Notes:
From A Short Record and Autobiography of the Garrison Family of North
Carolina:
Marissa (Narcissa) Garrison, the eighth and youngest child of
Captain William Garrison, married Mr. John D. Edwards, February 1827. They had
five children -- four sons and one daughter.
Marissa
and Mr. Edwards lived near Democrat on Big Ivy, Buncombe county, North Carolina.
She was a weakly woman and never had good health during her married life and was
almost helpless for ten years of the last part of her life. She died in
her 77th year. She died July 31, 1892. Mr. Edwards followed her in
1893, aged 81 years. Their son, M. A. Edwards, was the main stay and
support of his afflicted father and mother for many years.
