Jackson George Garner was born abt 1820 and died abt 1897 as far as our research has taken us. We have been unable to find documentation to verify beyond family history accounts. Also missing from documentation is where he is buried. The last we can trace him is in the 1880 Census.

We know his first wife was Celia Ann Brewer. We did find documentation for the marriage on November 2, 1842 in Bibb County, Alabama but the gives the name of John Garner?

He married his second wife Eliza Ann Moltin January 7, 1868 in Fayette, Fayette, Alabama.
The last documentation we have on her is the 1900 Census.
