Per HO:

James is one of the two brothers (with Moses) who lives longest, and is the one I think is my Robert’s father. He is found in the 1850 census as well as the personal property tax lists for 1851-1856. Then in 1857 it references his “estate” so we can narrow down his death to 1856- 1857.

James and Robert purchase land together (over 300 acres, from James Homes) and they split the land down the middle as far as tax payments go...and then in 1849 James hands over his half to Robert.
I think there is some evidence here to help the theory that James is also the father of Yelverton. Yelverton first shows up in the land tax records in 1828 with 1/2 acre from “Peyton” — but he never appears again with this piece of land. However, in 1829 (the very next year), that 1/2 acre shows up in James’ list, and Yelverton is not on the land tax list again until 1838, when there is an entry for him with a whopping 224 1/2 acres of land, with a note that says “From Rowzee Peyton, not entered in land book for many years.” Yelverton shows up with this land in the tax lists in 1839 and 1840, but disappears again in 1841, and I don’t see any other Garrisons with this land in their possession.
