    Notes 
    • Settled on the east side of the Attoyac River, about nine miles west of the Ayish Bayou. He moved into a hand hewn log house and remained there for the rest of his life. The old log house still stands today. Owned by Milton Garrett's descendants, it is located on the south side of the Old San Antonio Road on top of the hill, one mile east of the Attoyac River. (Noble, San Augustine Tribune "William Garrett Plantation Was Near Town" 6 April 1995)

      Per the 1860 census, he was a Farmer with $6,219 in real estate and $37,650 in personal property.

      He was not listed on the 1870 census, presumably having died. His widow and all of his children were still living on the farm, which was now valued at $5,000, with $2,000 in personal property. Bill and Francis Harrison, a black couple with two young children were living with them as well, as household servants. Also living with them was 24 year old S.D. Horton from Alabama, a white farm laborer. By 1880, only Sam, Claiborne and James were still living at home.
