWRIGHTS OF SAN AUGUSTINE, indicate that she died on typhoid fever, after an illness of seven weeks. (p. 220)  STR06

8906 I14308  Garrett  Eva L.  Abt 1859  Yes, date unknown  0  There seems to be a discrepency with her age between the 1870 census (shown as age 10) and the 1880 census (shown as age 15). I am assuming the 1870 date is more accurate, based both on her age at the time of the 1860 census and her marriage date.  STR06

8908 I14471  Garrett  Jackson  Abt 1862  Yes, date unknown  0  In 1880, he was shown as a Bachelor living with his half-sister's son, William Price. Both worked as farmers.  STR06 
8909 I14115  Garrett  Jacob  Abt 1776  1842  0  "Jacob Garrett was in the Ayish Bayou Dist. by 1824. His son, William, preceded him and his son, Milton, followed him. He served his district as Alcalde in 1830. He also served on the Permanent Council of the Mexican Government. Jacob bought the home of T. S. McFarland and settled on a league of land on the Attoyac River. A Garrett House still stands on the El Camino Real near the Attoyac." (White and Toole)

He was listed in the Sabine District of Texas at the time of the 1835 census, as a 59 year old widower with five household servants and their five children.

He was a juror in San Augustine County in 1840, for the murder trial of William Anderson, Alexander Horton, Lewellyn A. Temple and Hershal Corzine, accused of murdering John Bodine. The jury found the defendants not guilty. (Noble, TEXAS TRAILBLAZERS)

He died in 1842 leaving four heirs, a widow and three grown children--William, William's brother, Milton, and their sister. (Noble, "Garret Plantation Was One of Biggest" SAN AUGUSTINE TRIBUNE 13 April 1995) 		 STR06 
8910 I14317  Garrett  James  Abt 1858  Yes, date unknown  0  Assumed that this is the James Garrett that married Mattie Gilbert by the process of elimination. He and Mattie were both unmarried in 1880, and both still living in their parent's home. This is confirmed by examining the 1920 census, where James parents were both shown as born in Tennessee, and his brother Claiborne was living with him. The obituary of his son, Milton Garrett confirms this.

The only other possible candidate living in San Augustine in 1880, was a J.A. Garrett, born ca 1856 in Mississippi. This J.A. Garrett was also unmarried in 1880, living in prencinct 2, household #88-92 with his 60 year old widowed mother from Alabama. J.A. Garrett's father was listed as being born in South Carolina. The aforementioned "J.A. Garrett" appears to be unrelated to the other Garrett's in San Augustine, and as such would not be a direct descendant of Alcade Jacob Garrett of Tennessee.

8912 I48503  Garrett  Janet Ann  5 May 1940  18 Dec 2012  0  Memorial services for Janet will be held on Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 10:30 a.m. at the Milligan Auditorium in Milligan. Cremation has taken place and there will be no visitation. Private family graveside services will be at a later date in the Bohemian National Cemetery.

Memorials are directed to the family in lieu of flowers.

Janet Ann (Garrett) Vavra was born on May 5, 1940, in Geneva, Nebraska, to William "Pete" & Edna (Brower) Garrett and passed away on Tuesday, December 18, 2012, at the Nebraska Heart Institute in Lincoln, Nebraska, at the age of 72 years, 7 months, and 13 days. She was one of two children in the family.

As a young girl she was baptized at the Geneva Congregational United Church of Christ in which she was a member of the congregation for over fifty years. She also taught Sunday school there in her younger years. She attended Geneva High School and graduated with the class of 1958. After graduation, she attended Lincoln Beauty Academy and received her cosmetologist license and later worked for Mollene Gergen. She also worked for Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph as a switchboard operator.

Janet was united in marriage to Stuart Lee Vavra of Milligan, Nebraska on March 8, 1963, in Geneva, Nebraska. In March of 2013 they would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. To this union two daughters were born: Jana Marie and Jodene Renae. Together they made their home on the farm northwest of Milligan.

Janet was a stay-at-home Mom while the girls were little. She later worked for KMI Mobile Home Manufacturing in Geneva. Her biggest enjoyment was babysitting in her home with some special children whom were very dear to her heart. After her girls attended high school, she worked at Milligan House of Meats and The Food Basket for Charlie and Mary Uldrich. She was also a member of the Milligan HSSK Post 240 Legion Auxiliary.
Janet spent twenty-five years of her marriage sitting in the grandstands watching her husband, "Super Stu," compete in stock car racing. Weekends consisted of traveling from racetrack to racetrack throughout Nebraska. During their racing years, she and her husband met many dear friends. After Stu retired from circling the racetracks, she spent her later years following her twin grandsons racing. She spent timeless hours out in the garage watching the boys work on their racecars and cooking them homemade suppers. She was their number one fan. She also enjoyed attending her granddaughters sporting events, dance, and piano recitals. She was very proud of all the grandchildren's accomplishments.

Janet enjoyed bidding at auctions, rummaging through garage sales, searching for good buys at thrift shops, and finding treasures at storage unit sales. In Janet's spare time, she also enjoyed reading, doing word searches, and embroidering. She was able to embroider each grandchild a baby quilt and a quilt for each of her daughters too.

Janet was preceded in death by her parents, Pete & Edna Garrett; father-in-law and mother-in-law Edward & Lillian Vavra; brother and sister-in-law Dean & Charlotte Garrett; and brother-in-law Victor Hladky.

She is survived by her husband, Stuart of Milligan, NE; daughter and son-in-law Jana & Billy Slezak of Milligan, NE; daughter and son-in-law Jodene & Tom Lovegrove of Fairmont, NE; grandchildren Shane Slezak of Lincoln, NE, Shawn Slezak & Taylor Slezak of Milligan, NE, Whitney Lovegrove & Sydney Lovegrove of Fairmont, NE; sister-in-law Shirley Hladky of Seward; brother-in-law and sister-in-law Edwin & Beth Vavra of Milligan, NE; special acquaintances Jasmin, Noah, Lily, Jen & Kaydence; nieces and nephews and a host of other relatives and friends.

(Henson and Parmelee, THE CARTWRIGHTS OF SAN AUGUSTINE, p. 174)

Henson and Parmelee also wrote that in 1862, Mary, "an old maid at twenty-two, also has typhoid, but recovered to help care for her deceased sister's children while their father was in the army." (ibid, p. 220)

Not living with her parents at the time of the 1880 San Augustine County census.

In Book Two of the San Augustine County, Texas Marriage book, there are marriage records listed for a "Mary Garrett" to Joseph Little in 1865, to Henry Sublett in 1869, and to Madison Sexton in 1876.

This Mary Garrett would have been around age 25 in 1865, and could have married Joseph Little. However, they can not be located either the 1870 or 1880 census of San Augustine County. If they did marry, he either died before 1870, and Mary next wed Henry Sublett; or they both moved away from San Augustine County prior to 1870.

The Mary Garrett who married Henry Sublett in 1869 was born sometime between 1835 (ref: 1880 census) and 1842 (ref: 1870 census). She was shown on both census transcriptions as being born in Texas, and that both her parents were born in Tennessee. This appears to be a good match for this Mary Garrett.

As Henry and Mary were still married in 1880, our Mary Garrett Sublett could not have wed Madison Sexton in 1876. Madison Sexton can not be located on either the 1870 or 1880 San Augustine County Texas census transcription. 		 STR06 
8919 I14313  Garrett  Mary  Abt 1852  Yes, date unknown  0  Not living at home at the time of the 1880 San Augustine County census. Presumed to be either married or dead.

In Book Two of the San Augustine County, Texas Marriage book, there are marriage records listed for a "Mary Garrett" to Joseph Little in 1865, to Henry Sublett in 1869, and to Madison Sexton in 1876.

Mary would have been only 13 in 1865, presumably too young to have married Joseph Little. Joseph Little can not be located in San Augustine County in 1870 or 1880.

The Mary Garrett who married Henry Sublett in 1869 was somewhere born sometime between 1835 (ref: 1880 census) and 1842 (ref: 1870 census). As Mary was born circa 1852, she could not have been the Mary Garrett who was wed to Henry Sublett.

Mary would have been 24 in 1876, and would have been the correct age to marry Madison Sexton. No listing can be found for Madison and Mary Sexton in 1880 in San Augustine County. If they did marry, perhaps they moved away from San Augustine. 		 STR06

8921 I14153  Garrett  Milton  Abt 1804  Bef 1870  0  Settled on the east side of the Attoyac River, about nine miles west of the Ayish Bayou. He moved into a hand hewn log house and remained there for the rest of his life. The old log house still stands today. Owned by Milton Garrett's descendants, it is located on the south side of the Old San Antonio Road on top of the hill, one mile east of the Attoyac River. (Noble, San Augustine Tribune "William Garrett Plantation Was Near Town" 6 April 1995)

Per the 1860 census, he was a Farmer with $6,219 in real estate and $37,650 in personal property.

He was not listed on the 1870 census, presumably having died. His widow and all of his children were still living on the farm, which was now valued at $5,000, with $2,000 in personal property. Bill and Francis Harrison, a black couple with two young children were living with them as well, as household servants. Also living with them was 24 year old S.D. Horton from Alabama, a white farm laborer. By 1880, only Sam, Claiborne and James were still living at home. 		 STR06

8930 I14152  Garrett  William  Abt 1808  12 Jan 1884  0  On the 1860 San Augustine County census, he was shown as a planter, with $36,751 in real property and $134,910 in personal property. The Garrett's lived next to the family of Frank and Minta Price, who had three children, John, Mary and William (ages 6,4 and 1). The three Price children, presumably orphaned, were actually living with the Garrett family at the time of the 1870 census. William Price, age 20, was still living with the Garrett family in 1880, and is listed as William Garrett's grandson.

On the same census, brother-in-law Matthew Cartwright had real estate at $500,000 and personal property near $75,000, with only 13 slaves. Henson and Parmelee point out by way of contrast that brother-in-law and "planter" William Garrett estate, included 132 slaves, and that "Farmer-Merchant" Iredell D. Thomas had $166,000 in accumulated wealth, and 52 slaves. (Henson and Parmelee, "The Cartwrights of San Augustine," p. 191).

In 1870, he was shown as a retired farmer, with $20,000 in real property and $5,000 in personal property.

The information below is excerpted from a five part series on William Garrett by Harry Noble, Jr appearing weekly in the SAN AUGUSTINE TRIBUNE begining on April 6, 1995 and continuing through May 4, 1995.

"William Garrett, born in 1808 and a native of Davidson county, Tennessee, was still a youngster when his parents, Jacob and Charity (Taylor) Garrett, moved the family to Arkansas. In 1827, at the age of nineteen, Garrett migrated to Texas, first settling in Nacogdoches. He established a small mercantile business there, but operated it only a short time before moving east to the Ayish Bayou District.

Either Garrett encouraged family members to joing him in Texas, or the family had developed a master migration plan, because his father and several brothers soon followed him to the area. Jacob, his father was the first to arrive, but is wasn't long before his older brother Milton came to the new territory. At some point during this relocation process, another older brother, Clairborn, also migrated south to the Ayish Bayou District....

William Garrett acquired a land grant about a mile west of the Ayish on the Old San Antonio Road. He decided that's where he wanted to live and remained there for the rest of his life. He would eventually develop a profitable plantation and build a large house. The old home has survived and is presently the Cornell and Ruby Dorsey home. While still nineteen, Garrett joined Burrell J. Thompson's militia and participated in the Fredonian Rebellion. The final battle of the insurrection occurred a little over a mile east of the Ayish Bayou. However, the culminating ambush and surrender process, where the Fredonian reinforcements were captured by Stephen Prather's small group, took place on the ridge just east of William Garrett's house.

Even though Garrett now lived in the Ayish Bayou area, he still had many friends in Nacogdoches, including Adolphus Sterne, and continued to interact with the town and its people for several years. For instance, it was during this period that he was ordered to repay a debt of six pesos to Jesus de los Coy, a resident of that district. Also, in August of 1832, Charles S. Taylor, another Nacogdoches resident, sent $30 by Mr. G. Pollett for payment on an account he had had with Garrett. Taylor, in an accompanying letter, asked Garrett for a receipt, plus all of the local news. News was a valuable commodity in pioneer days and was gathered at every opportunity and from whatever source available.

Tension had been growing for years in Nacogdoches between the civil authorities and Jose de las Piedras....(culminating) in the Battle of Nachogdoches on August 12, 1832....Garrett and Alexander Horton (later) signed a sworn statement that: "...James B. McMahan served as private in Captain Smith's company....(and that they) were in the same battle and in the same expedition at Nacogdoches."

In 1832, Garrett was selected as one of the committee members to select a site for the town. In the following year he bought a large parcel of land from Obediah Hendrick. Perhaps this was purchased in connection with his approaching marriage to Mary "Polly" Cartwright. Their vows were exchanged on October 20, 1833.

Garrett's first land transaction recorded in San Augustine County deed records was for lot 161, sold to Francis Cabler in December 1837 for $50. In March, 1838, he served on the adultry trial of Simpson Brown and Eliza Dalton. The case was dismissed.

In the late 1830's, an economic depression took hold. Adolphus Sterne wrote in his diary "Grog Shops all Shutt no Cash...times have never been so hard." In financial maneuvers to help survive this crisis, Garrett formed a Cotton warehouse partnership in Sabinetown with his father-in-law, John Cartwright. he also entered into several land ventures with his brother-in-law, Matthew Cartwright. Cotton prices had dropped to the point Garrett and the Cartwrights were willing to store cotton in a warehouse and gamble on the prices going back up in future years.

After his father's death (in 1842), William was appointed administrator of his father's estate, and at the same time made administrator de bonis non of (brother) Clairborn's estate. He submitted the final settlement of his brother's estate in January of 1848 and shortly after that was able to close the books on his father's estate--personally receiving a portion of each property.

He was administrator of the esate of his father-in-law, John Cartwright, and Henry J. Lockridge. He transferred a half interest in a third of a league of land located on the Trinity River in Nacogdoches to William D. Ratliff--another brother-in-law. Two months later, Garrett bought the same half interest at public auction with a high bid of $70.

Garrett was obviously a busy man at this point in his life. Married and with three minor children, not only was he overseeing one of the largest plantations in East Texas and part owner of a cotton warehouse venture, he was also the administrator of at least four estates. Even thought the depression was still hanging on in 1843, Garrett was doing well with his plantation. The tax rolls showed substantial income and the family owned two fine carriages--an unusual luxury at that time.

His wife died in July 1846. Garrett enrolled his minor daughters at the Women's Female College, a department of Wesleyan College. The tuition was $10 per session for each girl. Garrett offset some of his expenses, however, by furnishing firewood during the winter. The total tuition charges for 1847, minus the firewood, came to $48. Garrett boarded the girls at the home of Stephen W. Blount for the year for a total of $115. Additionally, he was paying $10 per semester for music lessons. Obviously, he was dedicated to providing the best education available for his daughters.

Earlier, in March 1847, Clementine Holman, widow of Sanford Holman and daughter of William Garrett's brother-in-law Matthew Cartwright had died (sic), leaving her two small children Anna and William. Within days after the marriage of William and Lucetta, William moved his two daughters back from the home they were boarding in to their plantation home, as well as taking in the two Holman children, again helping out relatives in time of need. Considerable credit should go to Lucetta. Married less than a month, she not only had a new husband but four small children. She and William went on to have seven more children of their own.

Due to his numerous business and estate dealings, Garrett was frequently in court. In 1847, Edmund Gaines, the commanding general of Fort Jessup, fifteen miles east of the Sabine River in Louisiana, filed suit against the estate of Jacob Garrett for which William was administrator. District Judge O.M. Roberts ruled in favor of Garrett. However, the case was later retried and the jury subsequently returned a verdict in favor of General Gaines. In 1848, Emory Huston, son of Almanzon, filed a lawsuit against William as well. The jury found in Garrett's favor. Later, he lost a judgement for $25.25 to Iredell Thomas, but a case filed by William and Mary Seawall was found in his favor. Leon Chabert of New Orleans, representing a commodities trading firm, had been pursuing a delinquent payment claim against Matthew Cartwright for years. He eventually sued Garrett and Samuel Burrus as guarantors for Cartwright. The court ruled in favor of the plantiffs (Burrus and Garrett). Additional lawsuits continued into the late 1850's, with verdicts going both for and against Garrett.

In December 1863, Richard Waterhouse, a San Augustine merchant, was murdered and robbed. A number of citizens assemebled and appointed "a committee of Safety...consisting of more than fifty of our most respectable citizens." William Garrett was a primary spokesman. They investigated the murder and arrested three men, immediately sentencing them to be hanged, not waiting for the next session of the district court. Two of the men, Malvin Huston and William M. Everett, were scheduled to be executed on the morning of February 13, 1864, and the committee "ordered (their) examination by a unanimous vote, and directed that both...men should be tortured, if necessary, to procure a disclosure of the circumstances...Everett refused to make any disclosure, (therefore) he was subjected to torture which was slight and he very soon consented to tell all he knew of the matter..." The interrogation committee consisted of William Garrett, Alexander Horton, and Dr. Isaih J. Roberts. Another small group had similarly interrogated Everett, obtaining a statement almost identical in substance and detail. The surprising testimony pointed to one of the town's leading attorneys, Henry M. Kinsey. As in most murder investigations, there were conflicting "facts" and a wide range of opinions. Huston and Everett were executed on February 15, 1864, less than seven weeks after the murder of Richard Waterhouse. They had "retracted the whole of their statements" prior to their executions. Kinsey denied everything. He was never brought to trial. Shortly after the victim's son returned from the Civil War, Kinsey was gunned down (May 10, 1865) by the "Waterhouse Party."

After the war, during the reconstruction period, things were difficult for Garrett. He salvaged as much as he could and continued on. In March 1874, he sold his steam mill, engine saw, and grist mill to W.S. Rhodes. He continued to buy and sell land. In 1875, he purchased 700 acres from his sister Lurena Curl, Thomas Curl's widow, for $1,000. The land was in Ellis County, and had been part of the Clairborn Garrett headright. He sold "for love and $100" a one-fifth interest in a section of land four miles west of San Augustine to Ella and Lafayette Sharp, his daughter and son-in-law. This transaction occurred in February of 1880."

Garrett died on January 12, 1884 at the age of 76. He was buried just a few yards northeast of his plantation home. That cemetery, known today as the William Garrett Cemetery, has twenty-five graves. Garrett was the father of thirteen children by two marriages. Both wives were buried with him, along with eleven of his children, seven daughters and four sons. Also near him are two daughters-in-law. 		 STR06

8933 I41844  Garrison  Caleb  Abt 1775  4 Nov 1848  0  From FindAGrave:

Died at his residence, in Paulding County, Georgia, November 4, 1848, Caleb Garrison, aged 73. His disease was one of long standing, and such was its character that frequently his children were called upon to see his last, but he bore it with courage, fortitude, and murmured not at the providence of God. In his death, the Church lost a devoted member of long standing. He was born in North Carolina, moved to Franklin County, Ga., in 1810, became a member of the Methodist Church a year after his removal, and shortly after he was appointed a leader.

He moved from Franklin County to Fayette County, then to Carroll County, Georgia. He afterwards lived several years in Heard County, and moved from thence to his residence in Paulding, where he breathed his last. (Obituary of Caleb Garrison; Southern Christian Advocate, Vol. XII, No. 26, p. 104; issue of Dec. 8, 1848)

Caleb married Sarah Jane Fleming in 1795, and they had 9 children.

Recent DNA testing has disproven a long-held theory that Caleb's parents were John Garrison and Elinor Robinson. Instead, his parents are now believed to be Isaiah Garrison and another Elinor.

Christian Church of Ellington (1823) The Christian Church of Ellington (then Gerry) was organized July 13,1823 and was composed of seven members: Ira GATES Noel C. GATES Simon LAWRENCE Clarissa GATES Polly GATES [It is believed that the first and third of the following named officers make up the seven original members.] Freeman WALDEN and Elisha BEARDSLEY were chosen elders; Seth S. CHASE, deacon

No articles of faith were adopted; the members simply agreeing ? to take the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments for the rule of faith and practice at all times.? From the time of organization for about tens years the records are meager, containing little else than the record of members received and dismissions. Among the ministers who served the church were:

____WALDEN Stephen BLAISDELL.

The meeting house was built about 1845. It was repaired in 1859, and dedicated anew, Jan 5, 1860; sermon by E. B. ROLLINS.

He came to this country [Cotton County, Okla(Indian Territory)] in 1901 and settled
on a claim northwest of Walters in the Elm Grove district.
He was well and favorably known in and around Walters.
He was a true Christian character, a loving and devoted husband, father,
grandfather and great-grandfather.

One Less at Home

One less at home,
The charmed circle broken, a dear
face missed day by day from its
accustomed place;
But cleansed and saved and perfected
by grace.
One more in Heaven!
