Is this who you are looking for?
Yes that is who I am looking for I was just looking for the actual file and found someone that has it. Physical description of Daniel Garrett is: Dark complexion, 5’10” tall, black hair and eyes.
Thought that was interesting since he was the grandfather to my Mourning Napier. Hettie’s maiden name is also listed as DAY in that pension file.

ROFLMBO? My pain in the butt family is the Farmer family. I can get my friends genealogies back to 1600’s, but this Adam Farmer. No such luck.
Adam has kids by the name of Asa & Augustus. You would think it would be pretty easy to work with, but I’ve looked at soooo many Farmers they are starting to blur together!

Have you noticed any Pennsylvania connection. Like they went PA>VA>KY >OH I’m seeing alot of similarities in these groups. Has anyone heard about any Dutch Reformed (Quakers) immigrants getting lost in Ky and then just stuck around? Gotta love the Natives and the Preachers-won’t hold still a second!
