Biography

William Garrett was a Jamestown colonist.

This William came to the Colonies in 1619, on the ship George [[1]]

This is from" Some Early Virginia Garretts" While the Garretts came to Virginia early, the records of the counties have been so hurt by wars that it is exceedingly hard to trace relationship where it really exists. The connection of these first families may never be established. The records show these early arrivals: 1607 William Garrett (Garrit) to Jamestown. He was a bricklayer. (Hotten p. 217). Mentioned by Capt. John Smith (p. 24 Cradle of the Republic). 1607 William Garrett (Jarrett) landed at the time of dissolution of London Company. 1619 William Garrett, servant of Abraham Preasley, age 22. (p. 217 Hotten). 1619 Edmond Garrett, Parish St. James. Had 4 acres of land. 1685 Stephen Garrett, age 19, sailed from England for St. Christophers, on the “Pauls." 1635 Owen Garrett, aged 20, sailed for St. Christophers. 1035 Thomas Francis Garrett, age 25, for Virginia. 1635 Richard West Garrett, age 20, sailed for St. Christopher. 1680 Thomas Garrett and wife, Barbadoes; Parish of St. James. William Garrett came over 1807, patented land in Henrico. There was a William Garrett, a large landowner in Louisa County, b. about 1710-15,m. Elizabeth Ashton, d. about 1780. His son, Capt. Henry Garrett moved to Albemarle Co., later to Ky., b. about 1750,d. 1815 at Lexington, Ky. Soldier Revolution and Captain. It is highly possible that these were kin to Stephen and his son, William, b. about 1750-55, d. 1816, in. Mary Branch Coleman, “near Richmond." since both Henry and this later William had sons named Alexander and since two of William's children, Anne and Bpllsbary C. married Hacketts in Albemarle County. Other Garretts in Buckingham County were of the same line but at this time we cannot trace the relationship and may never be able [[2]]
