Biography

Stephen Garrison is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A130000.
The Family of Man
Per their DNA, the humans of the earth have been divided into groups called Haplogroups. Each Haplogroup is assigned a letter of the alphabet and may be followed by additional numbers and letters to further define it. The Garrisons of the United States fall into three of these Haplogroups. Each has different DNA and so they are not related to each other but are distinct. The three Garrison Haplogroups are R (the largest group), then I (letter after H) and, lastly, those of Stephen's family-- E. Specifically it is E-L117 (aka E-M35).[1] DNA testing showed that the Garrisons descended from Stephen, found mostly in Alabama, are related to two other bunches of Garrisons (also E-L117), found mostly in Missouri. However, we are still trying to find the actual persons that our three groups have in common. Stephen Garrison (1757-1841) was a Revolutionary War soldier in the Fourth North Carolina Line who served for three years and eight months. He was in St. Clair County, Alabama for the 1820 census. The Missouri Garrisons trace their ancestry back to Paul Garrison born 1715 in Maryland. He, also, was once in North Carolina. The last Garrison group is traced back to John Wesley Garrison born 1832 who was in North Carolina. We have not been able to find any documentation as to who Stephen's parents were or who his wife or wives were. If you have any info on the family please share it. Thanks. (Note: Myself and a cousin have had our DNA tested as have three males in the Missouri branch of the family. Hopefully more male Garrisons from NC, VA,MD,TN and others states will get tested.)

Hancock Co. was then formed from Walker Co. Finally Winston was formed from Hancock. So Stephen died and was buried in Walker Co. Stephen is still in the 5 grave Payne-Garrison Cemetery but the cemetery is now in Winston Co., Al.
"The Buncombe bill" was ratified on January 14, 1792. The new county included most of Western North Carolina and was so large it was commonly referred to it as the "State of Buncombe." https://www.buncombecounty.org/about-bc/buncombe-government/history.aspx. Based on his RW enlistment in Surry co, (1779) he may have been born in Rowan county (created 1753). If his parents were Paul and Margaret Garrison, Botetourt co., VA is also a possibility. There were several Garrison families in the area of Abbot's Creek, in Davidson co. (now Forsyth co. NC) which was created from Rowan in 1822.
