Timeline for James Bromfield Garrett


I first came across James Bromfield Garrett when I was studying Garretts in Madison county Arkansas. To this point I have no connection between James Bromfield Garrett and my husband's John and Stephen Garrett in Benton county Tennessee. But, I have decided to include him in this database, under "Cousins" Garrett, in order to study him further. There is very little evidence to suggest a relationship between James B Garrett and our Garrett family in Benton county Tennessee, but there are two points that caught my attention, both related to my husband's recent yDNA testing:
1. James B Garrett appears in Madison county Arkansas (1860), the location of another of my husband's yDNA matches (David Haines Garrett).
2. James B Garrett's daughter, Minerva Adaline Garrett, marries Joseph Bryant Shannon. Shannon is a surname of particular interest in my husband's yDNA story.
