Elizabeth (Hembree) Garrett was born in South Carolina.
Elizabeth (Hembree) Garrett was a Tennessean.
Elizabeth was a field nurse in the American Civil War era tending wounded or sick troops in South Carolina and Georgia.
Elizabeth was born in 1843 in the western part of Pickens District, South Carolina, that would become Oconee County. Her parents were Edward Hembree Jr. and Elizabeth Sanders.[1][2][3]
Elizabeth and her sisters Sarah and Mary were field nurses during the War between the States. They tended wounded or sick troops in South Carolina and Georgia.[1]
Around 1865, she married Milton R. Garrett and remained in Oconee County for awhile, before moving to Sevier County, Tennessee, where her mother and other family members were living. The Garretts had four children, the first being born in South Carolina; the others in Sevier County, Tennessee:[4][5]
William Edward (1867-1954)
Joseph (1868-)
David (1870-)
Minnie (1875-)
Elizabeth remarried in 1883, to Asa Rogers, of Sevier County.[6] (Milton also remarried, so they apparently divorced around 1880.)
Elizabeth is reported to have died some time before 1909 in Knox County or Sevier County, Tennessee.[7][1]
