Individual Details
John Garrison
(Abt 1770 - 1823)
Karen Simmons says, "More good news. One of our members whose ancestor was John, son of UNK & Elinor, has now received his 26-37 marker results. He is a perfect match to my third cousin (Zebulon's line), and two descendants of Jedediah. He is just one marker off from another descendant of Zebulon and another descendant of Jedediah. He is just two markers distant from the descendant of Ebenezer, a descendant of Jedediah, and the proposed descendant of Shadrack Garrison."
