Because there are numerous Garretson listed on the same census page for the year 1810 in Latimore Township, Adams, Pennsylvania, one might presume that these are the relatives of Ann Garretson, not the Garretsons of Newbury Township, York, Pennsylvania.[1] Compare this with the1810 census of Newbury Township, York, Pennsylvania.[2]
Ann was born in 1745.[3] She was the daughter of John Garretson and Content Hussey. The records were recorded at the Menallen Monthly Meeting, Adams County, Pennsylvania.[3]
Ann and Willing Griest (1736 - 1819) married September 5, 1764, at York County, Province of Pennsylvania.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Ann by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Ann:
Jane Carson was the second wife of John Garretson-35. Content Hussey-260 was the first wife of John Garretson-35 and the probable mother of Ann Garretson Griest, born 1845, because Content Hussey did not die until 1847 and Jane Carson married John Garretson in 1749. The parentage of Garretson-85 needs to be corrected.
Ann Garretson-85 needs to be merged with Garretson-290. I will re-urge the merge.
