Montauban France
Situated on the banks of the Tarn River, 53 km north of Toulouse, the mid-sized city of Montauban is the birthplace of painter Ingres. The highlight of a visit to the old town center, marked by the pink-brick houses characteristic of the area, is a stop in place Nationale. Surrounded by double vaulted arcades housing shops and cafes, it is the center of activity in the ancient center. The 14th-century Pont-Vieux, located off the place du Coq, affords a nice view of the river.

Hello Everyone:
   
Edwanna Chenault, of the Isaac Garrison Association, has recently provided Denzil Garrison's document of "The Family of Isaac Garrison, Father and Son, of Surry County.
I thought you would all appreciate their hard work and information. The following is an exact reprint of his work:
   
"Isaac Garrison, Sr., and his family, came to what was then Rowan County, North Carolina about 1755, and settled on Lick Creek, at a place which was later in Surry County, and later still in Stokes County.
The Garrison family is of French Huguenot ancestry, having been driven from France at the time of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, in 1685. This family had lived for many years in the city of Montauban, France. Most of the Garrisons left France after the year 1681, and scattered to Holland, England, Ireland, and finally to the New World.
In the year 1705, the progenitor of the Surry County Garrisons filed his naturalization papers from the English parliament in Staten Island, New York. These papers reflected that he, Isaac Garrison, was the son of Isaac Garrison and Catherine de Romanac, both of Montauban, France. One branch of the family remained in Montauban, occupying the family estates, and its descendants still reside there. The French spelling of the name is Garrisson and our cousins there in Montauban have been most happy to greet their American kinsmen, and members of the French family have visited their cousins here in America. The relationship has been a cherished one for all concerned.
The Isaac Garrison who was naturalized in 1705 was married to Jeanne. An early report showed her maiden name to be Ragnar, but later research proves that her name was Jeanne Minvielle, daughter of Piere Minvielle, another Huguenot, also from Montauban, France.
Isaac Garrison, born about 1705, was the son of Isaac Garrison and Jeanne Minvielle, his wife. He was probably born in New York. In the year 1727, the son, Isaac Garrison, married Elizabeth Lawrence, in the Province of New Jersey. The license for this marriage was issued in Salem County, New Jersey, on March 24, 1727, and the occupation of Isaac Garrison was shown to be that of a cordwainer, which was the early name for a leather worker, or a shoe or saddle maker. Isaac Garrison, Sr. then moved to Orange County, Virginia, where he bought land in 1737, which he then sold in 1742 to Moses Teague, who also later lived in Rowan County, North Carolina. While Isaac Garrison, Sr. lived in Western Virginia, his son Isaac Garrison, Jr., was probably born there in 1732. Following his calling, he moved on to western Maryland, where he established a leather works in Frederick County. He took up land there, but lost it in a lengthy title controversy. He named his Maryland land "Garrison's Choice", and after he lost the title fight, the winner renamed it "Garrison's Loss".
Then Isaac Garrison moved on to North Carolina.
The earliest known written record of Isaac Garrison, Sr. in North Carolina, is found in the diary of the Moravian town of Bethabara, in the year 1756. The record shows that an elderly man named Garrison, who had came from Virginia, was served breakfast, and had revealed that he was the uncle of Captain Nicholas Garrison, the commander of a Moravian passenger ship, and that he lived fourteen miles from Bethabara. Such description fits the Lick Creek area, in Surry and later Stokes County, where Isaac Garrison settled, and later received his land patents. An even earlier Moravian account of Isaac Garrison is found in the report of two missionaries about their trip through Maryland and Virginia in 1749. On October 30 of that year, they reported sharing a squirrel breakfast with Isaac Garrison, at his campsite on the Potomac River, near Hagerstown, Maryland. He indentified himself as a cousin of Captain Nicholas Garrison, who was well known to the missionaries. This Isaac Garrison was Isaac Jr., who moved with his father Isaac Garrison into the Lick Creek area before 1756. Isaac Garrison, Sr. owned land on both sides of the Potomac River at this place. To this very day, the site of the "squirrel breakfast" is denoted on maps as "Garrison Hollow". This site is approximately 2 miles east of Fort Frederick, Maryland.
The tax list of Rowan County in 1768 lists Isaac Garrison, Sr., his son Isaac Garrison, and Paul Garrison, with son Thomas. Isaac Garrison, Sr. is listed in the Surry tax list of 1771, with two males, and both Isaac Garrison, Sr. and Isaac Garrison, are listed in 1772. In the Surry tax list of 1774, they are listed as "Isaac Garrison, Jr., and his father Isaac Garrison".
Isaac Garrison, Sr. died in 1778, and his estate was probated in Surry County. His widow, Elizabeth (Lawrence) Garrison, relinquished her right of administration, and Benjamin Watson was named administrator.
The sons of Isaac Garrison, Sr. were: Isaac, Jr.; Joseph who removed to Jefferson County, in east Tennessee; James a Revolutionary Pensioner, who removed to Illinois, and founded a large branch of the family; and probably Paul, who removed to Grayson County, Virginia where he was later joined by his brother Isaac, Jr., and Paul later removed to Jackson County, Tennessee before 1802; and probably William, who seems to have remained in Virginia. Other possible brothers in this family were Moses, Samuel and Aaron Garrison, who settled in Rockingham County, North Carolina before moving west. It is believed that Isaac Garrison, Sr. had several daughters, although they have not yet been identified.
Isaac Garrison, Jr. remained in the Lick Creek area, and is listed in the Surry tax lists of 1783, 1784, 1785, 1786, 1788 and in 1789 he is listed with Thomas Pratt, a Revolutionary War soldier who married Sarah (Sally) Garrison, daughter of Isaac Garrison, in that year. The pension record of Thomas Pratt is W1075, and he served in the 10th North Carolina Continental Line. Isaac Garrison, Jr. was also a soldier of the Revolution. He is recognized as a Revolutionary Ancestor by the Daughers of the American Revolution.
In the year 1790, after the formation of Stokes County, the Stokes census list for that year reflects the presence of Isaac Garrison and Thomas Pratt.
Isaac Garrison, Jr. had two wives. The first was named Ballinger, first name unknown, and the second was Martha, last name unknown. His sons were Isaac III, who lived and died in Grayson County, Virginia; John Sr., who lived and died in Lee County, Virginia; David, who removed to Barry County, Missouri; Joseph, who removed to Camden County, Missouri; William, who removed to Christian County, Missouri; and James C., who removed with his father to Greene County, Missouri. Two daughters of Isaac Jr. have been identified, Sarah (Sally), wife of Thomas Pratt, who lived in Hawkins County, Tennesse; and Mary, who married John Looney, and removed to Greene County, Missouri, and later to California, where she died. Isaac Jr. probably had four other daughters who have not been identified as yet.
In 1790, Isaac Garrison left North Carolina. He moved to Grayson County, Virginia, after having sold the last of the 982 acres of land he owned in Surry and Stokes. His youngest child and son, James C. Garrison, was born in Grayson County.
In the year 1795, Isaac Garrison and Thomas Pratt were again listed in Stokes County. After that year, they finally removed to Hawkins County, in east Tennessee, where Isaac Garrison remained until 1831, when he and his youngest son, James C., removed to Greene County, Missouri. Isaac Garrison made the trip at the ripe old age of 100 years, and lived in Greene County, Missouri, where he was buried in 1836, at the age of 104. Over 5500 direct descendants of this old patriarch have been identified, and they have formed a permanent family organization known as "The Isaac Garrison Family Association, Inc." Regular reunions of the Association are held, and a newsletter is published regularly. New memberships are welcomed.

Who were the Huguenots?
   

The Huguenots were French Protestants, who were members of the Reformed Church established by John Calvin about 1550. The origin of the word Huguenot is disputed. It was used as a nickname first in Geneva, Switzerland, where many had fled from France. 

A General Edict urging extermination of the Heretics (Huguenots) was issued 29 January 1536. On 1 March 1562, some 1200 Huguenots were slain at Vassey, France. This ignited the Wars of Religion which would rip apart, devastate, and bankrupt France for the next three decades. The Massacre of St. Bartholomew in which thousands of Huguenots were killed took place on 24 August 1575. 

The Edict of Nantes, signed by Henry IV on 13 April 1598, ended the French Wars of Religion. The Huguenots were allowed free exercise of their religion in 20 specified towns in France. 

The Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, signed by Louis XIV on 22 October 1685, increased persecutions of the Huguenots again. At least 200,000 French Protestants fled France to friendly nations, such as Switzerland, Germany, Holland, and Britain. Between 1618 and 1725 about 5000 to 7000 Huguenot refugees reached the shores of America. The largest concentration was in New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and South Carolina. 

The Promulgation of the Edict of Toleration, 28 November 1787, partially restored the civil and religious rights of the Huguenots in France.

    Huguenot Cross Description

As time passed, different stories arose about the origins of the Huguenot Cross. However, all of them agree that it was worn for the first time in the Cevennes. The cross evolved through tragic circumstances.

During the prosecution of the Huguenots, their religious gatherings had to be kept secret. They were usually held in caves and other secret places, and conducted by one of the members. With weddings and christenings, they had to wait until the preacher was in the neighbourhood.
One day, somewhere in the Cevennes, a group of Huguenots had gathered. The preacher was busy marrying four young couples when the dread
