PLEASE NOTE: At the time of creating this memorial, Jedediah's father is shown as Christopher which is not correct. His parents were James & Jane Garrison of Carteret & Duplin Co NC. Also Rebecca Garrison who married John Pyle in Orange Co NC is NOT a daughter of Jedediah Garrison, not even related, proven by DNA and Orange County documents.
