PREFACE. The desire to learn more of my Garrard ancestors gave me the starting point in beginning this work. I could not, at the beginning, anticipate the difficulties and obstacles quite insurmountable which awaited me in my efforts to bring to light the history and family traditions which had been so long neglected and almost forgotten. Disappoint­ ments came at every turn. The older generation have all passed away, and those now living can recall but little derived from their parents. When investigation in Virginia was begun, and I learned that the Stafford county records, at the very period in which my search would be directed, were all destroyed during the Civil war, my discouragement was so great that I almost gave up my difficult task. I concluded, however, that it would be better to collect all that could be obtained, and preserve it, than to let all be obliterated by the hand of time. I have made searching investigations in Virginia where the first American ancestor settled, and also in England, hoping to find something of the French Huguenot ances­ tor. The result has been very disappointing and unsatis­ factory, and I am sure my disappointment will be shared by every descendant who feels an interest in this under­ taking. Hundreds of letters have been written in quest of information, many records examined, many Huguenot histories searched, without finding anything direct or reli­ able. The meagre family traditions are all that can be reached, and guided by them I have collected fragments relating to the early family history. These fragments are all that can be given; but, if preserved, they may at some PREFACE. future day serve as ground-work for farther research by any who may wish to undertake it. I have spared neither trouble nor expense in prosecut­ ing my investigations, and every source of information has been exhausted It has been very slow and tedious work, and has occu­ pied nearly all my time for more than a year; and I much regret that my satisfaction regarding it is not complete, but hope it will be received as the result of my best efforts to obtain what all so much desire and would value. I wish here to express my acknowledgments to all who have given me assistance in regard to families and lists of <lescendants. To Mr. Paul Oeker, of Paris, France, who so intelli­ gently made a search among the records of London, 1 must remain under great obligations. Also, to Dr. John W. Garrard, of Birmingham, Ala., who has kindly furnished data of the Garrards of the Southern states. Mr. C. L. Bryan, clerk of Stafford county, has been very accommodating, and I am exceedingly obliged to Mr. James Ashby, deputy clerk of Stafford, for his interest and assistance. He visited and examined all the old church­ yards in Stafford, including a very old burying ground near Falmouth, hoping to obtain some names or inscriptions for this work. The pictures given of Governor and Mrs Garrard were taken from portraits painted by Horace Harding, who pre­ ceded his brother Chester Harding, as an artist, a number of years. These were copies from the originals painted by St. Leger de Happert, of Philadelphia, in 1800. These originals I have. They are not so well executed as the copies by Harding; the canvas is thin, and shows its age of nearly a hundred years. The picture of John Mountjoy Garrard was taken from a miniature painted on ivory, about 1800, and supposed to be by de Happert. That of Judge Garrard is also from a miniature on ivory, painted, it is thought, in New Orleans, after he became advanced in years. I may venture to hope that this fragmentary collection PREFACE. will prove acceptable to all descendants, and that they may derive some satisfaction, if not pleasure, from these pages compiled by one who here places on record her admiration and affection for her worthy and venerated ancestors, whose names are herein recorded, and whose virtues should be held in lasting remembrance by all their descendants. ANNA RUSSELL DES COGNETS. LEXtNGTON, Kv., March 16, 1898. GOVERNOR JAMES GARRARD. This work has, unfortunately, been too long delayed. Information relating to the Garrard family history is now almost impossible to obtain. All of the older generations, who knew all facts and traditions relating to it, have passed away, and the oldest of their descendants now living have retained but little derived from their parents. Extended investigations have been made, but with most unsatisfactory results. The records of Stafford county, Virginia, having been destroyed during the Civil war, all information which they may have given, is hopelessly lost. Those extending from r7oq to 1748 are all gone, and noth­ ing can be found which would indicate the date of the set­ tlement of the Garrards in Virginia. In the absence of records, tradition must be our only guide in tracing them. All traditions agree that the first ancestor was .a French Huguenot, who left France soon after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes; most probably about 1685. Tradition in our branch of the family says: "The Huguenot ancestor left France with two little sons, and went to England.'' Their names, and where they lived in England, cannot be found. Mr. Paul Oeker, of Paris, France, whose wife is a Gar­ rard descendant, has made investigations, in- London and Paris, hoping to find some data that might assist in tracing the early ancestors who left their homes in France for a safer residence in England; but he has obtained nothing from which the origin of the family can be determined in a definite way. Mr. Oeker concludes from all data found in London, that all the Garrard families in England are descended from one and the same French stock, but from long residence 2 GOVERNOR

  • Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett
    Spring Grove Cemetery, once characterized as blending "the elegance of a park with the pensive beauty of a burial-place," is the final resting- place of forty Cincinnatians who were generals during the Civil War. Forty For the Union: Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett f the forty Civil War generals who are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, twenty-three had advanced from no military experience whatsoever to attain the highest rank in the Union Army. This remarkable feat underscores the nature of the Northern army that suppressed the rebellion of the Confed- erate states during the years 1861 to 1865. Initially, it was a force of "inspired volunteers" rather than a standing army in the European tradition. Only seven of these forty leaders were graduates of West Point: Jacob Ammen, Joshua H. Bates, Sidney Burbank, Kenner Garrard, Joseph Hooker, Alexander McCook, and Godfrey Weitzel. Four of these seven —Burbank, Garrard, Mc- Cook, and Weitzel —were in the regular army at the outbreak of the war; the other three volunteered when the war started. Only four of the forty generals had ever been in combat before: William H. Lytle, August Moor, and Joseph Hooker served in the Mexican War, and William H. Baldwin fought under Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian civil war. This lack of professional soldiers did not come about by chance. When the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, its delegates, who possessed a vast knowledge of European history, were determined not to create a legal basis for a standing army. The founding fathers believed that the stand- ing armies belonging to royalty were responsible for the endless bloody wars that plagued Europe.

True to that mode, Jacob Dolson Cox, a long-time Cincinnati resident who is buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, fashioned himself into a Renaissance man. In each of his vocations and avocations— Civil War general, Governor of Ohio, Secretary of the Interior, President of the University of Cincinnati, Dean of the Cincinnati Law School, President of the Wabash Railroad, historian, and scientist— he was recognized as a leader. Cox’s greatest fame, however, is as the foremost participant-historian of the Civil War. His accounts of the conflict are to this day cited by serious scholars and serve as a foundation for the interpretation of many aspects of the war.
