In the 1880 census Garrett stated his father was born in NC and mother in FL<br/>
In the 1900 census Garrett stated his father was born in SC and mother in FL<br/>
In the 1880 census Garrett's mom stated she was born in FL<br/>
In the 1880 census Garrett's sister stated her dad was born in NC and mom in<br/>
FL<br/>
In the 1850 census William Arledge stated he was born in GA<br/>
In the 1850 census Mary Arledge stated she was born in Tenn<br/><br/>
I think in the 1880 or 1900 census Garrett could not remember if his father<br/>
was NC or SC but his sister stated NC and he, his mom and his sister all<br/>
stated his mom was in born in FL.  William and Mary said GA and Tenn so they<br/>
could not be Garrett's and Mary E's parents.  Do you think I am correct?<br/>
Thanks, Mary<br/>
