Note:
The burning of the Wayne Co., IL courthouse put a tall brick walls around me as I researched each of my lines (HALL, HAILE, CRAVENS, PEER, and more).    I found 7 different walls were people of my lines married into the GARRISON lines.  So, I started researching the GARRISON line(s), hoping to find someone who had information about my lines.

The deeper I got into this line, the more interesting I found it be.  There are churches, towns  (townships), cemeteries, and etc. named after them.  In the learning about them, the more I research, the wider the 'cracks'  (very small, but cracks) become in my walls.

I have so much data on some of the Garrison lines that I decided to submit a FGS with hope it will help someone and, they will contact me for more information.  All the information the I found is from my findings in courthouses, newspapers, microfilms, letters, cemeteries, and etc..   During my researching I found 2  booksof the Garrison lines, of which I verified my research with and often contacted the authors.

Now, I hope I am able to help someone else.... click to begin the FGS for the families of .
