Hi Darrell, Last fall or winter I sent you some info on the Garvins. Today I was in gendex looking. I came across your posting. You have Sophia Thompson as the spouse of Johnson Garvin. Sophia was married to James Garvin. I know how easy it is for a typo. Let me see if I can go into some detail without getting up the old creek. Some times in the Carter Co. area of where the Garvins lived, they talk of three Johnson Garvins. The truth of the matter is there was one Johnston Garvin that's with a "t", and two Johnson Garvins.

Johnston Garvin b. abt 1787 married Hannah Rice 16 Jan 1808 in Fleming Co., Ky. They had a son James Garvin b. 30 Jan 1816, d. 21 Apr 1864 from wounds received in battle, he was on his way home to recover at the time of his death. He died at a place called Cooks Furnace, he had just about made it home. James Garvin married Sophia Thompson 19 Sep 1839. Sophia Thompson b.2 Nov. 1818, d. 19 Feb. 1895. She is buried on the family farm near Prater. James and Sophia are the parents of Johnson Noble Garvin. Johnston Garvin married a second time to Elizabeth Garrett 6 Mar 1828 in Greenup Co. and the had a son Johnson who married an Amanda I do not know her last name. I know that Eliza is often used in place of Elizabeth. But on all family records that I have looked at Sara Elzia Henderson Garvin is Eliza and that is what's on her head stone I wished that I had as much info on the Thompson side of the family as I have on the Garvin side. I can't find any family records. Do you know any of the folk lore on Robert Henderson's wife Sarah ? Thanks for putting up with me. John Hudson kc8gno@@richnet.net this is a new e-mail address I think at the time I sent you the info I was on aol.
