    Notes 
    • From FindAGrave:

      Died at his residence, in Paulding County, Georgia, November 4, 1848, Caleb Garrison, aged 73. His disease was one of long standing, and such was its character that frequently his children were called upon to see his last, but he bore it with courage, fortitude, and murmured not at the providence of God. In his death, the Church lost a devoted member of long standing. He was born in North Carolina, moved to Franklin County, Ga., in 1810, became a member of the Methodist Church a year after his removal, and shortly after he was appointed a leader.

      He moved from Franklin County to Fayette County, then to Carroll County, Georgia. He afterwards lived several years in Heard County, and moved from thence to his residence in Paulding, where he breathed his last. (Obituary of Caleb Garrison; Southern Christian Advocate, Vol. XII, No. 26, p. 104; issue of Dec. 8, 1848)

      Caleb married Sarah Jane Fleming in 1795, and they had 9 children.

      Recent DNA testing has disproven a long-held theory that Caleb's parents were John Garrison and Elinor Robinson. Instead, his parents are now believed to be Isaiah Garrison and another Elinor.
