Hi Karen & Carol,

Thank you very much for the correction on the dates of birth! :)

Carol, the info you sent me on Edward GARRETT of VA, could
not be my Edward GARRETT but thank you so very much for all the
info on that GARRETT Line.

On my Edward GARRETT's Line--some did settle in Delaware Co. & the
State of Delaware! More on this late. :)

Here is some more info on the GARRETTs in Maryland--could some
of them be brothers that settled in PA-MD-VA in the late 1600s?

27 Jun 1679 Som "Hopewell" 100 acres was purchased by John
GARRET
19 Nov 1686 Tal "Bloomsbury" 400 acres was purchased by Col.
Richard HOPEWELL of Calvert Co.
19 Mar 1756 QA "Garrett's Lookout" 426 acres was purchased by
Edward GARRETT

Ref: "Settlers of MARYLAND" by Peter Wilson Coldham
NOTE: John GARRET is the first GARRETT to purchased land in MD &
named this land "Hopewell." A Col. Richard HOPEWELL name's his
land "Bloomsbury." "Bloomsbury" goes on to be named "Garrett's
Lookout" by Edward GARRETT--could there be a connection here?
