THE GARMAN-GILL FAMILIES
Elizabeth Garman Gill
January 1971
At the request of my eldest grandson...I
shall attempt to put into a story what I remember and what has been told me of
our families, that my grandchildren may know something of their forefathers and
the way we lived a few generations ago.
The Garman family came from around the Dutch border of
Germany, and in Ireland there is a lake called Loch Garman, indicating that
Garman was a name common in that area. This gives us a Dutch-German-Irish
descent, and, of course, we are Yankees.
