James Manly GARRISON, with son James Norton, ca. 1896.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

James Manly GARRISON<\/strong>, son of James or John GARRISON<\/strong> [1] and Susan \u2014?\u2014<\/strong>, [2] was born on 26 December 1861 in Picton, Ontario, Canada. [3]\u00a0 James died on 23 May 1909 in Chicago, Cook, Illinois at the age of 47. [4]\u00a0 He was buried at Oakridge Cemetery in Hillside, Cook, Illinois on 26 May 1909. [5]<\/p>\n

It is likely that James\u2019 father died before 1871, as he is not listed in the 1871 Canadian census.\u00a0 Additionally, nearly all mentions of Susan in the Detroit city directories indicate she is the widow of James (sometimes John).<\/p>\n

It is not known when or where Susan died.\u00a0 I have a receipt from Mt. Olive Cemetery in Chicago issued to J M Garrison for the remains of Susan Garrison dated 29 April 1894.\u00a0 It is quite possible it was for his mother Susan.\u00a0 No death record has been located in Detroit (her last known residence) or Chicago, the presumed place of burial.<\/p>\n

Another speculation on James\u2019 mother Susan is that she may have been Susan DOLAND.\u00a0 In the 1871 Canadian census, she is listed in the same household as a Doland family; the ages suggest she could be a daughter.\u00a0 No additional research has been done to confirm or disprove this theory.<\/p>\n

Between 1871 and 1874, James moved from Ontario, Canada to Detroit, Wayne, Michigan.\u00a0 At some point between 1881 and 1893, he relocated to Chicago, Cook, Illinois.\u00a0 James returned to Ontario prior to September 1895, where his first son, James Norton GARRISON was born.\u00a0 By 1897 he was back in Chicago until his death in 1909.<\/p>\n

On 23 January 1893, James married Sarah Jane \u201cJennie\u201d MULLIGAN<\/strong> in Chicago. [6]\u00a0 Sarah, the daughter of James MULLIGAN<\/strong> and Sarah Norton WEBSTER<\/strong>, was born 16 April 1870 in Flint, Genesee, Michigan. [7]\u00a0 Sarah died on 26 April 1947 in Chicago. [8]\u00a0 She was buried at Elm Lawn Cemetery in Elmhurst, DuPage, Illinois on 29 April 1947. [9]\u00a0 Sarah was raised in Flint, and by 1892, she was living in Chicago.<\/p>\n
