Clairborn Garrett

Notes:

Clairborn Garrett, William's older brother, who operated a store in San Augustine, died in the winter of 1836. Jacob, Garrett's father, was appointed administrator of Clairborn's estate. Jacob quickly sold all of Clairborn's personal property, but for some reason was exceptionally slow to settle other estate manners. In fact, his reluctance to distribute his son's real property forced the probate court twic to order him to "make a showing." In 1839, when Clairborn's widow finally received one-fourth of the estate, she had already remarried John D. Nash.
