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.
