How to find cemetery up on hill ....according to Hubert Allison and my cousin, Elma....
Nashville..Interstate 40  to Lebanon/Watertown turn off....20 miles....
To Liberty or Watertown.....store in middle of no where ...main road...on left from Watertown.  Talked to Robinson (runs store)  Has book....He told us how to find.  Went up hill....had to wade through grass....No name on Cemetery.....


E-mail from Sandy Garrison Cooper....11-16-00   In reference to missing grave stone near Liberty, Tenn.
A letter from Doris Gilbert, dated 9 FEB. 87, "Obadiahs rock has  disappeared within the last year, according to Mr. Robinson."  
Sandy also wrote:
Doris Gilbert is connected through James L. Garrison and Rebecca  Malone.  He is older son of Obediah.
I was corresponding with her back in 86-88.  She lives in  Smithville, TN  37166, Route 2 Box 15.  She and some other were working on a  project to  copy all the tombstones in the graveyards.

This clue, along with a obituary of one of these sisters, and a death certificate was what tied A.J. Garrison to Obadiah Garrison...On her death certificate it named her parents, which were also his.  These sisters were also on census with Obadiah Garrison who was head of household.

DEATH:
Obadiah's  1862 death date in old Bible in possession of Carl Van Atta, Donelson, Tennessee.  I saw Mr. Van Atta and handled the Bible.  He has passed away and I do not know who received the Bibles ...six or seven of them after his death.  Annie Parker of Nashville was the contact with Mr. Van Atta. They both would be deceased by now....At any rate...there was only a brief listing of Obadiah....and death 1862."

The Dales of Eastern Shore Maryland and Tennessee. By Clarice Neal (FHL...SLC)
Letter from Clarice Neal, author of book, "The Dales of Eastern Shore
   Letter from Clarice Neal (Mrs. Joe W.), 2209 Shoal Creek, Austin, Texas 78705 to Eleanor L. Johnson, 530 S. 4th St.,Las Vegas, Nevada 89101, in which she says, "If Obediah Garrison is still your ancestor--who married Betsy West, they lived and are buried on the top of a hill outside of Liberty,(Tenn) on (now) Robert Robertson's property.  Obediah d. 1862  and Betsy 1866---Tombstone still standing.  I found after getting book ready for publication."

CEMETERY STONES....Pictures in file..    .on hillside near Liberty, Tennessee
Stone reads:  "OBEDIAH M. GARRISON  BORN  JULY 25, 1794   DIED  AUG. 20, 1862"
His wifes stone reads:  "ELIZABETH  C. GARRISON  BORN  JUNE 12, 1792  DIED  JUNE 5, 1862"

See Robert Roberson and wife....Malone, Box 218, Liberty, Tenn. for directions to the property on which lies the graves.  On the stone, Obadiah is spelled Obediah Garrison.....
Elma Nash Allison (Jane Nash's sister sent photos after I told her who to contact in Dekalb County (see notebook on Garrison Family in my possession).

GRAVE LOCATION:
Directions to grave stones:  From Elma Nash Allison.  As you drive into Liberty from Cookeville, there is a little store on the right.  Go further, about 1/4 mile to 1/2 mile and turn right at road.  About another 1/4 mile you come to a house. Go thru pasture and walk up on top the hillside.  There are the stones of Obadiah and Betsy Calling West Garrison and Pinkney Taylor with names on the stones.  There may be other stones there.  Robert Roberson and wife run the store I believe..They could help..

I tracked my Obadiah via the Missouri & Tennessee census.
He was the son of Obadiah b. 1846, son of Sammuel, son of Obadiah M. Garrison b. 1794.  Thanks again because it gave me a place to start looking.

Samuel Garrison shows up in the August 29, 1850 Census for the 1st District, Obion County, Tennessee as age 32, wife Rosanna 28 and children, Obadiah 9, Martha 5, Thomas 4, John 2, and Tennesse <1. He does not show up with Rosanna in Missouri census of 1870. Joel and his wife Nancy also had a child named Obadiah born about 1844 according to the same census dated 8/30/1850:
Joel 29, wagon maker, Nancy 26, James 9, William 8, Obadiah 6. I am still researching the migration to Missouri but am thinking Samuel's son Obadiah married Andrew J's daughter Sarah E.  The Obadiah and Sarah E. in the July 28, 1870 St. Francois Co., MO. census are indicated as not reading or writing. They are farming with Thomas Strickland who it turns out is one of my gggrandfathers. Rosanna shows 4 more children in the 1870 census: Mafield 18, Nathaniel 17, Matilda, Susan 12.

Samuel Garrison shows up in the August 29, 1850 Census for the 1st District, Obion County, Tennessee as age 32, wife Rosanna 28 and children, Obadiah 9, Martha 5, Thomas 4, John 2, and Tennesse 
1. He does not show up with Rosanna in Missouri census of 1870. 
Joel and his wife Nancy also had a child named Obadiah born about 1844 according to the same census dated 8/30/1850:
Joel 29, wagon maker, Nancy 26, James 9, William 8, Obadiah 6.
   I am still researching the migration to Missouri but am thinking Samuel's son Obadiah married Andrew J's daughter Sarah E. 
   The Obadiah and Sarah E. in the July 28, 1870 St. Francois Co., MO. census are indicated as not reading or writing. They are farming with Thomas Strickland who it turns out is one of my gggrandfathers. Rosanna shows 4 more children in the 1870 census: Mafield 18, Nathaniel 17, Matilda, Susan 12.

DEATH:
In letters written by Glatha Jane Allison, wife of Andrew Jackson Garrison,
she talks of the children going to their fathers grave and crying for him.  I believe he was buried near their home in Wesley, Madison County, Arkansas.
However, a relative also stated that they were buried in Little Rock, Arkansas and that there were no grave stones to mark the grave.  It is possible that their bodied were moved to Little Rock, but I do not know why  that would have occured unless it was because he had been a Captain in the Civil War in Tennessee.

CIVIL WAR RECORDS & PENSION:
National Archives,Washington,D.C.:  There are about 200 pages of records on Andrew Jackson Garrison pertaining to his Civil War service, pension applications from him, his widow, and then his mother-in-law who raised the children after the parents death.   Eleanor Johnson (c/o 530 S.4th St,Las Vegas,Nv 89101) have copies of many of these records.

This clue, along with an obituary of one of these sisters and a death certificate was the information that tied Andrew Jackson Garrison to his parents, Obadiah Garrison and his wife, Elizabeth "Betsy" Calling West.  On the sisters death certificate it named her parents (which were also his). These sisters were also on the 1850 Census for Dekalb County with their parents..

His pension records...A.J. GARRISON CIVIL WAR PENSION RECORDS WC 364 921 221PGS

Narration on Garrison Family by Eleanor L. Johnson 12/1999
        Regarding the history of Grandpa & Grandma Garrison.  Ruth Angeline Maynard's father was Ezekiel Maynard and his father was, Andrew Maynard of South Carolina.  On the Maynard lines, there is little past that point as it is a difficult research problem.
        On the Garrison line:  Robert Mansfield Garrison's parents were Andrew Jackson Garrison and Glatha Jane Allison.  He was a Captain in the Civil War with the Union Army.  There are over 200 pages of records on him in the National Archives.  He was wounded during the war and applied for a pension. He died in 1885 in Arkansas and then his wife, Glatha Jane, applied for a pension.  She died in 1886 and all six children were left orphans and taken back to Tennessee and raised by their grandmother, Elizabeth Peggy Clark Allison.  The Garrison line has been another difficult research problem but have had some success working on it.  It now goes back to France in the 1500's.
Found that Obadiah Garrison and Elizabeth Calling West were in the census records.  From one document in
A.J.Garrison's penions and military file, it opened up the case.  A William Brattan stated that 2 of his brothers married 2 of Andrew's sisters.  So, to make a long story short, when tracing one of the sisters death records it stated that Obadiah and Elizabeth were her parents...thus Andrew's parents also.  A deed that I found in Court House in DeKalb County..Obadiah stated that "this property was given to me by my father, Samuel Garrison."  That one statement tied us into a book on Isaac Garrison Family and it runs back to France.  
      This is just some of the information...Hopefully the old letters and pictures , and research can all be gathered into a little publication and shared with the family.  Some is on internet through familysearch.org

ANDREW JACKSON GARRISON (1830-1885)
By Sandra E. Garrison (great-granddaughter)
     Andrew was one of several children belonging to Obadiah M. GARRISON (25 JUL 1794, NC - 20 AUG 1862, TN) and Elizabeth 'Betsy' Calling WEST (12 JUN 1792, MD - 5 JUN 1866, TN). He was born in Smith County, TN, 30 AUG 1830.
    Other than a case of worms treated by John A. Fuson, MD (his father's family physician) Andrew enjoyed a healthy childhood.
    He married his first bride, Narcissa PRIDY, at the old Salem Baptist Church in Dekalb County, TN, 8 NOV 1848.  They had at least four children all born in Dekalb County:
	1. Sarah Elizabeth, b. ca 1849  m. 26 DEC 1867, Jasper Kunnells or Reynolds.
	2. Matilda Jane, b. ca 1851 d. by 1855
	3. Martha Samantha  'Mattie', b. ca 1854, m. 5 SEP 1872, James W.  Mason.	
	4. Andrew Jackson Jr., b. 15 MAR 1863 d. 24 JUL 1934, m. 9 SEP 1888, Alice E. Dean. (They had 14 children.)
     Andrew received a pistol shot in the side during a quarrel with three rebels who were home on furlough in Liberty, TN.  They jumped him because he was a union man.  His friend, Monroe Adkins, accidentally shot him while attempting to shoot the rebel Andrew was fighting.  Later during the war Monroe is said to have been killed by Andrew.
     30 July 1862, at the age of 31, Andrew joined the Union Army.  He volunteered with the First Regiment of Middle Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry.  In the Battle of Stones he received a slight pistol wound to the left shoulder.  January 1863, he was promoted to Sargent with Company A.
     In January 1863, under the command of General Stanley, the company was on a scouting expedition in pursuit of General Forrest and at the same time attempting to reinforce the troops at Fort Donelson.  While crossing Big Harpers River, about 75 miles west of Nashville, Andrew's horse fell and caught him under it.  It was an extremely cold day and he remained in that condition until Corp'l William R. Bratten, Duty Sargent Levi Woodside (who ate and bunked with Andrew), Captain Joseph H. Blackburn, and other soldiers pulled the horse off of him and carried him to the bank.  He was badly injured (right hip, knee, and back) and wet.  Because they were in enemy country Andrew was put back on his horse and th
