Notes on Nathaniel Garten

He was also known as Nathaniel Girton Jr. He and family were in the 1820 and 1830 Monroe county, VA censuses. In the 1840 and 1860 Census they were in Putnam county, Indiana. They have not been located in 1850. When they moved to Indiana they located in the same vicinity of William Girton who was from Pennsylvania via Brown Co, Ohio. Nathaniel's records at the courthouse soon began to appear as Girton instead of Garten. The proximity to the Girtons and the inability to write one's name may be the reasons the spelling of the name was changed.
