Here is what I have on William Garrison & his wife Harriet.
I am trying to fit my James Garrison somewhere in this family but have been unable to do so, I have been searching for my James J Garrison born 1831 in Canada for many years and since the Garrison's seem to be either in Hastings or Lennox & Addington during the time period he was born I think somehow he must fit into this family, I sorted out Garret Garrison's line because he was the only one that hadn't been sorted and he is the only one so far I have found without a James so far.
If it is not to much trouble can you tell me what it says about the James that was a school teacher in the book Rambling River? Thanks so much, Lana
