EARLY GARLANDS FROM NORTH CAROLINA AND SETTLERS IN TN & NC
"Most Garlands in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina trace their ancestors back to Humphrey Garland, Gutridge Garland (1753-1848) and Samuel Garland. They probably were born or raised in Halifax County, NC. There was an older Joseph and Sarah Garland, who owned land in the Halifax County, when it was known as Edgecome County, NC. There were three other younger Garland's in Halifax County, William, Patrick, and Jonathan Garland. Two of them left wills in Halifax County, William in 1778 and Patrick Garland in 1783. Patrick and Jonathan Garland were on the tax list in Halifax County, in 1783. Could William, Patrick and Jonathan have been sons of this Joseph and Sarah Garland? It is thought that there might be some connection to this Joseph and Sarah, but no link has been found.
During the 1780's several Garlands moved to Washington County, NC/Tn. They were Gutridge, Samuel, Joseph, Elisha, John, Jesse, and Humphrey all related, maybe brothers, half brothers, or even cousins, or father and sons. John, Elisha, and Humphrey had Revolutionary War records, and all were at the Battle of Brandywine. Most of them moved to what is now Carter County, TN. In the 1780's Gutridge and Humphrey moved to the Limestone Cove Section, then Carter County, now Unicoi County. Most Carter County and Johnson County Garlands descend from Samuel Garland. About 1805 Gutridge moved to what is known today as Mitchell County.
In the 1770's Rowan County, NC (Salisbury District) shows three Garlands serving in the Rowan County Militia: Gutridge, Samuel and Joseph's who might also have been brothers. All three signatures were in the handwriting of Gutridge. Rowan County documents for 9/26/1778 recorded the marriage of Gutridge Garland and Bridget Hampton, (c1758-1845). Bridget was the daughter of Ezekiel Hampton, Senior, 1734-1811 and Jenny Griggs, daughter of Minus Griggs, died 1778, and Jane. Bridget was the granddaughter of Sarah Kuykendall and Colonel Andrew Hampton 1715-1805, Revolutionary War veteran of the Battle of Kings Mountain from the Rutherford County, NC Militia.
Carter County was formed in 1796. Gutridge was elected in 1796 as a magistrate under John Sevier, and would never have appointed a person who was a Tory and as magistrate. Sevier was an earlier settler in east TN, Indian fighter, Veteran of the Battle of King's Mountain, Governor of the Lost State of Franklin and First Governor of Tennessee. Joseph settled in the area today known as Garland's branch, near the town of Watauga, between Elizabethton and Johnson City. His daughter, Mary Garland married in 1815 in Carter County to Larkin Thompson. In the 1830 Carter County Census, listed a Larkin Thompson, and next to him was an William Garland, ages 40 to 49 and another older male in his household ages 80 to 89. This would have to be the Joseph. We do know he had a son William Garland. The rest of his family moved to Alabama before 1840. John Garland married Susanna Nickolas in Warren County, NC in 1781. He owned land in east Tennessee, but later moved to eastern Kentucky. He applied for his Revolutionary War Pension from Knox County, KY. His wife and children were listed in Knox and Clay Counties in KY in 1850.
Children of Gutridge and Bridget Garland :
1. David Garland (7-20-1779-4-24-1866) married c1797 Sarah Garland; His will listed his wife Sarah as his heir and son, John Wesley Garland was the Executor. A letter to John Wesley Garland, in 1832 from Patsy and Richard Colyer, called him their nephew. A court Case in Unicoi Co. TN called Garland Vs Higgins, listed John's brothers and sisters.
2. Ezekiel Garland (1782-1817) married 1803 Susanna Grindstaff, only child to stay in Tennessee
3. John William Garland (9-14-1785/10-24-1863) married Rebecca Stanley
4. Elisha Garland 1788-1875 married Nancy Robinson or Robertson
5. Jenny Garland (1790-12-6-1857) married Lazarus Phillips
6. Samuel Gutridge Garland (1795-1873) married Mary "Polly" Stanley
7. Bridget Garland (1797-1873) married Swinfield Stanley
8. Telitha Garland "Lytha" (5-22-1798/4-17-1881) married William Stanley
9. Delitha Garland, born between 1797 and 1803, died after 1880 married Nathan Birchfield.
10. Stephen Garland (4-13-1803/6-6-1875), married (1st wife Elizabeth McKinney, (1805-1844) and they had eleven children; 2nd wife Elizabeth Forbes and they had ten children.
11. Dorothy "Dolly" Garland (6-11-1808/ 12-5-1854) married Gray Briggs. Two of Gutridge's children (Samuel Gutridge Garland and Delitha Garland and her husband, William Stanley, and some of John William Garland and Polly Stanley's descendants, moved to Fannin County in the northern part of Georgia.
