Timeline

When	Who and What	Where
1821	Henry C Garrigus born to John Garrigus^[1] and Ann Unknown	Tennessee
1830^[2]	Census: Free White Persons - Males - 5 thru 9: 2 (Henry, Robert) Free White Persons - Males - 10 thru 14: 2 (James, Jesse) Free White Persons - Males - 40 thru 49: 1 (John Garrigus) Free White Persons - Females - Under 5: 2 (Eliza Jane, Emeline) Free White Persons - Females 5 thru 10: 1 (Unknown) Free White Persons - Females - 30 thru 39: 1 (Margery)^[2]	Maury^[2], Tennessee
1840^[3]	The 1840 Weakley Tennessee has three neighboring households that mostly, but not entirely, line up with what we know. J J Gargus: Free White Males - 15 thru 19: 2 Free White Males - 40 thru 49: 1 Free White Females - 10 thru 14: 2 Free White Females - 40 thru 49: 1 Mathias Gargis: Free White Males - 20 thru 29: 1 Free White Females - Under 5: 3 Free White Females - 30 thru 39: 1 Wm Gargus: Free White Males - 20 thru 29: 2 Free White Females - 40 thru 49: 1 I'm intepreting this as House 1 being John with his second wife Margery and their children Robert, Eliza, Emeline, Margaret, and John. House 2 being his son James with his wife Lucinda and son Henry. House 3 being John's first wife Ann with her sons Henry, William and Jesse . It doesn't quite match and the biggest question is who Mathias is (James's middle name?). What is clear is that this is a rather unwieldy family group.^[3]	Weakley<^[3], Tennessee
3 Oct 1873^[1]	James Garrigus wrote letter to Milton Garrigus referencing his father (deceased), Matthias Garrigues (deceased), his sister (in Laclede County, Missouri), Samuel Garrigues (in Griggsville, Pike County, Ill), Henry Garrigues (in Deerfield, Vernon County, Illinois), his son (in Clarkesberg), Benjamin in Illinois, Jess and Bill (in Alabama), Thies, Henry, Bob, and William (all in Dresden, Weekly Co., Tenn.)^[1]	Clarkesberg^[1], Manateau Co., Missouri
1873^[1]	Henry C Garrigus^[1]	Dresden^[1], Weekly Co., Tennessee
