[edit] Information on Andrew Garrrom "Germanna History", notes (http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~george/johnsgermnotes/germhs58.html) Andrew Garr had two daughters, that we know of, in America; Rosina, who married Theobald Christler, and Elizabeth Barbara Garr, who married Michael Blankenbaker. Apparently, he had another daughter who was born in America. Is this possible? Eva Seidelmann Garr, wife of Andrew Garr, was born in 1689. They came to America in 1732, and letters written to Germany at the end of the year do not mention another member of the family. They do mention that a daughter, besides the two above who came with them, had died in Pennsylvania. In 1733, Eva would have been 44 years old. It is possible that she had another child. I have to assume this child married Christian "Tivall". In 1751, Andrew Garr had a warrant for land in the Shenandoah Valley. If we assume that this unnamed daughter was still living then when Andrew Garr assigned the warrant to Christian, she might have been about 18 years old. So far, there is nothing impossible in the story. Christian Tivall had the property surveyed in 1752. His wife, the daughter of Andrew Garr, died about this time and Christian felt badly about taking the land from Andrew. I would assume that, if there had been children of Christian and the unnamed Garr daughter, Christian would have kept the land in trust for the heir. Instead, Christian assigned his rights to another son-in-law of Andrew Garr, namely, Theobald Christler. The word "assigned" could be interpreted as either a gift or a sale. The name Tivall is reinforced as connected with the Gaar/Garr family by another Warrant & Survey. "Lawrence Garr of Culpeper, 4 Jan 1749/50, 3 Feb 1750, on South Fork Shannondoah. Chain carriers: Tivall & Zacharias Blancumbaker." I do think the surveyor was confused when he wrote up the survey results. He implied there was a Tivall Blancumbaker but a more correct reading would probably be "XYZ" Tivall where XYZ was most likely Christian. I will add some more to these thoughts in the following notes. http://home.comcast.net/~rich4839/p95.htm#i2837 Andreas Gar b. 14 June 1685 Andreas Gar|b. 14 Jun 1685|p95.htm#i2837|John George Gar|b. 17 Nov 1657\nd. 22 May 1738|p96.htm#i2857|Elizabeth Barbara Scheubel|b. 8 Jun 1663|p96.htm#i2858|Andreas Gaar|b. 15 Jan 1629\nd. 22 Oct 1704|p99.htm#i2968|Apollonia Grimm|b. 4 Jan 1630\nd. 18 Dec 1704|p99.htm#i2969|George W.
