Individual Details

James Garner

(Abt 1800 - 10 Aug 1840)



Named as a brother of Nancy, I have no confirmation.

James is said to have married Nancy Crum, 30 Oct 1828 - others say she was Mary Crum. In the Indiana marriage database on Ancestry, James Garner married Mary "Cromb", 30 Oct 1828, Delaware Co IN.
One of the databases gives a date of death for James in 1840 and I did find a widowed Mary Garner in 1860 that was about the right age, see later.
