Notes:

Jacob H Garner applied and was appointed Guardianship of Amelia "Milly" (Hayes) Benjamin Myers' children by the Court at Beaumont. Don't have exact date, but new appraisers were appointed Nov 29, 1847; so previous to that. He was listed as a principal with Thos H Lewis & John B (x his mark) Pevito security.

1880: Jacob Garner age 66 states parents born in VA. Also listed with them are Rachel, age 14, and Othneil, age 4, goddaughters.
(Yellowed Pages show marriage date of 13 June 1843) He was the son of Bradley Isaac GARNER SR, and Rachel HARMON, born in 1814. Jacob's sister was Rachel Garner who married Benjamin Johnson.
BRADLEY ISAAC GARNER, SR., came to Tx, from Louisiana, in 1828 (1850 Census) According to First Settlers of Jefferson Co, Texas by Gifford White, Land Grants in Texas: 130th Applicant: Bradley Garner took and Subscribed to the oath requiredy the 12th Secretary of Land Law that he emigrated to Texas in 1829. It was proven that he was a citizen of Texas at the date of the Declaration of Independence by the oath of Richard Ballew and Wilson W. Gill.
David Garner was possibly Bradley's brother, even though there were 12 years difference in their ages. David GARNER married Matilda Hampshire in 1839 in Jefferson Co, and their children were Emily, born 1840; Jacob, born 1841; David G, born 3; Clairborne, born 1844; Anna, born 1845; Martha, born 1847; John, born 1848; and Alexander, born 1850.

Listed in First Settlers of Jefferson Co, Texas by Gifford White, Land Grants in Texas 47th Applicant: JACOB GARNER took and Subscribed to the oath required by the 12th Secretary of Land Law that he emigrated to Texas in 1829. It was provhat he was a citizen of Texas at the date of the Declaration of Independence by the oath of Clairborn West and BRADLEY GARNER.
The census states Jacob had come to Texas in 1825 (age 11) with David Garner (born in 1807; i.e. 18 years old). Land Grant records state Bradley came in 1828 and Jacob swore he emigrated in 1829, witnessed by Bradley.

Hi, I am a ggrandson of Jacob Harmon Garner I found your site from John H. "Jay" Garner after I found him with a search for Bradley Garner on Ancestry.com. Your site is great and I feel like a gold miner that has found the long lost Dutchman Mine! Thanks again... Price Garner - pgarner@juno.com

Census:
John McCall married Martha Garner Jan 1869 months before this census; so curious she is not counted here. Mary, age 6, and Alzina Hayes, 12, living in his household, are children of Martha's uncle James Hayes, Jr. (her mother's brother). Their mother, Emily Burrell Hayes, died previous to this census and relatives took in the young children. Another Hayes child, Nancy, 8 yrs old, was taken in by Jamss McCall.
Jacob Garner took in Matilda, 10 yrs old (my ancestor).
Marie Johnson, living with John McCall, is James Hayes, Jr.'s mother. After J.H. Sr. died, she married Francis Gallier, Jr - who had also passed by this time.

Died:
For a long time, I believed that Garner died of pneumonia due to much exposure to the winds and rain (from intense hurricane on Oct 12, 1886) but Bill Quick has determined that Garner lived on for about four months months after the storm, and that his actual death date was February 27, 1887.

Notes:

SLR: Hayes Mathilde (Jim & Marie Gionson) b 13 Jan 1817 (Opel Ch v. 2 p 144)
Mar: Opel Ch., Vol 2, p 144.

Hayes, Matilde (Jims & Marie Jionson (Johnson), marriage contracted by the laws of the State) b 13 Jan 1817, bt 5 Sep 1818. Pats: Guilliome (Guillaume or William) Hays & Pole (possibly Polly) Marie Formen. Mats: Moise Joinson (Moses Johnson) & Neanci (Nancy) Roberts; Spons: Salomon Jaien & Sale Hays. Fr.

SARA ANN COURT, age 14 (b 1836) was living with Matilda and Jacob Garner in 1850 (1850 census). This was apparently soon after her father THOMAS COURT drowned.

1860 census: living with them is Matilda Hayes 10, TX, daughter of James Hayes, Matilda's brother, & Emily Burrell.

"He became angered when his Uncle Straumit decided to send his brother James, to schoo l in England, left home and went first to Louisiana Territory, then to Texas. He married an d lived in Tuckapaw, Texas." "Southern Garners" by Sam Garner


They were living in Rapides Parish in 1810 with 4 children. Bradley served in the War of 1812 in LA with Capt. Thomas Patterson.

In 1830 they were in Cow Bayou settlement, later Jefferson County Texas. This settlement had about 20 families scattered from the Sabine River to the Neches River in Texas. Today this Orange County Texas.

Two of their sons, Jacob Harmon Garner and David Hess Garner settled in Cow Bayou in 1824. In 1828 Sarah Rachel Harmon and Bradley Garner joined the family in Orange County, Texas. Rachel died in Orange County, Texas. Bradley died abt 1848 in Jefferson County, Texas.

Bradley married Rachel Harmon on 27 Dec 1800 in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. Rachel (daughter of Jacob Harmon, (immigrant) and Hannah (Anna) Guiche) was born about 1780; died after 1819. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Census: 07 Aug 1820, Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana; b.d. 1776-1794
• Census: 1830, Bayou D'arbonne, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana; b.d. 1781-1790
• Residence: Between 1831 and 1836, Jefferson Co, Texas; Mexican government
• Residence: Between 1836 and 1837, Jefferson Co, Texas; Republic of Texas

Notes:

Birth:
Suggestion that he was b after children bt on 4 Jun 1797, Susanne, Amelia, Wm & Jacob. Jacob last of those 4 b 1794. However if b aft 1797 - we have Catherine b 1797 - would have to be after her making him too young to have his first child Amelia b 1813.

His wife Marie Johnson b 1796 (confirmed as bt at 7 y-o in 1803. making her 17 to have first child - marrying at age 16. I can't see him younger than that.

It's reasonable that a 12 y-o would not be bt with younger siblings. They were "grown up" quite young and he any number of reasons why not with the others. But granted, I need to study the 1810 census. If b 1785, in 1810 would be 25 and gone.

followup - his age group:
1810 b.d. 1795-1800 10 to 15
1820 b.d. 1776-1794 26-44
1830 b.d. 1781-1790 40-49

we had recaluclated him to be 1795 to accomodate 1810.
1820 fits, almost - by one year - or a few months
her b.d. is definite, and she was not categorized correctly
1830, by then maybe he guessed and could easily be off 5 yrs. Conclusion: 1795 is reasonable.

Residence:
not yet determined when he came to Texas, but associated families started coming around early 1830s; so that's best guess.

James* married Maria I* Johnson about 1812 in Louisiana. Maria (daughter of Moses** Johnson and Nancy** Anna Robert) was born in 1796 in Louisiana; was christened on 7 Aug 1803 in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana; died after 1880 in Sabine Pass, Jefferson Co, Texas.

Notes:

Jeansonne, Marie (Moses & Anna Robert) bt. 7 Aug 1803 at age 7 yrs (Opel. Ch.: v.1, p 309).
Sponsors for baptism of Mary Welsh (Jacob Walch & Susan Robert) 9 Nov 1814.
Johnson, Mary (Moses & Anne Robert - residents of this parish) bt 7 Aug 1803 at age 7 yrs. Spons: Daniel Gallaghan & his wife. Fr. Louis Buhot (Opel Ch.: v 1-B p 309)

They must have moved to Jefferson Co sometime between 1830 and 1834. James died some time thereafter. Marie remarried Francios GALLIER, JR. in Jefferson Co. She was apparently widowed again by 1870 as she was living with her son James, JR, in Taylor Bayou and in 1880 at age 83 with her granddaughter Mary Hayes HEMMINGWAY. Also listed in 1880 was her g-dau, Missouri Hayes Hemmingway. Listed as Blind -- said father from S.C., mom from MS.

Note: Daughters of Moses Johnson and Nancy Roberts -
1. Anna m Thomas Court 2. Marie m James Hayes, Sr.
child James Madison Court child James Hayes, Jr.
child Helmer Samuel Courts child Matilda Hayes
child Claudie Gentz
Helmer Samuel Courts m Claudie Gentz, 1st cousins, once removed.

1850 census: living with Marie & Francis Gallier were their granddaughters Eliza and Melissa Ann Myers. Melissa Ann Myers m James Chambers.

1860 census: age 64, midwife, LA, living with John McCall, husband of her granddaughter Martha Hayes; however Martha is not listed. Francis is living with the Myers granddaughters, Eliza now married to Alvin Morgan and two young children, and Malissa is also there. Only speculation that Francis and Mary are both helping with family situations rather than than being separated. She is in census residence 361 and Francis is in 363, only one residence between them.
