Subject: Was Jeremiah Johnston a GARRISON?
Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2005 13:11:25 -0400


Could someone kindly assist with information about the GARRISON
family? Specifically, I'm searching for the family / descendants of
Isaac and Elizabeth Wilton GARRISON. I believe they lived near
Alexandria or Bethlehem Townships. I know there are some early
interments in the Garrison / Tharp cemetery.

It is said that the famous mountain man, Jeremiah Johnston, was really
a GARRISON born near Little York in Alexandria Township. He was
portrayed in a 1972 film starring Robert Redford. I am attempting to
research whether or not this GARRISN could have been a son of Isaac.

Any ideas or insights would be greatly appreciated.
