    Notes 
    • ÒDescendants of Adam Boots (1733-1803)Ó (1966; 1977) [LDS flim
      #1036425] p. 403: marriage dates; ÒDescendants of Alexander
      GarringerÓ by Carol J. Anderson [2000]: born ÔOct 1827, Fayette
      Co., OHÕ but Barbara CarpenterÕs data fails to have this
      Alexander, though she comment she Ôknew there was [one]Õ Ñ
      however the Anderson data give different marriage dates: to
      Phebe Betson Ô25 Jan 1848 at Howard Co., INÕ; and to Rebecca
      Simmons Ô10 Oct 1849, Howard Co.Õ; Rick Hambrock ÒDescendants of
      Alexander GarringerÓ [Nov 2000] Ñ 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
      McDermottÕs research [2004]: ÔAlexander (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 JohnÕs 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 AlexanderÕs 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 brotherÕs
      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 ÒI believe the Alexander of Alexander and
      Rebecca is AlexanderÕs 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 AlexanderÕs two sons
      (1849-when Alex was of age).Ó 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.Õ; Anna M. Bonner to L. Ellingham [6-I-2005]: vital data
      (b. Ô23 Jun 1827Õ with marriage year & death data; Barbara
      Carpenter (barbcarp@iland.net) to L. Ellingham [15-IX-2006]:
      'Alexander Garringer b. 1800 and d. IND. md. Elizabeth BOOTS b.
      1798 she d. in north MO. Their son Alexander b. 1827 md. Phebe
      Betson. After Phebe died Alexander second md. Rebecca Simmons b.
      1831 Don't know (but think Alexander d. here in St. Clair Co.,
      MO.) Rebecca d. here near Osceola & buried in country cemetery
      there. My contact is a desc. of Alexander & Rebecca. Have not
      heard from her yet but will let you know if & when I do.'
