  Notes	It appears that John loved his wife very much and wished not to endanger her life by trying to start a family to soon after her marriage, as she was still just a child at the time and he was all of 14 years her senior. They did not have their first child until his child bride was about 18 years of age. Not all men of this time period would have waited so long although it does appear that he eagerly made up for lost time producing at least 13 children with his wife. + 14. Jemima Garrison, b.

• Notes

  From "The Tenmile Country and It's Pioneer Families". Leonard Garrison.......applied for a pension for service in the Revolution, from Greene County, Penns ylvania, on September 17, 1833. (National Arch. Pa.-W.7503). From this appli cation, and that of his wife, we learn the service of his brother, George Gar rison, and many of the statistics of his own family. He stated that he was born in Maryland on May 5, 1760. In 1777 he went out as a drafted militaman and served at Garads Fort under Captain Samuel Swindler and served for two months. After he got back home he was called again to serve under Captain Stephen Gapen for a period of a month. In the Spring of 1778, he as drafted to go to Hannastown, but after getting as far as Uniontown, his command under, Lieutenant Henry Myers, was ordered to join Colonel Alexander McClean on the Virginia Line. In the Fall of the same year he served under his brother, George Garrison, as a minute man, scout and spy, and continued this service for the next five years. The pension application of his wife says that Leonard Garrison died March 10, 1836, which is borne out in Greene County O.C. Docket. pp. 88. His widow stated that she (Rebecca) had been born in April 1774, was 65 years old on June 10. 1839, and was married to Leonard on April 27, 1785, by John Minor, Justice of the Peace. (She was eleven years of age at the time.) In a sustaining affidavit, John Gapen stated that Rebecca had been raised at his home and he had attended the marraige. In an amended application of June 9, 1840, she gave a list of her children according to age, but had lost the Bible record of their births. This list corresponds with the Orphan Court record with one exception. She was still living in 1849.
