Daphne:
Your Elizabeth
Garringer is the same as mine! This is cool! I have a lot of
Garringer information, so let me know where you need a little help and I will be happy to respond if I can help.
By the way, Elizabeth was actually the step sister of
Absalom Lincoln Garringer. Her father was James
Wilson Summers and Nancy A. March. After Nancy died, James married the widow of
Absalom Lincoln Garringer, SR.who were the parents of
Absalom Lincoln Garringer, Jr. Absalom Sr's widow was Delilah Martin. Sometime after the marrage of James and Delilah, Elizabeth married Charles Alfred
Garringer, who was the son of
Absalom Sr. and Delilah. Therefore, Elizabeth's step mother became her mother-in-law.
Have I thoroughly confused you yet? I think I've confused myself.
Elizabeth and Charles were my great grandparents. Elizabeth was married 6 times, twice to Charles and 4 other men. In fact, one of her boyfriends killed Charles during an argument over how the boyfriend was treating Elizabeth.
