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.

In 1986, when I first
started researching my Garmon line in Metcalfe Co., I made copies of all
of the Garmon marriages in the
courthouse at Edmonton
that I could find. I knew very little about my Garmon line at that time,
so gathered all the Garmon
info I could find
while in the courthouse. After I got back to Texas, tried to put it all
together!
