William’s father, given name unknown, appears to have died in 1744 as William was born in Dec 1744, meaning he must have been alive at the beginning of 1744 and died before William was born.

Mary, William’s mother in the Overwharton Parish Register, marries John Kelley in 1745, additional evidence that Wiliam’s father died before he was born.

Mary is identified as the mother of William 1744 Garrison. Her husband, Gnu Garrison, must have died in 1744 before William was born (December) as Mary married John Kelly in 1745.
