Notes for Rufus K Garrison
Presumption: Rufus K. is grandson of Revolutionary War John Garrison; John’s sons identified as James, Moses, Jesse, John, and William
Presumption: Rufus, his mother, grandmother (Elizabeth Ennis Garrison), and one of his aunts (Nancy or Elizabeth) are living together in 1820 census.
Presumption: Rufus was the son of William Garrison.
1810 Census, Elizabeth (Ennis) Garrison HOH:
1 male under 10: Rufus
1 male 26-44: William, Rufus’ father
2 females 26-44: William’s wife and Elizabeth, daughter of Rev War John and Elizabeth Ennis
1 female 45 and over: Elizabeth Ennis Garrison, head of household in 1810.
Rufus married Margaret Courtney in 1826. This means Rufus probably would have been in his parents household before his marriage. Because he is head of household in 1820, he appears to be living with his mother, grandmother, and aunt. This also means his father, who I believe was William, died before 1820.
