“ Sir Knight William Garrett, who was born in Dorney Bucks, England in 1583 when Elizabeth, daughter of Henry VIII was Queen of England. He married Bridget (maiden name unknown). He changed the spelling of his last name from Garrard to Garrett. William was knighted July 23, 1603 at Whitehall before the Coronation of King James. His cousin, Thomas Garrard of Bryn was also knighted by King James on April 18, 1603.

Lord John GARRETT, I who was born in 1595 in St Margaret, Westminster, London also during Queen Elizabeth’s reign. He married Lady Mary Bible in about 1632 when he was 37 years old. From a book, “Garrett Folklore & Fact”, Lady Mary Bible was of royal blood but was disinherited because she married a Quaker, i.e., Lord John GARRETT, I. Some records indicate that he had another wife, Ann Dunston and if so, she probably preceded Mary Bible.
