History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 794. [Nicholas County] [Upper Blue Licks Precinct] JAMES GARRETT, farmer, P. O. Moorefield; was born in Montgomery County, May 18, 1832; his grandfather of same name was a native of Virginia, whence he emigrated very early, being one of the first settlers of Montgomery County. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary war for Independence, and lived to the advanced age of one hundred and ten years, a lease of life seldom enjoyed by men of the present day. Sanford Garrett, father of our subject, was also a native of Virginia, having been born in that State in 1795. He married Nancy Reed, of Kentucky, who is still living in her seventy-eighth year. They raised ten children, all of whom obtained their majority. James Garrett married in Montgomery County, Jan. 17, 1855, Miss Mary Call, daughter of William Call and Mary Beckett, of Bourbon County. Six children have been born to them, named respectively: Eliza B., Nannie J., Horace B., Sarah, Joseph and Eudora. Mr. and Mrs. Garrett are members of the Baptist Church at Poplar Plains in Bath County; in politics he is a Democrat.
