Alexander Garringer (Ii) [1398]

  General Notes:

“Descendants of Adam Boots (1733-1803)” (1966; 1977) [LDS flim
#1036425] p. 403: marriage dates; “Descendants of Alexander
Garringer” by Carol J. Anderson [2000]: born ‘Oct 1827, Fayette
Co., OH’ but Barbara Carpenter’s data fails to have this
Alexander, though she comment she ‘knew there was [one]’ —
however the Anderson data give different marriage dates: to
Phebe Betson ‘25 Jan 1848 at Howard Co., IN’; and to Rebecca
Simmons ‘10 Oct 1849, Howard Co.’; Rick Hambrock “Descendants of
Alexander Garringer” [Nov 2000] — 1900 Jay Co., IN census (Pike
township) [E.D. 66; Sh. 6; line 84]: age 75 (born Jan 1825 @ OH)
is an Alexander Garringer living with his 30-year-old daughter,
Ida (born Apr 1870 @ IN): this Alexander?; from Jacki
McDermott’s research [2004]: ‘Alexander (no positive proof
whether he belongs to Alexander or to brother John, possibly a
death record would tell us, descendants don't know his parents)
born Oct 1825 (according to 1900 census of St. Clair County Mo
Vol. 18, ed 149, sh 10, line 41, so that makes it look more like
he is John’s child since Sarah was born in Aug of same year) He
was probably born in Fayette County, Ohio but the 1900 census
says Indiana (age 32 in 1860 census, Fillmore township, Iowa
County, Iowa so that would make him born in 1828, so he could
once again be Alexander’s child). Alex married Phoebe Betson on
10 October 1849, book C-1, page 87 and secondly to Rebecca
Simons (family name was Simmons actually, because her brother’s
descendants still live here in Iowa County, Iowa) CA p. 77 on
January 25, 1854, both in Howard County Indiana. Alex died after
1910 in St. Clair County, Missouri. Alex missed the 1880 census
in Ottawa County, KS (ed 219, sheet 90, line 40) because head of
household comes up N.R. (for none recorded). I thought for a
long time that meant his initials were N.R. The rest of the
family is there with Rebecca. In 1870, Iowa County Iowa p. 174,
175, he was 43, making his birth year 1827. Caroline Shaper
wrote to me in 1990 “I believe the Alexander of Alexander and
Rebecca is Alexander’s son and I believe he was born in 1828.
Since neither Alex or Rebecca could read/write the age confuses
us. I believe the 1850 and 1860 censuses are more correct than
1880 and 1900; I also believe a deed in Delaware County, Indiana
deed from Isaac to Alexander is between Alexander’s two sons
(1849-when Alex was of age).” On 31, August 1852, Alex
Garringer, Milton Hadley, and Charles Goodwine were appointed
administrators of the estate of John Garringer. We know that
this was not Alex, Sr., because his estate was probated on Jan
16, 1849. So, was Alex the son or nephew of John? This research
was done by Dorothy Riker from Indianapolis, Indiana for us in
1984.’; Anna M. Bonner to L. Ellingham [6-I-2005]: vital data
(b. ‘23 Jun 1827’ with marriage year & death data

Alexander married Phebe Betson [1410] [MRIN: 635] on 10 Oct 1849 in Howard Co., IN.

Alexander next married Rebecca Simmons [1411] [MRIN: 643] on 25 Jan 1854 in Howard Co., IN. (Rebecca Simmons [1411] was born on 1 Oct 1830 and died on 11 Jul 1911 in ?saint Clair Co., MO.)
