Harold, first, please change my email address to gedavies@winnfield.net
   
Now, I think much of what I have is from Mr. Zoller, not sure, but think that's where I got it.  When I worked my Garrison line, I wasn't too concerned about source information as that was a long time ago and I didn't have sense enough then (not sure I have much now) to worry about sources.
   
I have Ephraim b. bef. 1787 in Rockingham, NC, d. 1877 in DeKalb Co., TN, m. to Mary Catherine Thomas Haw in Jan. 1809 in Sumner Co., TN, with 8 children.
   
I show Ephraim as the son of Moses, also with brothers Levi, Samuel, John H.,  Moses Jr., Nehemiah, David, Ephraim Jr., Azariah, & Elizabeth.
   
I can't swear to all the Garrison stuff I've collected over the years.  My g-grandfather got into some sort of killing or maiming scrape in 1874 or about, hightailed it out of Obion Co., to Christian Co., KY for a spell, then to east TX where all outlaws went around the Sabine Strip.  He dropped his Garrison name and took the maiden name of his mother.   So I ain't no expert.  I have however managed to piece mine together enough to know I should be  a Garrison, I guess I am actually.

     THE GARRISONS OF DEKALB COUNTY, TENNESSEE
			
Moses Garrison was born 27 Nov 1737 in  NW Virginia (Probably Orange County). He removed to Old Rowan County, NC between the years 1765 and 1769. As late as 1797 he purchased land in Rockingham Co., NC and in 1800 was listed in the same county. He then moved into Smith County, TN. (about 1807/09), in that part which would later become DeKalb County. He was one of thirty-one charter members of the Old Salem Baptist Church which was organized in Smith Co. in 1809. Moses would remain in Smith County, dying there sometime after the 1820 census. Moses, Sr. (1737) had a total of ten (10) children, including eight sons: Levi, Samuel, John H., Moses Jr.,  Nehemiah, David, Ephraim and Azariah. He also had two daughters which remain unidentified. Levi  moved  into KY. and died there (Simpson County) P1830. Samuel would eventually move into Obion Co., TN where he died in 1846. John H. died P1830 in TN. Moses, Jr. left NC, or possibly Smith Co., TN. and moved into SC and then to Ga. where he died P1860. Nehemiah died in Smith Co., TN. in 1815. David left Smith Co. in 1827 and moved to Jefferson Co., Ill. where he died in 1847.  Ephraim went to Jefferson Co., Ill. with his brother David in 1827 but returned to DeKalb Co., TN. after the 1830 census, where his youngest daughter Rachel was born in 1830. Ephraim lived the remainder of his life in DeKalb Co. dying there in 1877. Ephraim had a total of 11 children of which we have identified three. A son, Basel Garrison, born ca. 1813 and died ca 1839. Ephraim would become guardian of Basel's children, Martha, Ephraim A. and John B.  They were living with Ephraim in the 1850 census. James Hardeman Garrison, a son, who would later remove to Texas where he died in 1875, and Rachel, who never married and died in DeKalb Co. in 1880. We are desperately seeking a list of the children of Ephraim (1788).
Special Note: Our Ephraim (1788) was not, repeat, was not married to Caty Haw
Azariah Garrison, the youngest born of Moses (1737), would eventually settle in Wayne Co., MO. where he died in 1864/5.
Many other descendants remained in DeKalb Co., TN. (In particularly the Liberty/Alexandria areas). The name Garrison has been represented in Smith County since 1809, and that part which became DeKalb County from its inception in 1837.

Hi Harold,
          I come through Moses & Milkey, to Samuel & Miss. Loftis,  to Obadiah  & Elizabeth "Betsey" Calling West, Andrew Jackson Garrison & Glatha Jane Allison to Robert Mansfield Garrison & Ruth Maynard.  Our common ancestor is Moses. Since you ask for suggestions,  I think it is nice in your narrative if you would add the wifes if they are known.  
          I'll do some more searching in census....found Rachel tonight on familysearch.org....1880 Census....Or at least I believe this is her....she's the right age and details of state.

It is good to document everything that we can.....what census records do you need or do you have them all?
