Individual Details
Shadrack Garrison
(1770 - 1775 - )
There are now two possible descendants of Shadrack Garrison of Warren County Kentucky who are good matches to each other and also to Zebulon Garrison who we believe was Shadrack's brother. We still have a bit of work to do to prove Shadrack was the father of Caleb Garrison, ancestor of the latest DNA donor, but it's all coming together (Simmons).
Has anyone found our Shadrack Garrison in the 1840 census? In 1830 he was in Warren Co KY. He married Mary Nelson December 9, 1837 in Perry Co IN. He and Mary divorced in 1842 in Perry Co IN. Where was he in 1840?
Sep 21, 2011 news:
Several years ago a descendant of Shadrach Garrison of Barren County Kentucky was tested by Ancestry. Those results were a good match to the members of Group B but Ancestry and FTDNA test different markers so the comparison was less than perfect. As part of the conversion, FTDNA re-tested all 37 markers for this individual. He is a perfect 37/37 match to four member of the group including two descendants of Jedediah and two descendants of Isaiah. In addition there are two markers that Ancestry tested that are part of FTDNA’s 38-67 marker set and he is also a match on those two markers to others in the group who have tested 67 markers.
His lineage is posted below. It is FTDNA policy to not publish identifying information about anyone born after 1905 so that information has been withheld.
