My research of JAMES B. GARMON / GARMAN.

In my research of JAMES B. GARMON, the Surname Garmon is recorded as GARMON / GARMAN.
The Deed between George W. Garman & James B. Garman is evidence of James B. Garmon as such.
Much time has been spent in searching for the parents of James B. Garmon, by a number of Garmon / Garman researchers. With little if any clues as to whom his parents are. However there is some new thought as to the possibility of him being listed with the family of Samuel and Elizabeth Garmon as J. B. McKinney. In the 1850 Census of Adair County, KY. Compiled by Mrs. Randy H. Flowers and Randy C. Watson 1986. On page 25 No. 317 J. B. McKinney (m) 7 KY. with Sam’l Garmon family. Ten years later in the 1860 Metcalfe Co., Ky. dwelling 136, family 136, census taken June 7, 1860:
         Garman, Samuel, 62, m, farmer, 1,200, 1,500, Vir., can't read or write.
         Elizabeth, 58, f, Vir.,
         Susan, 29, f, Ky.
         Almarine, 18, m, Ky. attended school in year.
         Garman, Samuel E., 20, m, farming, Ky., married in yr.
         Garman, Martha J., 19, f, Ky., married in yr.
         McKinney, James B., 17, m, farmer, 600, 600, Ky.
