    Notes 

    • There is a Jackson County birth record for an unnamed male Garrett on 4/15/1887, and a late birth record for Zealand Monroe Garrett on 4/15/1889. Since his draft registrations use both dates, I don't know where the error is. It is possible there was another child born in 1887, and Zealand was born in 1889. His age on the censuses, and his marriage record indicate 1889.

      [Jackson County Births show a male born to GW & Rebecca 4/15/1887 and Zealand on 4/15/1889. He uses the 1887 date on his WWI Draft Registration and that is the date used on the 1900 census, but it could be Rebecca had a 4th child, and he is one of the other initial only stones.]
      [one of the initial only stones must be the son born to Mary in 1908. Mary had lost 3 children by the 1910 census, Clyde and Arra B would be the other 2.]
