He lived in an area of Prince Edward Co, VA that was previously in Amelia Co, VA that is "on the banks of the Appomattox River". His neighbors were John Garrett, Obediah Woodson, Benjamin Johns and John Arnold. Some of his property was sold eventually to a John Finley. Jacob had sons named Henry and John, who lived in Williamson Co, TN. Some researchers think this Jacob is a son of William and Sarah Burton Garrett. I haven't been able to support this but it does fit.

(Relation unknown, but assumed to be the John Garrett, listed at the above referenced website, and very likely a brother of Jacob Garrett.) COLONIAL SOLDIERS OF THE SOUTH, 1732-1774 A Muster Roll (Size Roll), of Captain Robert Stewart's Company, in the Virginia Regiment, Aug 1, 1757 (Cont'd) Nr Name Age Size Country Trade Enlistment 57 Garrett, John 33 5'9" Virginia Planter draft, Amelia Page 454 A Return for the Month of July 1757 of the Virginia Regiment commanded by Geo. Washington, Fort Loudon, Aug 1, 1757. Page 455 Note: The above was taken from a listing of 88 soldiers in the subject militia. The first part of the listing (numbers 1 thru 38) showed enlistment dates from Jan 1754 thru Dec 1756, followed by the soldier's home county (or town); the second part of the listing (numbers 39 thru 88) showed the word "draft" under enlistment, followed by the soldier's home county (or town). The information under the heading "Country" is assumed to mean "where born". _____________________________________________________ Father: William Garrett b: 1684 Mother: Sarah Burton Marriage 1 Unknown ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
