Corp. John W. Garten, b. 1841 #116265481 and Corp. William Davis Garten,b. 1834 #22758391 were sons of Jincy Owen Jones and John W. Garten, b. 1809, #78192025. They were the other two sons of the six who served in the Civil War. William D. was teaching in Texas at the outbreak of the war and served the Confederacy. John Wesley "Wes" Garten died in a Veteran's Hospital in Anacostia Maryland and is buried there. Please link these men to their parents. I am certain of this relationship through the writings of my 2nd Great grandfather, their brother, George Washington Garten, b. 1846

Sincerely,
Kie Entrikin Zelms,
3rd Great Granddaughter of John W. and Jincy Owen Jones Garten
