Individual Details

Ephraim Garrason (b Duplin Co c 1794; d there by 1829) m Margaret Carr (b 2 Sep 1793; d 2 Jun 1844) d/o Wm Carr. She was bur at Rockfish Presbyterian Church.Her marker is one of the few very old Garrason markers in the county. This Ephraim was definitely Thomas' son; he was not the unborn child mentioned in the 1792 will of Thomas' brother Ephraim. It is easy to prove that. [1] Ephraim'swill left a 50 acre tract to his daughter Mary, except if his widow's unborn child was male he was to be named Ephraim and he was to receive that 50 acres instead of Mary. However, in 1816 Mary sold that acreage to Thomas Garrason (b.1764), an act that proved she had not been displaced by a posthumous brother.[2] In 1829 the orphaned daughters of this younger Ephraim received and divided his share of the estate of his deceased brother David B. Garrason. That proves they were nieces of David and granddaughters of Thomas (b. 1764).

5David B. Garrason (b Duplin Co surely 1804 because he was 24 when he diedshortly before the Feb, 1829 term of court in Duplin). He left no wife orchildren, and no will, so his siblings or, if deceased, their children were theheirs to his 530 acres of land. The property was divided into eight shares: [1]Uriah (undoubtedly Darius) Garrason, [2] Amos Kilpatrick husband of ElizabethGarrason, [3] Merrill Williams husband of Mary Ann Garrason, [4] JamesGarrason, [5] James Williams husband of Penelope N.

4Elizabeth Williams (b Duplin Co c1835; d aft 1870) m Jesse W. Speight (b NCc1835; d aft 1870). A. T. Outlaw wrote that they moved to Arkansas, which maybe correct, but if they did, it was after the census of 1870 where they werefound still in Duplin Co. Children:

Whitehead, and likely d/o Bryan andElizabeth Hussey with whom she lived in 1850. One source gives her name asCornelia. He m2 Myrtle Smith. [Haven't checked census for any children.]

-Child (or children) of Sarah who inherited her share of David's estate.
 
9Thomas Garrason, perhaps never called "Jr." (b Duplin Co, NC orperhaps Wilkinson Co, GA by 1812; d Duplin Co at age 16). He did not share inthe estate of his brother, David B. Garrason, who died by Feb 1829, so Thomasmust have died before that date. Click to read about a Wilkinson County, GAresidence for this family.
10Catherine Garrason (b perhaps Wilkinson Co, GA - Jun 1813; d Duplin Co, NC aft1900 ). See Wilkinson Co link above.
