[Harrison County]  [Unity Precinct]

COL. THOMAS T. GARNETT, farmer and trader, P. O. Cynthiana.  Among the
early emigrants to Kentucky was Larkin Garnett, who was born in Virginia
about 1782, and came to this State in 1807 and settled near Cynthiana,
Harrison County, where he spent the remainder of his days.  He married
Elizabeth Bell, also of Virginia birth, by whom he raised six sons and
six daughters.  He was a farmer and mechanic and by close application to
business he managed to accumulate considerable property.  He ranked
among the prominent men of his day, and died in October 1856, respected
by all who knew him.  His eldest son, Thomas T., who is the subject of
this sketch, was born in Virginia on the 15th of May, 1806, and when only
about one year old was brought by his parents to Harrison County, Ky.,
where he was reared and educated and where he still resides.  When he
arrived at the age of maturity his father gave him a good horse, with
which he ventured out upon his own resources, full of energy and ambition.
On the 4th of Oct., 1840, Col. Garnett was married to Louisa Wiglesworth
who was born in the county in 1819, and was the daughter of John and Jane
(Bush) Wiglesworth, who were also residents of Harrison County.  In the
early days of this county's history our subject was elected Captain of a
militia company and subsequently promoted to major and colonel, which
latter title he still bears.  He was also elected justice of the peace in
his district, an office he filled very acceptably.  He has had born to
him two daughters, both of whom are now married and settled in life. His
elder daughter, Jane E., is the wife of Dr. W. H. Martin and Mary F.,
the wife of Col. William Moore.  Col. Garnett has been a very "wide-awake"
business man through the early part of his life, being possessed of rare
judgment and quick to see a bargain; he has succeeded in acquiring
handsome property, consisting of about 1,000 acres of land, upon which
he has erected, according to his own plans and designs, one of the best
residences in the county (a view of which graces the pages of this work),
fronting the K.C.R.R. at Garnett Station, which station was named in
honor of our subject.  He and his family are all members of the Baptist
Church and he is a straight Democrat in politics.
