-- MERGED NOTE ------------
Mr. Outlaw included this information about Thomas Garrason as if he were a son of Ephraim Garrason, which see for reasons this Thomas was brother, not son, of Ephraim.
Thomas Garrison, lived and died in Duplin County, North Carolina. He was born 26 July 1764, and died 10 Jun 1841. His wife Lavina Brock, daughter of Mary Ann (Brosard) and Barnet Brock. She was born 28 Aug 1774, and died 3 January 1840. They were married 19 Dec 1793, and their children were as follows:
Ephraim Garrison, married Margaret Carr, daughter of William Carr and their children were Lucy Ann, married John Carr Mallard, son of Barbara (Carr) and John Mallard; Mary Jane, married Gabriel Boney, son of Dorothy (James) and William Boney; and Margaret Isabella.
Darius Garrison, living in Telfair County, Georgia, in 1842.

Mary Ann Garrison, married Merrell Williams, living in Lee County, Georgia, in 1842.
David B. Garrison, died at twenty-four years of age.
James Garrison, married Mary Catherine Williams, lived in New Hanover County, N. C.
Penelope N. Garrison, married James Williams and their children were: Brosard, killed in Civil War; Mary Ann, married George Rhodes; Catherine, married James Rhodes; Margaret, married Needham M. Brown; Elizabeth, married Jesse Speight and moved to Arkansas; Priscilla, married John Bradshaw and moved to Arkansas; James, married Julia Albertson; David J., married Mrs. Cordelia (Hussey) Whitehead and Myrtle Smith.

Thomas Garrason was born 26 Jul 1764 perhaps in Duplin Co, NC. Thomas died in Duplin Co 10 Jun 1841. He was married 19 Dec 1793 to Lavina Brock. If the marriage occurred in Duplin Co it was not recorded. Lavina was born 28 Aug 1774, place unknown, and died in Duplin Co 3 Jan 1840. Her parents, Barnet Brock and Mary Ann Brosard, were of Huguenot descent.
It would be easy to write that Thomas lived his entire life in Duplin County, but that would not be correct. His household is missing from the census of 1820. That is not surprising because census enumerators were often careless in their work. When this writer attempted to copy and identify every Garr*son from all the Georgia censuses he came upon a Thomas Garrason (age 26-45) with one female (age 45 or over) in his home in Wilkinson County, Georgia [p 207 of that census]. He could not be identified as being of any of the Georgia families. The location, Wilkinson County, was a clue. That is the county where Thomas' nephews David Garrason (b. c1789) and Thomas Garrason (b c1790), sons of Ephraim Garrason, had settled and where the younger Thomas had died in 1814. Click here to read about them. Obviously, Thomas had moved there shortly after 1810, and may have taken all his children with him. The oldest, Ephraim, was about 16 in 1810, Darius (who may have remained in Georgia when Thomas returned to NC) was about 15. Thomas and Lavina had 9 children.
1 Ephraim Garrason (b Duplin Co c1794; 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's will 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). Children:
1 Mary Jane Garrason (b c1822 Duplin Co; d there prob between 1850 & 1860) m c1838 Gabriel Boney (b 1813 Duplin Co; d aft 1860), s/o William Boney and Dorothy James. In 1880 Gabriel was a grocery merchant in business with sons W.J. and D.E. He had remarried a much younger woman and had 6 children ages 3-14 by her. Mary Jane's children:
1 William J. Boney (b Duplin Co - Dec 1839; d aft 1910) grocery merchant with father 1880. He m c1868 Ellen A -- (b NC - Aug 1841; d aft 1910). Children (listed by initials in 1880 census):
1 Bruce C. Boney (b Duplin Co c1870) m c1893 -- -- (b NC c1872). Her name was difficult to read, impossible to determine first letter. Perhaps Ealie, Ellie or Dalie? Children:
1 Norwood Boney (b Duplin Co c1895), a son.
2 Margaret E. Boney (b Duplin Co c1897)
- The 1910 census reported that Bruce's wife had given birth to 4 children
- of whom 2 survived. Nothing is know of the two who died.
2 Sion A. Boney (b Duplin Co c1871) m c1903 Laura M. -- (b NC c1884). Children:
1 Allie H. Boney (b Duplin Co c1904)

3 H- E- Boney (b Duplin Co c1875), a son.
4 Lillie A. Boney (b Duplin Co - Oct 1877)
5 L- E. Boney (b Duplin Co - Oct 1880), a son whose name looked like Lessile but perhaps was Leslie.
6 Augustus Boney (b Duplin Co - Apr 1883)
- Ellen had 2 children who died before 1900. Both that census and the
- one of 1910 report she had 8 children of whom 6 were still living.
2 Dorothy A. Boney (b Duplin Co c1842),
3 Mary C. Boney (b Duplin Co c1844).
4 Gabriel James Boney (b Duplin Co c1845). Single, corn merchant in Wilmington in 1880 census.
5 David E. Boney (b Duplin Co - Apr 1848; d aft 1910) grocery merchant with father in 1880. He m c1870 Frances P- (b NC - Apr 1851). All initials from 1880 census. Children:
1 M- J- Boney (b Duplin Co c1871), a daughter.
2 O- T- Boney (b Duplin Co c1873), a son.
3 Henry F- Boney (b Duplin Co - Oct 1875) m c1898 Mary E. -- (b NC - Feb 1875). Children:
1 Ethel M. Boney (b Duplin Co - Apr 1900)
2 Henry F. Boney, Jr. (b Duplin Co c1902)
3 Hattie F. Boney (b Duplin Co c1908)
- The 1910 census reported that Mary had given birth to 4 children of whom 3 were living. Nothing is know about the child who died.
4 Eugene G. Boney (b Duplin Co - Aug 1877) m c1903 Katie -- (b NC c1880). No children by 1910.
5 George [D. or L.] Boney (b Duplin Co - Sep 1880) age in 1910 suggests YOB was 1884. He m c1908 Alma -- (b NC c1888). No children by 1910.
6 Jimmie/Jennie R. Boney (b Duplin Co - Mar 1884) a daughter
7 Clara Boney (b Duplin Co - Apr 1887)
2 Lucy Ann Garrason (b Duplin Co c1823; d aft 1870) m by 1840 John Carr Mallard (b NC c1813; d aft 1870) s/o John Mallard and Barbara Carr. Children:
1 Alice Mallard (b Duplin Co c1841) 18 y.o. teacher in 1860 census.
2 Susan A. Mallard (b Duplin Co c1845).
3 Ephraim Garrason Mallard (b Duplin Co - Apr 1848; d aft 1900 prob Williamsburg Co, SC) m1 -- -- who apparently d by 1884; m2 c1885 Susan L. -- (b NC - Mar 1866). 1900 census reports Susan was mother of 7 with 5 living. One of hers must not be listed because Nellie's YOB suggests Susan was not her mother. Living with Ephraim's family in 1900 were his sister barbara and his sister-in-law Effie J. Carr (age 23). Ephraim's children:
1 Nellie Mallard (b SC - Nov 1882)
2 Ephraim Mallard (b SC - Jun 1887)
3 James P. Mallard (b SC - Mar 1890)
4 Raymond Mallard (b SC - Apr 1891)
5 John -- Mallard (b SC - Jul 1898) middle name difficult to read, perhaps Truman or Thurman.
- This line represents Susan's unlisted child that was still living in 1900.
- These two lines represent Susan's
- two children who died before 1900.
4 John Mallard (twin, b Duplin Co 1850). [In 1900 in Catawba Twp, York Co, SC there lived a John Mallard (b NC - Apr 1850) with wife Cecilie (b NC - Mar 1860) and son John B. (b SC - Jun 1895). At the present time this writer has no way to determine if he was Lucy's son John.]
5 James Mallard (twin, b Duplin Co1850).
6 William S. Mallard (b Duplin Co c1855).
7 Ada/Ida Mallard (b Duplin Co c1857). Called Ada age 2 in 1860 census, Ida age 13 in 1870.
8 Mary Mallard (b Duplin Co c1860).
9 Dora Mallard (b Duplin Co c1862).
10 Barbara C. Mallard (b Duplin Co - Mar 1867). Living with brother Ephraim in Williamsburg Co, SC in 1900.
3 Mary Isabelle Garrason (b Duplin Co by 1829). Only record of her was that of her sharing in her late father's share of his late brother David B. Garrason's estate.
2 Darius Garrison - his name so spelled because his descendants have consistently used it - (b Duplin Co, NC c1795; d Telfair Co aft 1860) m Telfair Co, GA 16 Sep 1824 to Sarah Harrell (b NC 1808/9; d Telfair Co aft 1870) d/o William Harrell and Mary Catherine Bass. He is not to be confused with his supposed uncle, Darius Garrason (c1772-1838). This writer has info in his files to prepare a detailed list of their descendants but will not do that here. Children from the census:
1 John Garrison (b Telfair Co c1826)
2 Lavenia Garrison (b Telfair Co c1829) m -- Studstill.
3 William Garrison (b Telfair Co c1830)
4 Thomas Garrison (b Telfair Co c1832)
5 Catherine Garrison (b Telfair Co c1834)
6 James Garrison (b Telfair Co c1840)
7 Levi Garrison (b Telfair Co c1843)
8 Mary Ann "Polly" Garrison (b Telfair Co c1845)
9 Darius Garrison, Jr. (b Telfair Co c1847)
- In the 1860 census there was a 5-yr old Margaret Garrison listed in the household. Likely she was a granddaughter?
3 Elizabeth Garrason (b Duplin Co c1797; d there aft Feb 1829 but bef census of 1830) m by 1818 Amos Kilpatrick (b NC c1795; d aft 1870). He recieved, in her right, a share of the estate of her deceased brother, David B. Garrason, in 1829. The 1830 census did not count an adult white female in his household. Children:
1 -- Kilpatrick (b Duplin Co c1819), a male, aged 10-14 in 1830 census,
2 -- Kilpatrick (b Duplin Co c1822), either the male or female aged 5-9 in 1830 census.
3 -- Kilpatrick (b Duplin Co c1822), either the male or female aged 5-9 in 1830 census.
4 Sarah Kilpatrick (b Duplin Co c1829), age 21 in 1850 census.
4 Mary Ann Garrason (b Duplin Co c1801; d Lee now Terrell Co, GA aft 1850) m Duplin Co by 1820 Merrell Williams (b prob NC c1800; d prob Lee mow Terrell Co, GA bef 1850). They were listed in the 1820 Census of Duplin Co [p 18] and in the Crawford Co, GA Census of 1830, next in the listing to her cousin David Garrason (s/o Ephraim) [p ]. They haven't been found in the 1840 census, but A. T. Outlaw's paper said they were in Lee now Terrell County in 1842. She was listed there in 1850 as head-of-household. Children from censuses:
1 -- Williams (b c1822), a daughter.
2 -- Williams (b c1824), a daughter.
3 -- Williams (b c1826), a daughter.
4 -- Williams (b c1828), a daughter.
5 David B. Williams (b GA c1832; d aft 1860) farm laborer, classified an idiot in census; lived with mother in 1850, with brother Merrill T. in 1860.
6 Merrill T. Williams (b GA c1837) possibly m Mary E. -- (b NC c1840). Living with him in 1860 were his brother David, Mary E. and two Stanleys: Eliza (13) and Thomas (9) both born GA.
5 David B. Garrason (b Duplin Co surely 1804 because he was 24 when he died shortly before the Feb, 1829 term of court in Duplin). He left no wife or children, and no will, so his siblings or, if deceased, their children were the heirs to his 530 acres of land. The property was divided into eight shares: [1] Uriah (undoubtedly Darius) Garrason, [2] Amos Kilpatrick husband of Elizabeth Garrason, [3] Merrill Williams husband of Mary Ann Garrason, [4] James Garrason, [5] James Williams husband of Penelope N. Garrason, [6] Catherine Garrason (later to marry John Dobson), [7] the heirs of Ephraim Garrason deceased, and [8] the heirs of Sarah (Garrason) Bostwick.
6 James Garrason (b Duplin Co c1805; d aft 1853 prob New Hanover Co, NC) m1 Mary Catherine Williams (b c1808; d Kenansville, NC 10 Aug 1850), ill, she was enroute to Warren County to obtain some "healing water". He m2 Beaufort Co, NC 19 Jun 1853 Mrs. Mary E. D. Blount. He had lived in New Hanover Co at least since 1841. He had no children.
7 Penelope N. Garrason (b Duplin Co c1807; d there aft 1870 ) m by 1826 James Williams (b NC 1802; d there aft 1870) perhaps s/o Zilpha Williams (b NC c1786) who was living with them in 1850. Children:
1 Brozard Williams CSA (b c1827 Duplin Co; d supposedly in Civil War 1861-65) m c1847 Mary J. -- (b NC c1831). Children:
1 Susan Williams (b Duplin Co c1848)
2 Thomas M. Williams (b Duplin Co 1850) age 1/24 yr on census day 27 Aug 1850.
3 Dorothy C. Williams (b Duplin Co c1854)

5 Franklin Williams (b Duplin Co c1857)
6 -- Williams (b Duplin Co c1859) infant son, 1 yr old, unnamed in 1860 census.
2 Mary Ann Williams (b Duplin Co - Jan 1828 per 1900 census) m George C. Rhodes (b NC c1825; d aft 1870, bef 1900) prob s/o Elizabeth Rhodes (b. 1790) with whom he lived in 1850. In 1900 Mary Ann was living in household headed by inmarried son Iley and including daughters Dolly and Penny. Census of 1900 reports she had 6 children or whom 5 were living. The 1860/70 censuses listed 8 children (unless some were her husband's nieces and/or nephews):
1 Margaret Rhodes (b Duplin Co c1854)
2 George Washington Rhodes (b Duplin Co - Feb 1857; d aft 1900) m c1891 Caroline -- (b NC - Dec 1870; d aft 1900). Children:
1 Clyde Rhodes (b Duplin Co - May 1892), called a daughter in 1900 (and spelled Clide), this person was called a son in the1910 census.

7 Robert J. Rhodes (b Duplin Co - Mar 1868; d aft 1900). His YOB was reported in 1900 as 1870 but he was shown age 2 in that census. He m c1899 Suda -- (b NC - Aug 1875).
8 Iley C. Rhodes (b Duplin Co - Mar 1870; d aft 1900). He was two months old when census was taken 12 Aug 1870; in 1900 his YOB was reported as 1873, a date shown incorrect by that 1870 census. In 1900, with his name spelled "Ila", he was unmarried head of a household that included his mother and sisters Dolly and Penny. He had been m less than a year when the 1910 census was taken. His wife was Barbara C. -- (b NC c1881).
3 Lavina C. Williams (b Duplin Co c1832)
4 Elizabeth Williams (b Duplin Co c1835; d aft 1870) m Jesse W. Speight (b NC c1835; d aft 1870). A. T. Outlaw wrote that they moved to Arkansas, which may be correct, but if they did, it was after the census of 1870 where they were found still in Duplin Co. Children:
1 James L. Speight (b Duplin Co c1856)
2 Lula J. Speight (b Duplin Co c1867)
3 John M. Speight (b Duplin Co c1869)
5 Penelope Williams (b Duplin Co c1837)
6 Margaret Williams (b Duplin Co c1842; d aft 1880) m not long after 1860 census to Needham M. Brown (b NC c1823/6). His 1/w was Sarah -- who d between 1852 and 1869. Margaret's children:
1 Egbert Council Brown (b Duplin Co c1863)
2 Emma T. Brown (b Duplin Co c1865)
3 William W. Brown (b Duplin Co 1869) age 1 yr 4 mo when census was taken on 16 Jul 1870.
4 Eunice Brown (b Duplin Co c1872)
5 Frankie L. Brown (b Duplin Co c1874), name in 1880 census looks like "Frank".
7 James Williams (b Duplin Co - Feb 1845; d aft 1900) m c 1868 Julia Ann Albertson (b NC - Oct 1846; d aft 1900) likely d/o Sam and Lucy Albertson with whom she lived in 1860. Children:
1 Samuel J. Williams (b Duplin Co c1868)
2 Claudius Williams (b Duplin Co 1870) seven months old when census was taken 8 Aug 1870.
3 J. Wesley Williams (b Duplin Co - May 1878)
4 Lucy G. Williams (b Duplin Co - May 1886)
- The 1900 census reported that James' wife had 5 children of whom 4 were living. Nothing is know of that deceased child.
8 David J. Williams (b Duplin Co c1847) m1 Mrs. Cordelia (Hussey) Whitehead (b NC c1844; d unk) supposedly widow of Willie W. Whitehead, and likely d/o Bryan and Elizabeth Hussey with whom she lived in 1850. One source gives her name as Cornelia. He m2 Myrtle Smith. [Haven't checked census for any children.]
9 Priscilla Williams (b Duplin Co c1850) m aft 1870 John Bradshaw. Said to have moved to Arkansas. Known child:
1 Wesley Bradshaw (b prob Duplin Co - Aug 1879) living with mother's brother, James Williams, in 1900 and called his nephew.
8 Sarah Garrason (b Duplin Co c1808; d there by 1829) m probably by 1827 William Bostic (or Bostwick in some records). She apparently had at least one child about whom nothing is known. Sarah's heirs (perhaps "heir" was more accurate) received her part of the estate of her deceased brother, David B. Garrason, in 1829.
- Child (or children) of Sarah who inherited her share of David's estate.
9 Thomas Garrason, perhaps never called "Jr." (b Duplin Co, NC or perhaps Wilkinson Co, GA by 1812; d Duplin Co at age 16). He did not share in the estate of his brother, David B. Garrason, who died by Feb 1829, so Thomas must have died before that date. Click to read about a Wilkinson County, GA residence for this family.
10 Catherine Garrason (b perhaps Wilkinson Co, GA - Jun 1813; d Duplin Co, NC aft 1900 ). See Wilkinson Co link above. Both the 1880 & 1900 censuses report she was b in NC, but it is rare to find any birthplace not given as NC. She m by 17 Aug 1833 (when her father made a deed of gift to her and her hb) to John Dobson (b NC 1805; d aft 1870). In 1880 she lived with son W. P., in 1900 with his widow. Children:
1 Hezekiah Dobson (b Duplin Co c1834) m Margaret -- (b NC c1834). He apparently d before 1880 because in the census of that year his two sons were living with their uncle William Perry Dobson. Children from A. T. Outlaw's sketch:
1 John Richard Dobson (b Duplin Co - Aug 1860; d aft 1900) m c1889 Cora -- (b NC - Aug 1869; d aft 1900). Children: 1 Maggie F. Dobson (b Duplin Co - Aug 1890; living 1910)
2 B- Dobson (b Duplin Co - Nov 1893), a son, name was difficult to read in 1900 census, looked like Burnar or Bumar. Apparently died before 1910 as mother reported she had 5 children of whom 4 were living.
3 Jennie E. Dobson (b Duplin Co - Oct 1895; living 1910)
4 Hubert R. Dobson (b Duplin Co c1902)
5 Richard J. Dobson (b Duplin Co c1908)
2 Thomas Morgan Dobson (b Duplin Co - May 1862; d aft 1900) m c1890 Elizabeth -- (b NC - Feb 1870; d aft 1900). Her middle initial was difficult to read, perhaps Q or T. In 1900 his brother-in-law Bailey Fennell was living with them. Children:
1 Ruth F. Dobson (b Duplin Co - Nov 1891)
2 Wyatt F. Dobson (b Duplin Co - Sep 1894)

3 Thomas Garrason Dobson (b Duplin Co - Jan 1838; d aft 1900) m c1872 Dolly C Williams (b NC - Dec 1852; d aft 1900 but bef 1910) d/o Mary J. Williams who was living with them in 1900. Children:
1 John Dobson (b Duplin Co - Nov 1873)
2 Julian M. Dobson (b Duplin Co - Apr 1875) liv with father in 1910.
3 Edward W. Dobson (b Duplin Co - May 1877)

7 Rosalee Dobson (b Duplin Co - Jan 1885) listed as Rosa Lee in father's home in 1910.
8 Charlie C. Dobson (b Duplin Co - Nov 1886)
- The 1900 census reports that his wife had nine children, of whom eight were living. Nothing is known about the deceased ninth child.
4 Penelope Catherine Dobson (b Duplin Co - Nov 1842; d aft 1900 but bef 1910) m c1874 Calvin J. Bradshaw (b NC - Mar 1847; d aft 1910). Likely she was the female listed as a daughter in the home with Catherine and John Dobson in the 1870 census as Francis C. Dobson, age 27. Children:
1 Laura C. Bradshaw (b Duplin Co c1872; d bef 1900)
2 John W. Bradshaw (b Duplin Co - Jul 1874; d aft 1900)

-- MERGED NOTE ------------
Mr. Outlaw included this information about Thomas Garrason as if he were a son of Ephraim Garrason, which see for reasons this Thomas was brother, not son, of Ephraim.
Thomas Garrison, lived and died in Duplin County, North Carolina. He was born 26 July 1764, and died 10 Jun 1841. His wife Lavina Brock, daughter of Mary Ann (Brosard) and Barnet Brock. She was born 28 Aug 1774, and died 3 January 1840. They were married 19 Dec 1793, and their children were as follows:
Ephraim Garrison, married Margaret Carr, daughter of William Carr and their children were Lucy Ann, married John Carr Mallard, son of Barbara (Carr) and John Mallard; Mary Jane, married Gabriel Boney, son of Dorothy (James) and William Boney; and Margaret Isabella.
Darius Garrison, living in Telfair County, Georgia, in 1842.
Elizabeth Garrison, married Amos Kirkpatrick. [Kilpatrick?]
Mary Ann Garrison, married Merrell Williams, living in Lee County, Georgia, in 1842.
David B. Garrison, died at twenty-four years of age.
James Garrison, married Mary Catherine Williams, lived in New Hanover County, N. C.
Penelope N. Garrison, married James Williams and their children were: Brosard, killed in Civil War; Mary Ann, married George Rhodes; Catherine, married James Rhodes; Margaret, married Needham M. Brown; Elizabeth, married Jesse Speight and moved to Arkansas; Priscilla, married John Bradshaw and moved to Arkansas; James, married Julia Albertson; David J., married Mrs. Cordelia (Hussey) Whitehead and Myrtle Smith.
Sarah Garrison, married William Bostic, and died thirteen months after the marriage.
Thomas Garrison, Jr. died at sixteen years of age.
Catherine Garrison, married John Dobson and their children were: Hezekiah Dobson, married and reared two sons, John Richard and Thomas Morgan Dobson; John wardell Dobson, killed in Civil War; Thomas Garrison Dobson, married Dolly Williams and left a large family; Lavina Dobson, married James Thomas Carrell, and left a large family; Penelope Catherine Dobson, married Calvin Bradshaw and left a large family; William Perry Dobson, married Mary Hollingsworth and left a large family.
Thomas Garrason was born 26 Jul 1764 perhaps in Duplin Co, NC. Thomas died in Duplin Co 10 Jun 1841. He was married 19 Dec 1793 to Lavina Brock. If the marriage occurred in Duplin Co it was not recorded. Lavina was born 28 Aug 1774, place unknown, and died in Duplin Co 3 Jan 1840. Her parents, Barnet Brock and Mary Ann Brosard, were of Huguenot descent.
It would be easy to write that Thomas lived his entire life in Duplin County, but that would not be correct. His household is missing from the census of 1820. That is not surprising because census enumerators were often careless in their work. When this writer attempted to copy and identify every Garr*son from all the Georgia censuses he came upon a Thomas Garrason (age 26-45) with one female (age 45 or over) in his home in Wilkinson County, Georgia [p 207 of that census]. He could not be identified as being of any of the Georgia families. The location, Wilkinson County, was a clue. That is the county where Thomas' nephews David Garrason (b. c1789) and Thomas Garrason (b c1790), sons of Ephraim Garrason, had settled and where the younger Thomas had died in 1814. Click here to read about them. Obviously, Thomas had moved there shortly after 1810, and may have taken all his children with him. The oldest, Ephraim, was about 16 in 1810, Darius (who may have remained in Georgia when Thomas returned to NC) was about 15. Thomas and Lavina had 9 children.
1 Ephraim Garrason (b Duplin Co c1794; 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's will 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). Children:
1 Mary Jane Garrason (b c1822 Duplin Co; d there prob between 1850 & 1860) m c1838 Gabriel Boney (b 1813 Duplin Co; d aft 1860), s/o William Boney and Dorothy James. In 1880 Gabriel was a grocery merchant in business with sons W.J. and D.E. He had remarried a much younger woman and had 6 children ages 3-14 by her. Mary Jane's children:
1 William J. Boney (b Duplin Co - Dec 1839; d aft 1910) grocery merchant with father 1880. He m c1868 Ellen A -- (b NC - Aug 1841; d aft 1910). Children (listed by initials in 1880 census):
1 Bruce C. Boney (b Duplin Co c1870) m c1893 -- -- (b NC c1872). Her name was difficult to read, impossible to determine first letter. Perhaps Ealie, Ellie or Dalie? Children:
1 Norwood Boney (b Duplin Co c1895), a son.
2 Margaret E. Boney (b Duplin Co c1897)
- The 1910 census reported that Bruce's wife had given birth to 4 children
- of whom 2 survived. Nothing is know of the two who died.
2 Sion A. Boney (b Duplin Co c1871) m c1903 Laura M. -- (b NC c1884). Children:
1 Allie H. Boney (b Duplin Co c1904)
2 Lillie A Boney (b Duplin Co c1907)
3 Bettie S. Boney (b Duplin Co 1910) 3 months old when census was taken.
3 H- E- Boney (b Duplin Co c1875), a son.
4 Lillie A. Boney (b Duplin Co - Oct 1877)
5 L- E. Boney (b Duplin Co - Oct 1880), a son whose name looked like Lessile but perhaps was Leslie.
6 Augustus Boney (b Duplin Co - Apr 1883)
- Ellen had 2 children who died before 1900. Both that census and the
- one of 1910 report she had 8 children of whom 6 were still living.
2 Dorothy A. Boney (b Duplin Co c1842),
3 Mary C. Boney (b Duplin Co c1844).
4 Gabriel James Boney (b Duplin Co c1845). Single, corn merchant in Wilmington in 1880 census.
5 David E. Boney (b Duplin Co - Apr 1848; d aft 1910) grocery merchant with father in 1880. He m c1870 Frances P- (b NC - Apr 1851). All initials from 1880 census. Children:
1 M- J- Boney (b Duplin Co c1871), a daughter.
2 O- T- Boney (b Duplin Co c1873), a son.
3 Henry F- Boney (b Duplin Co - Oct 1875) m c1898 Mary E. -- (b NC - Feb 1875). Children:
1 Ethel M. Boney (b Duplin Co - Apr 1900)
2 Henry F. Boney, Jr. (b Duplin Co c1902)
3 Hattie F. Boney (b Duplin Co c1908)
- The 1910 census reported that Mary had given birth to 4 children of whom 3 were living. Nothing is know about the child who died.
4 Eugene G. Boney (b Duplin Co - Aug 1877) m c1903 Katie -- (b NC c1880). No children by 1910.
5 George [D. or L.] Boney (b Duplin Co - Sep 1880) age in 1910 suggests YOB was 1884. He m c1908 Alma -- (b NC c1888). No children by 1910.
6 Jimmie/Jennie R. Boney (b Duplin Co - Mar 1884) a daughter
7 Clara Boney (b Duplin Co - Apr 1887)
2 Lucy Ann Garrason (b Duplin Co c1823; d aft 1870) m by 1840 John Carr Mallard (b NC c1813; d aft 1870) s/o John Mallard and Barbara Carr. Children:
1 Alice Mallard (b Duplin Co c1841) 18 y.o. teacher in 1860 census.
2 Susan A. Mallard (b Duplin Co c1845).
3 Ephraim Garrason Mallard (b Duplin Co - Apr 1848; d aft 1900 prob Williamsburg Co, SC) m1 -- -- who apparently d by 1884; m2 c1885 Susan L. -- (b NC - Mar 1866). 1900 census reports Susan was mother of 7 with 5 living. One of hers must not be listed because Nellie's YOB suggests Susan was not her mother. Living with Ephraim's family in 1900 were his sister barbara and his sister-in-law Effie J. Carr (age 23). Ephraim's children:
1 Nellie Mallard (b SC - Nov 1882)
2 Ephraim Mallard (b SC - Jun 1887)
3 James P. Mallard (b SC - Mar 1890)
4 Raymond Mallard (b SC - Apr 1891)
5 John -- Mallard (b SC - Jul 1898) middle name difficult to read, perhaps Truman or Thurman.
- This line represents Susan's unlisted child that was still living in 1900.
- These two lines represent Susan's
- two children who died before 1900.
4 John Mallard (twin, b Duplin Co 1850). [In 1900 in Catawba Twp, York Co, SC there lived a John Mallard (b NC - Apr 1850) with wife Cecilie (b NC - Mar 1860) and son John B. (b SC - Jun 1895). At the present time this writer has no way to determine if he was Lucy's son John.]
5 James Mallard (twin, b Duplin Co1850).
6 William S. Mallard (b Duplin Co c1855).
7 Ada/Ida Mallard (b Duplin Co c1857). Called Ada age 2 in 1860 census, Ida age 13 in 1870.
8 Mary Mallard (b Duplin Co c1860).
9 Dora Mallard (b Duplin Co c1862).
10 Barbara C. Mallard (b Duplin Co - Mar 1867). Living with brother Ephraim in Williamsburg Co, SC in 1900.
3 Mary Isabelle Garrason (b Duplin Co by 1829). Only record of her was that of her sharing in her late father's share of his late brother David B. Garrason's estate.
2 Darius Garrison - his name so spelled because his descendants have consistently used it - (b Duplin Co, NC c1795; d Telfair Co aft 1860) m Telfair Co, GA 16 Sep 1824 to Sarah Harrell (b NC 1808/9; d Telfair Co aft 1870) d/o William Harrell and Mary Catherine Bass. He is not to be confused with his supposed uncle, Darius Garrason (c1772-1838). This writer has info in his files to prepare a detailed list of their descendants but will not do that here. Children from the census:
1 John Garrison (b Telfair Co c1826)
2 Lavenia Garrison (b Telfair Co c1829) m -- Studstill.
3 William Garrison (b Telfair Co c1830)
4 Thomas Garrison (b Telfair Co c1832)
5 Catherine Garrison (b Telfair Co c1834)
6 James Garrison (b Telfair Co c1840)
7 Levi Garrison (b Telfair Co c1843)
8 Mary Ann "Polly" Garrison (b Telfair Co c1845)
9 Darius Garrison, Jr. (b Telfair Co c1847)
- In the 1860 census there was a 5-yr old Margaret Garrison listed in the household. Likely she was a granddaughter?
3 Elizabeth Garrason (b Duplin Co c1797; d there aft Feb 1829 but bef census of 1830) m by 1818 Amos Kilpatrick (b NC c1795; d aft 1870). He recieved, in her right, a share of the estate of her deceased brother, David B. Garrason, in 1829. The 1830 census did not count an adult white female in his household. Children:
1 -- Kilpatrick (b Duplin Co c1819), a male, aged 10-14 in 1830 census,
2 -- Kilpatrick (b Duplin Co c1822), either the male or female aged 5-9 in 1830 census.
3 -- Kilpatrick (b Duplin Co c1822), either the male or female aged 5-9 in 1830 census.
4 Sarah Kilpatrick (b Duplin Co c1829), age 21 in 1850 census.
4 Mary Ann Garrason (b Duplin Co c1801; d Lee now Terrell Co, GA aft 1850) m Duplin Co by 1820 Merrell Williams (b prob NC c1800; d prob Lee mow Terrell Co, GA bef 1850). They were listed in the 1820 Census of Duplin Co [p 18] and in the Crawford Co, GA Census of 1830, next in the listing to her cousin David Garrason (s/o Ephraim) [p ]. They haven't been found in the 1840 census, but A. T. Outlaw's paper said they were in Lee now Terrell County in 1842. She was listed there in 1850 as head-of-household. Children from censuses:
1 -- Williams (b c1822), a daughter.
2 -- Williams (b c1824), a daughter.
3 -- Williams (b c1826), a daughter.
4 -- Williams (b c1828), a daughter.
5 David B. Williams (b GA c1832; d aft 1860) farm laborer, classified an idiot in census; lived with mother in 1850, with brother Merrill T. in 1860.
6 Merrill T. Williams (b GA c1837) possibly m Mary E. -- (b NC c1840). Living with him in 1860 were his brother David, Mary E. and two Stanleys: Eliza (13) and Thomas (9) both born GA.
5 David B. Garrason (b Duplin Co surely 1804 because he was 24 when he died shortly before the Feb, 1829 term of court in Duplin). He left no wife or children, and no will, so his siblings or, if deceased, their children were the heirs to his 530 acres of land. The property was divided into eight shares: [1] Uriah (undoubtedly Darius) Garrason, [2] Amos Kilpatrick husband of Elizabeth Garrason, [3] Merrill Williams husband of Mary Ann Garrason, [4] James Garrason, [5] James Williams husband of Penelope N. Garrason, [6] Catherine Garrason (later to marry John Dobson), [7] the heirs of Ephraim Garrason deceased, and [8] the heirs of Sarah (Garrason) Bostwick.
6 James Garrason (b Duplin Co c1805; d aft 1853 prob New Hanover Co, NC) m1 Mary Catherine Williams (b c1808; d Kenansville, NC 10 Aug 1850), ill, she was enroute to Warren County to obtain some "healing water". He m2 Beaufort Co, NC 19 Jun 1853 Mrs. Mary E. D. Blount. He had lived in New Hanover Co at least since 1841. He had no children.
7 Penelope N. Garrason (b Duplin Co c1807; d there aft 1870 ) m by 1826 James Williams (b NC 1802; d there aft 1870) perhaps s/o Zilpha Williams (b NC c1786) who was living with them in 1850. Children:
1 Brozard Williams CSA (b c1827 Duplin Co; d supposedly in Civil War 1861-65) m c1847 Mary J. -- (b NC c1831). Children:
1 Susan Williams (b Duplin Co c1848)
2 Thomas M. Williams (b Duplin Co 1850) age 1/24 yr on census day 27 Aug 1850.
3 Dorothy C. Williams (b Duplin Co c1854)
4 George Williams (b Duplin Co c1856)
5 Franklin Williams (b Duplin Co c1857)
6 -- Williams (b Duplin Co c1859) infant son, 1 yr old, unnamed in 1860 census.
2 Mary Ann Williams (b Duplin Co - Jan 1828 per 1900 census) m George C. Rhodes (b NC c1825; d aft 1870, bef 1900) prob s/o Elizabeth Rhodes (b. 1790) with whom he lived in 1850. In 1900 Mary Ann was living in household headed by inmarried son Iley and including daughters Dolly and Penny. Census of 1900 reports she had 6 children or whom 5 were living. The 1860/70 censuses listed 8 children (unless some were her husband's nieces and/or nephews):
1 Margaret Rhodes (b Duplin Co c1854)
2 George Washington Rhodes (b Duplin Co - Feb 1857; d aft 1900) m c1891 Caroline -- (b NC - Dec 1870; d aft 1900). Children:
1 Clyde Rhodes (b Duplin Co - May 1892), called a daughter in 1900 (and spelled Clide), this person was called a son in the1910 census.
2 Edward Rhodes (b Duplin Co- Nov 1894; liv 1910)
3 Nannie Rhodes (b Duplin Co - Apr 1898; liv 1910)

5 Walter Rhodes (b Duplin Co c1906)
6 Bland Rhodes (b Duplin Co c1908), a son.
3 Penelope E. Rhodes (b Duplin Co - Jul 1859) m for 13 yrs to -- Albertson. Not called a widow but living in 1900 in a household headed by unmarried brother Iley and including her mother and sister Dolly.
4 Kitty Rhodes (b Duplin Co c1862)
5 Julia Rhodes (b Duplin Co c1864)
6 Dolly Rhodes (b Duplin Co - May 1866) living 1900 in household headed by unmarried brother Iley and including her mother and sister Penny.
7 Robert J. Rhodes (b Duplin Co - Mar 1868; d aft 1900). His YOB was reported in 1900 as 1870 but he was shown age 2 in that census. He m c1899 Suda -- (b NC - Aug 1875).
8 Iley C. Rhodes (b Duplin Co - Mar 1870; d aft 1900). He was two months old when census was taken 12 Aug 1870; in 1900 his YOB was reported as 1873, a date shown incorrect by that 1870 census. In 1900, with his name spelled "Ila", he was unmarried head of a household that included his mother and sisters Dolly and Penny. He had been m less than a year when the 1910 census was taken. His wife was Barbara C. -- (b NC c1881).
3 Lavina C. Williams (b Duplin Co c1832)
4 Elizabeth Williams (b Duplin Co c1835; d aft 1870) m Jesse W. Speight (b NC c1835; d aft 1870). A. T. Outlaw wrote that they moved to Arkansas, which may be correct, but if they did, it was after the census of 1870 where they were found still in Duplin Co. Children:
1 James L. Speight (b Duplin Co c1856)
2 Lula J. Speight (b Duplin Co c1867)
3 John M. Speight (b Duplin Co c1869)
5 Penelope Williams (b Duplin Co c1837)
6 Margaret Williams (b Duplin Co c1842; d aft 1880) m not long after 1860 census to Needham M. Brown (b NC c1823/6). His 1/w was Sarah -- who d between 1852 and 1869. Margaret's children:
1 Egbert Council Brown (b Duplin Co c1863)
2 Emma T. Brown (b Duplin Co c1865)
3 William W. Brown (b Duplin Co 1869) age 1 yr 4 mo when census was taken on 16 Jul 1870.
4 Eunice Brown (b Duplin Co c1872)
5 Frankie L. Brown (b Duplin Co c1874), name in 1880 census looks like "Frank".
7 James Williams (b Duplin Co - Feb 1845; d aft 1900) m c 1868 Julia Ann Albertson (b NC - Oct 1846; d aft 1900) likely d/o Sam and Lucy Albertson with whom she lived in 1860. Children:
1 Samuel J. Williams (b Duplin Co c1868)
2 Claudius Williams (b Duplin Co 1870) seven months old when census was taken 8 Aug 1870.
3 J. Wesley Williams (b Duplin Co - May 1878)
4 Lucy G. Williams (b Duplin Co - May 1886)
- The 1900 census reported that James' wife had 5 children of whom 4 were living. Nothing is know of that deceased child.
8 David J. Williams (b Duplin Co c1847) m1 Mrs. Cordelia (Hussey) Whitehead (b NC c1844; d unk) supposedly widow of Willie W. Whitehead, and likely d/o Bryan and Elizabeth Hussey with whom she lived in 1850. One source gives her name as Cornelia. He m2 Myrtle Smith. [Haven't checked census for any children.]
9 Priscilla Williams (b Duplin Co c1850) m aft 1870 John Bradshaw. Said to have moved to Arkansas. Known child:
1 Wesley Bradshaw (b prob Duplin Co - Aug 1879) living with mother's brother, James Williams, in 1900 and called his nephew.
8 Sarah Garrason (b Duplin Co c1808; d there by 1829) m probably by 1827 William Bostic (or Bostwick in some records). She apparently had at least one child about whom nothing is known. Sarah's heirs (perhaps "heir" was more accurate) received her part of the estate of her deceased brother, David B. Garrason, in 1829.
- Child (or children) of Sarah who inherited her share of David's estate.
9 Thomas Garrason, perhaps never called "Jr." (b Duplin Co, NC or perhaps Wilkinson Co, GA by 1812; d Duplin Co at age 16). He did not share in the estate of his brother, David B. Garrason, who died by Feb 1829, so Thomas must have died before that date. Click to read about a Wilkinson County, GA residence for this family.
10 Catherine Garrason (b perhaps Wilkinson Co, GA - Jun 1813; d Duplin Co, NC aft 1900 ). See Wilkinson Co link above. Both the 1880 & 1900 censuses report she was b in NC, but it is rare to find any birthplace not given as NC. She m by 17 Aug 1833 (when her father made a deed of gift to her and her hb) to John Dobson (b NC 1805; d aft 1870). In 1880 she lived with son W. P., in 1900 with his widow. Children:
1 Hezekiah Dobson (b Duplin Co c1834) m Margaret -- (b NC c1834). He apparently d before 1880 because in the census of that year his two sons were living with their uncle William Perry Dobson. Children from A. T. Outlaw's sketch:
1 John Richard Dobson (b Duplin Co - Aug 1860; d aft 1900) m c1889 Cora -- (b NC - Aug 1869; d aft 1900). Children: 1 Maggie F. Dobson (b Duplin Co - Aug 1890; living 1910)
2 B- Dobson (b Duplin Co - Nov 1893), a son, name was difficult to read in 1900 census, looked like Burnar or Bumar. Apparently died before 1910 as mother reported she had 5 children of whom 4 were living.
3 Jennie E. Dobson (b Duplin Co - Oct 1895; living 1910)
4 Hubert R. Dobson (b Duplin Co c1902)
5 Richard J. Dobson (b Duplin Co c1908)
2 Thomas Morgan Dobson (b Duplin Co - May 1862; d aft 1900) m c1890 Elizabeth -- (b NC - Feb 1870; d aft 1900). Her middle initial was difficult to read, perhaps Q or T. In 1900 his brother-in-law Bailey Fennell was living with them. Children:
1 Ruth F. Dobson (b Duplin Co - Nov 1891)
2 Wyatt F. Dobson (b Duplin Co - Sep 1894)
3 Eugene F. Dobson (b Duplin Co - Mar 1899)
2 Lavina J. Dobson (b Duplin Co c1836)
3 Thomas Garrason Dobson (b Duplin Co - Jan 1838; d aft 1900) m c1872 Dolly C Williams (b NC - Dec 1852; d aft 1900 but bef 1910) d/o Mary J. Williams who was living with them in 1900. Children:
1 John Dobson (b Duplin Co - Nov 1873)
2 Julian M. Dobson (b Duplin Co - Apr 1875) liv with father in 1910.
3 Edward W. Dobson (b Duplin Co - May 1877)
4 Thomas J. Dobson (b Duplin Co - Apr 1879) m c1909 Mary T. -- (b NC c1885), working as a conductor and living in Wilmington, NC in 1910.
5 Josephine Dobson (b Duplin Co - Feb 1881)
6 Hezekiah Dobson (b Duplin Co - Dec 1882)
7 Rosalee Dobson (b Duplin Co - Jan 1885) listed as Rosa Lee in father's home in 1910.
8 Charlie C. Dobson (b Duplin Co - Nov 1886)
- The 1900 census reports that his wife had nine children, of whom eight were living. Nothing is known about the deceased ninth child.
4 Penelope Catherine Dobson (b Duplin Co - Nov 1842; d aft 1900 but bef 1910) m c1874 Calvin J. Bradshaw (b NC - Mar 1847; d aft 1910). Likely she was the female listed as a daughter in the home with Catherine and John Dobson in the 1870 census as Francis C. Dobson, age 27. Children:
1 Laura C. Bradshaw (b Duplin Co c1872; d bef 1900)
2 John W. Bradshaw (b Duplin Co - Jul 1874; d aft 1900)
3 Dexter J. Bradshaw (b Duplin Co - Sep 1877) at home 1910.
