Timmons, Harper & Brothers Publishers, New York, avail. at San Augustine (TX) Public Library & Houston, Harris County, Texas Library: Said John Nance Garner was "Scotch in the male line & Welsh in the other." Mentions the Garners were a well-off family that had "found the way to education & business success" & had fought for both the King vs. the French & for George Washington vs. the King. Also mentions the Garners "had moved west on the outer rim of advancing civilization" but were "not without roots." Book mentions the TN-TX migration may have been influenced by TN Gov. Sam Houston being a hero worshipper of Andrew Jackson & blazing a trail for Texas, much effecting the developing philosophy of the early Texas settlers.</p><p>REF: "Garners of Texas A Personal History" by Bascom N. Timmons, Harper & Bros. Publishers, New York, avail. at San Augustine (Texas) Public Library & Houston, Harris County, TX library: "Garner's forebears had given him neither money nor education, but he had inherited their gifts for energy & success. He was a hard worker in his own fields, a good neighbor & a companionable fellow." He was able to build up a thriving ranch even under the extremely harsh times of Reconstruction after the Civil War.
