bullet  General Notes:

In 1843 the James and Elizabeth Sims Garrett family went to Missouri from North Carolina and stayed. Grown children Jarrett Bolden and William Starling returned to Rockingham Co., N.C. Other Garretts returned occationally for visits.

James Washington Garrett left home with his brother, Robert, to fight for his home and independence in the War of Northern Agression. Robert died in the war (see notes on Robert) but James was discharged due to sickeness after having fought in two battles. After the war he went back to the tobacco business. Various mechants offered as much as 75 cents per pound but he refused to work for Yankees.
