 Jedediah Garrison was born and raised in Dupin County, NC. His wife Jane was
 also from North Carolina. In 1790, Jedediah was in the Pendleton District of S. Carolina
 and in 1800 was listed as being in the Greenville District of South Carolina.
 In the spring of 1804, Jedediah and his family moved from South Carolina to
 Franklin County, Georgia. Christopher, being quite old, came with them to Georgia.

 in the land Lottery. It was granted Dec. 21, 1833.
 Mt. Pleasant Methodist Church near Homer, Georgia in Banks County was organized by
 Jedediah Garrison, two of his sons and some cousins. David and Levi Garrison, sons of
 Jedediah, were Methodist ministers. Levi returned to South Carolina and preached on a
 circuit for 10 years. Levi also built and operated the first Cotton Mill in South Carolina.
 Jedediah, his father Christopher, and other members of his family are buried at
