The death date shown above is an estimate.

In Germany the surname was spelled Gern and was pronounced much like the name Garn is today. In America the spelling was subject to the interpretation of public officials, often with English backgrounds, who recorded the names as they heard them. As a result, there were many variations of the spelling in the early 1800s. Over time various branches of the family standardized the spelling, settling on Garn, Garnes, Garns, and even Carn.
