Note:
The #1 candidate who could be the father of George W. Garrett & Caleb Garrett is John Garrett, Sr.:
John Garrett, Sr. (1750-1806) has not been confirmed as the father of George W. Garrett (1791-1870) and Caleb Garrett (1795-1841), who are confirmed to be brothers. There are several data matches that point to John Garrett, Sr. as their father:
1) John Garrett, Sr. moved from Prince Edward Co, VA (possibly via Jefferson Co, TN) to Nashville, Davidson Co, TN about 1797; George W. Garrett was born in VA in 1791 and was serving in the militia in Nashville, Davidson Co, TN in 1812.
2) John Garrett, Sr. died in Williamson Co, TN in 1806; George W. Garrett was married in Franklin, Williamson Co, TN in 1817; Caleb Garrett lived about 40 of his 46 years in Franklin, Williamson Co, TN.
3) George W. Garrett named his 1st son John Garrett; John Garrett, the son of George W. Garrett, named his 1st son Thomas and his 2nd son John. (John Garrett, Sr. had sons named Thomas and John.)
4) George W. Garrett's second son (Caleb) named his first son John Garrett.
5) George Garrett (#894) and Thomas Garrett (#901) are the only persons with Garrett surname in the 1812 Davidson Co, TN Tax List that are listed as "In Nashville & Vicinity".
6) Jacob Garrett (1730-c1798) has been confirmed to be the father of John Garrett, Sr. (1750-1806).
Note: It should be taken into account that minors many times were not named in a Last Will and Testament because they had no legal standing; and it should be taken into account as well that when some minors were named, then usually all "minors" were named.

Bellevue
The original log part of this house was built around 1818 by Abram DeMoss and named for the house his father, Louis DeMoss, built in 1797 overlooking the Harpeth River a mile southwest. In time the name was given to the Nashville and Northwestern Railroad depot and to the U.S. Post Office. Thus the Bellevue community owes its name to this historic site.
Location: Bellevue, 7306 Harding Road
(The original log part of this house is now thought to have been built by John Garrett. The left front section was built by Thomas Harding around 1802. And the right section which connected the two sections of the house was built around 1820 by Abram and Betsy DeMoss. It was named for the house his father, Lewis DeMoss, built around 1800 overlooking the Harpeth River a mile southeast.)
