Notes for SAMUEL GARRISON, SR.:

Samuel, son of Moses, was married twice and the order of marriages, children are not certain. It is believed he had two sets of children by the two wives, but again, not sure. The five children listed with wife Lucinda may not all have been by her and the combination is uncertain.

According to Mr. Dave Zolle , "Moses, the father of Samuel and Ephraim, owned land in Rockingham Co., NC at the time of both of their births," hence, their birthplaces were Rockingham, NC. Further he says "they both were in Smith Co., TN by 1810 and stayed there until after 1834. Samuel left and was on the 1840 Census of Jefferson Co., IL. He then went to Obion Co., TN where he died....Samuel received a land grant so he must have been in the Revolutionary War or War of 1812."

Notes from Sandy Garrison-Cooper: 7-1-01 in article below..

Samuel Garrison Sr., an older brother to Azariah Garrison, moved from Rockingham County, N.C., to Smith County, Tenn., before 1809.  He later lived in Saline County, Ill., and till later in Obion County, Tenn where he died."

NEWSPAPER ARTICLE: Dated: 
Kime, MO. & the Papers of H. Y. MABREY  by Cletis R. Ellinghouse. Editor, Puxico Press
Note:  Kime is in Wayne Co.,MO

(two pictures included with article, one of John W. Garrison and son Stanley Garrison, and one group setting taken about 1939.)

Family fled native France because of religious persecution

Garrison surname was long identified with Kime,Mo  

35th in the series.

Probably no other surname was so closely identified for so long with Kime as Garrison, the family that provided the first and last postmasters, David L.(Lemmy) Garrison (1870-1912) and John W. Garrison (1913-1993). They were third cousins.

The pioneer in Wayne County, Azariah Garrison (1788-1860s), was a native of North Carolina who arrived in the 1850s from Humphreys County, Tenn., with his second wife, Rebecca (Phanatti) Garrison, and their family.
Azariah Garrisons son John F. Garrison (1850-1912) was the father of John F. Ed Garrison (1885-1974) and grandfather of John W. Garrison.
According to family sources, Azariah Garrison was a son of Moses Garrison (1737-1820s), a native of Virginia who spent several years in North Carolina before moving to Smith County, Tenn., where he died. Moses Garrison was one of 31 charter members of the Old Salem Baptist Church organized there in 1809. (note..this church is in Liberty,Dekalb,Tenn...ELJ)

The ancestors of Moses Garrison were French Huguenots who fled homes in their native land to escape religious persecution. They came in America from England long before the Revolutionary War.

                                         *

Upon his arrival in Wayne County, Azariah Garrison made his home across the St. Francis River form the site of Kime on land originally awarded to
James Caldwell by the Spanish government.

His wife died before the outbreak of the Civil Was and he died during the war. They are buried at the very old Garrison Cemetery, which
occasionally is under the waters of Lake Wappapello and is not far from where they lived.

Another of the graves is that of their eldest son William Levi Garrison (1832-1884), one of many in the area who served in Company H, 31st
Infantry, during the Civil War.

Levi Garrison and his wife, Mariah (Hamilton) Garrison, lived and farmed on the west side of the river but later owned a property south of Kime
near the river on the east side, according to land records.

The property of Levi Garrisons son, William A. Bill Garrison (1868-1956), and his wife, Rosetta (Meloy) Garrison (1876-1938), was on the
east side of Holladay Bridge and may have been his fathers place.

One of the sources for information in this article, Sherrie Plummer of Centralia, Mo., is a great-great granddaughter of Rebecca (Garrison)
Birmingham, the wife of James Birmingham and a daughter of William Levi Garrison.

Another stone at the old cemetery marks the grave of Mary Ann (Garrison) Jones (1866-1931), the daughter of Levi Garrison and the second wife
of Oak Grove Baptist Church member William T. Jones (1851-1936) whose father, John Jones, lived nearby.

John F. Garrison and his wife, Mary E. (Atnip) (Rainwater) Garrison (1852-1892), are also buried in the old cemetery that is not far from the site
of the log home they occupied.

The adjoining farms of their sons, John Edward Ed Garrison, George Azariah Garrison (1887-1941) and school teacher Henry Archie
Garrison (1890-1958), were north of Holliday Landing.

                                         *

The wives of George Garrison and Archie Garrison were sister, respectively Maggie Seabaugh and Virgie Seabaugh, daughters of Andrew J.
Seabaugh and Martha (Deaton) Seabaugh, a pioneer Kime family with extensive land holdings.

Hattie Garrison, an older sister who never married, raised her three younger brothers after their mothers early death.

Another sister, Charlotte Isabella (Garrison) Estes (1876-1907), was the first wife of Benjamin F. Estes (1870-1961), who was widely known as
a sawmill operator in the neighborhood. He was a son of Union Army soldier John F. Estes.

Willard A. Garrison (1911-1996), a son of Archie Garrison, was widely known. He was superintendent of schools at Neelyville, Williamsville
and Annapolis and later director of education at Sears youth Center in Poplar Bluff. He was chairman of the Poplar Bluff School board in the 1950s. A
sister, Gladys (Garrison) Page, the widow of Floyd Shorty Page, lives in Poplar Bluff.

Mabel (Garrison) Smith, the wife of Tom Smith, and Lois (Garrison) Strickland, the wife of Russell Strickland, were George A. Garrisons
children.

                                         *

Wayne B. Garrison of Poplar Bluff, the younger son of Ed Garrison and Mollie (Jackson) Garrison (1894-1988), says he, his brother and sister,
Hazel (Garrison) (Penrod) Woods, attended New liberty School that Claude Libla and his wife taught for a number of years. Raymond Holladay, Lyman
Aldrich and Jim Page were among the neighbors he recalled. Mr. Garrison for a time lived in the home of his brother at Kime and attended Oak Grove
School. Miss Helen Rhodes, a daughter of Ira L. Rhodes, was his teacher.

The move across the river to Kime came about after John w. Garrison and his father, who served on the board of Wayne County Bank at
Greenville, acquired the properties of the deceased David Cozort. John W. Garrison and his family lived in the Cozort home behind the store while he
was the postmaster and store owner at Kime.

After the Kime post office was closed and razed, John W. Garrison moved to the Paterson area and shortly thereafter carried the mail from
Greenville to Kime and Shook. When he vacated the Cozort home Simon P. Noldge (1878-1958) and Margaret (White) Noldge (1881-1965), the parents
of his wife, Gladys, moved in.

The Garrisons son, Stanley Stan Garrison, says his grandparents moved to the Cozort home from the mill house, which was across the
road from the store. It was a two-story building that once housed the Cozort Flour Mill. Over the years, several rented it from the Garrisons and made it
their home.

With the post office gone, several mail boxes were erected in a row along the road not far from the Noldge home. Families gathered in the
Noldge living room to visit while they waited for the mail carrier to arrive, much like they earlier had done in the store building. Bazzell, Seabaugh,
Ruess and Crutchfield families were among those Mr. Garrison recalled.

He said his grandparents lived in the Cozort home until the big flood of 1945 forced them out. Water was knee deep and their furniture elevated
on blocks to keep it dry when they called it quits. Mr. Noldge, a black-..

John w. Garrison several years later became the Wayne County treasurer and held that post for many years. After the death of Gladys (Noldge)
Garrison, (1917-1976), he was married to Dorothy Whelan (1926-1996).

Stan Garrison, a Fredericktown banker, values an old clock he has in his possession that once was a part of his fathers store at Kime. He likely
is Kimes youngest native son, since he was born in the Cozort home in 1938. His son, Darren Garrison, is presently Wayne County circuit clerk.

                                         *

Kimes first postmaster, David L. Lemmy Garrison, was the only child of William Thomas Garrison (1845-1870s), who died not long after
his arrival in Wayne county and his subsequent marriage to Margaret (Epley) Garrison.

Thomas Garrison, a son of Samuel Garrison Jr. (1812-1879) and Roseanna (Cobb) Garrison (1822-) was a grandson of Samuel Garrison Sr.
(1765-1846).

Samuel Garrison Sr., an older brother to Azariah Garrison, moved from Rockingham County, N.C., to Smith county, Tenn., before 1809. He
later lived in Saline County, Ill., and till later in Obion County, Tenn. Where he died.

The family of Samuel Garrison Jr. was living in Obion County, Tenn., in 1850, in which census his wife Roseanna was described as a
Cherokee Indian. The place of his death is not known. She and her family first appeared in the U. S. Census in Wayne County in 1870;

The several Garrison families lived for the next 20 years near on another on the west side of the river not far from where the pioneer settled in the
1850s.

H. Y. Mabrey note: Married Archie Garrison to Virgie Seabaugh, and Byrd Nelson to Clara Jones Dec. 24, 1910.
