    _TODO:
    Benjamin Garratt marriage c 1780. So far first child was born 1785, but could be one earlier. Marbletown Reformed Dutch Church (or Dutch Reformed?) was at Stone Ridge.

    Land:
    He "settled on land lying between that of the pioneer, [Daniel] Reynolds, and his brother Isaac".

    "At this time salmon were so abundant in the lake, that fishermen could stand on the beach and spear them".
