Erica, the link you shared:
https://www.geraldini.com/documenti/before-america/Before-America-P...
is the one referenced on Wiki that has the error regarding Mary Bible and where I got the clarification on the John married to both Nannie Harrison and Elizabeth Ware. It's also the site where I quoted that John Garrett who married Elizabeth Ware may have been in Ireland for a while but returned to England before coming to America.
It leaves a good bit out that other sites include, like most of the info on the Wiki page that sons William and Thomas are recorded in the Pennesylvania Quaker records but the brother John who didn't come to America, etc. Instead of going into any of that or referencing that the Quaker genealogist Cope doesn't mention that brother John being in the records, it just cuts the comment down to:
"He, and 7 of his children immigrated to Pennsylvania between 1650 and 1680. It appears that he immigrated before his children did in 1684. Records of Early Philadelphia Residence list all of John’s children (except John II) as well as himself." but even there it says 'except John'.
The Wiki page mentions:
" John Garrett, the son, has two conflicting birth years from the same genealogist and author in different books! Gilbert Cope, one of the best Quaker genealogist in Pennsylvania, wrote in one book published in 1881 that the bible stated that John and Mary had 6 children with John's birth year as 1631.[8] However, 6 years later in a book published in 1887, Cope clearly shows all 7 children (Elizabeth was the missing child) with John's birth year listed as 1635.[5] It is probable that during those 6 years Cope uncovered better transcripts of the bible and/or updated research."
Regardless of what differs, they seem to be in agreement that John and wife Mary's son John didn't come to America with the rest of the family.
John I's son in the link you shared is the one where it states:
"His oldest child was John Garrett, II was born on February 2, 1635 in Leicestershire, England, which is north of London. The records show that he was knighted on February 26, 1615; however if that is true, he was only 20 years old"
He is the all the info agrees stayed in England, didn't come to America, died in England. But then the author of that PDF goes on to state that John II did come to America but went to Virginia.
My thoughts on the info in the PDF is the author got a lot right but also has some mistakes, like Mary 'Bible'. But I also think the author couldn't sort out the various John Garretts any better than anyone else and this may be the very source that has been copied that keeps them confused - first stating that all of John I's children came to America excpet John II but then going on to state that John II did come to America. I think the author has two Johns confused right there. And the PDF doesn't show any sources for any of the info. I see nothing to compel me to trust the author of the PDF over the genealogy I've been working from and the info on Wiki. The latter two used together make even more sense of the genealogy of I've been working with. The details on the Wiki page confirm the long-standing confusion, states plainly (as does the PDF) that John I's son John stayed in England. All sources make one thing clear - the John Garrett who began the Virginia line of Garretts was never in Pennsylvania and there are no sources that document him as part of their family. My take on the PDF is that the author was trying, like everyone else has, to fit together the various John Garretts and make sense of their connections. The only things all agree on are that John I and wife Mary had a son John II who did not join the family in Pennsylvania, who was not listed in the Pennsylvania Quaker records and that somes sites say he died in England while others make him out to be the John Garrett who immigrated to Virginia.
This paragraph in the PDF is really unclear to me:
"His oldest child was John Garrett, II was born on February 2, 1635 in Leicestershire, England, which is north of London. The records show that he was knighted on February 26, 1615; however if that is true, he was only 20 years old."
It's unclear to me whether it's saying John Garrett II born 1635 was knighted in 1615 or if the author got that out of sequence and meant to say that John Garrett I was knighted in 1615. John b. 1635 couldn't possibly have been knighted in 1615. Maybe the 1615 is a typo. But you'd think whichever one was knighted in England would have been the one staying there due to probably having lands and the title there.
The title that says: My Ancestors Immigrate To Pennsylvania and Virginia sums it up. The author was just putting their tree info into PDF form for family history. It's all unsourced and just their conclusion of how their lines connect. Less convincing than the info on Wiki, in my opinion.
We may have to just agree to disagree on this unless some real documention surfaces. For me the PDF referenced is no better than a personal tree that has the same confusion others have on these lines, mainly by disregarding the lack of documentation for John I and Mary's son ever having come to America
My best guess is that the John who married Elizabeth Ware and immgrated to Virginia instead of Pennsylvania is certainly a relative of the others, just not their son. The PDF seems to be trying to make him their son same as other sites who may have just copied the info from that PDF. It's definitely not consistent with the info on the Wikii page regarding Cope's Quaker research or the info on Wiki that states:
John Garrett (b. 1635), the son, is not the same John Garrett (b. 1631) that came to America and ended up in Virginia marrying Elizabeth Ware. From this Leicestershire Garrett line only William and Thomas are known to have emigrated to America and they stayed in Pennsylvania.[5][7]
I'm weary of working on it and I"m sure you're weary of my posts. We each have our own interpretation of the info available online and neither of us seem likely to begin to agree with the other unless more definitive info comes to light.
Thanks for your patience in discussing all this with me. Maybe some of the other profiles managers and descendants will take the time to read through all the many posts and give feedback as to their own conclusions.
