I do not have the names you are looking for in my database....However, I know that some of the Garrison's went into Missouri and possibly there are clues in this information that may help you...Kime,MO.
See notes below.....Hope this is helpful to you.

NEWSPAPER ARTICLE:

Kime, MO. & the Papers of H. Y. MABREY by Cletis R. Ellinghouse. Editor, Puxico Press
(two pictures included with article, one of John W. Garrison and son Stanley Garrison,
and one group setting taken about 1939.)

Family fled native France because of religious persecution
Garrison surname was long identified with Kime

35th in the series.

Probably no other surname was so closely identified for so long with Kime (MO) as Garrison, the family that provided the first and last postmasters, David L. (Lemmy) Garrison (1870-1912) and John W. Garrison (1913-1993). They were third cousins.

The pioneer in Wayne County, Azariah Garrison (1788-1860s), was a native of North Carolina who arrived in the 1850s from Humphreys County, Tenn., with his second wife, Rebecca (Phanatti) Garrison, and their family.

Azariah Garrison’s son John F. Garrison (1850-1912) was the father of John F. ‘Ed” Garrison (1885-1974) and grandfather of John W. Garrison.

According to family sources, Azariah Garrison was a son of Moses Garrison (1737-1820s), a native of Virginia who spent several years in North Carolina before moving to Smith County, Tenn., where he died. Moses Garrison was one of 31 charter members of the Old Salem Baptist Church organized there in 1809.

The ancestors of Moses Garrison were French Huguenots who fled homes in their native land to escape religious persecution. They came in America from England long before the Revolutionary War.
