The Garrett Mansion. — In the West Park near the Falls of Schuylkill, now called "The Lilacs." The Garrett family are of Swedish descent, their ancestor being one Garretson, who came to Delaware at an early date. The Swedes settled at Wilmington in 1683, and claimed both banks of the Delaware River as far north as Trenton, and both banks of the Schuylkill as far as Reading. The domain constituted "New Sweden." W^illiam Penn recognized the claims of the Swedes to ownership in the land. The Welsh who settled Lower Merion and Blockley, in the summer of 1682, made friends with their Swedish neighbors. The Garrett family retained their plantation up to the time that the city of Philadelphia acquired it for park purposes. In extending the park the city became possessed of a number of old Swedish and Welsh land claims. At the time of the Revolution the Garrett mansion was occupied by Captain, afterwards Major, Morton Garrett, of the Philadelphia County Militia. The Ford Road passed up from Garrett's Ford, which was just at the foot of the hill below "The Lilacs." Source
