Previously, the Peter whose profile is the father of Arthur Garrison was mistakenly attached as a son of Jacob Garrison (Jr), Garrison-1261. According to Phyllis, Jacob Garrison Jr never had a son named Peter.
Would much appreciate these two duplicate profiles to be merged so I can continue to expand the children of Peter Garrison and Sarah Rees.
