A History of Kentucky Baptists From 1769 to 1885, Including More Than 800 Biographical Sketches, J. H. Spencer, Manuscript Revised and Corrected by Mrs. Burilla B. Spencer, In Two Volumes. Printed For the Author. 1886. Republished By Church History Research & Archives 1976 Lafayette, Tennessee. Vol. 2, pp 117-118 [Barren County] RICHARD GARNETT, whose father was the first permanent settler in what is now Barren county, was born in Virginia, about the year 1776. He came with his parents to the wilds of the Green river country, while yet a boy. Arriving at manhood, he married a daughter of Elder Robert Stockton. This marriage was blessed with several children, of whom William Garnett, of Chicago, and the wife of J. M. Pendleton, D. D., now of Upland, Pa., are still living. Mr. Garnett united with the Baptists, in early life, and maintained a spotless christian character till his death, which occurred, at a great old age. He was Clerk of Barren county Court, almost a half century, was in the Kentucky Legislature, during the term of 1841-2, was generally Clerk of Green River Association, from 1826, till 1839, and served Liberty Association, in the same capacity, from its constitution, in 1840, till he was succeeded by his son-in-law, Henry Eubank, in 1853. He died, about 1869, and doubtless received a crown of righteousness. Garnett Stockton Pendleton Eubank = VA Chicago-Cook-IL PA http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/barren/garnett.r.txt
