In the spring of 1849 he immigrated to Anderson County, Texas, but being deceived in the purchase of some lands he remained only a few months, and on the 20th of July, 1849, he came to Johnson County, Kansas; resided a year with the Shawnee Indians. In 1850 he moved to Council Grove, this State, and for three years traded with the Kaw Indians. In the early part of 1854 he returned to Johnson County, and located on his present farm. On November 10, 1853, he was married to Betsey Captain, a member of the Shawnee tribe, and continued to reside here with that nation until about 1870, when they moved to the Indian Territory. Mr. Garrett accompanied them, and resided there some six years. He owns there 1,100 acres of land. In December, 1876, he returned to his residence in this county, and devotes himself to the management of his farms. He has here some 900 acres besides large quantities of live stock. Mr. Garrett's first wife died, leaving him with a family of six children, and he was married again in the Indian Territory, about 1874, to Miss Sidnie Smith."Cutler, William G.
