Notes:

_TODO:
Benjamin GARRATT likely died after 1820 in Hallowell Township or Hillier Township, Prince Edward County. There is a Benjamin Garratt from Hillier probated in 1868 - #151. Is this too late? Can I order from Ontario Archives? Can order from FamilySearch.

Use copy already printed. Start a word document for errors (like Wellington Cemetery corrections document). Contact Frankie Harth. Pages in Garratt family file folder "Garratt - Frankie Harth".

_TODO:
They were living in Marbletown Township, Ulster County in 1790 census. Entry is digital but not edited. Also see Isaac on same census.

_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. FamilySearch has several films - I think most are transcriptions. Baptisms 1746-1944. Marriages 1796-1930. See sheet in "Garratt" family file folder.

_TODO:
Was Benjamin still in Marbletown in 1800? I don't think so. Was he in Upper Canada or northern NY state? See Garratt file folder.

Military:
Benjamin joined the Dutchess County Militia.

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

Occupation:
They were "for some time unable to grow wheat and their staff of life consisted of rye bread, a staple food which seems to have palled on the taste of the family, especially of the children".

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

Land:
He paid Philip Dorland "seventy five pounds lawful money of the said province" for the land. The Bargain and Sale was not registered until March 2, 1826 at Picton. It became instrument #1074 in the copybook pages 56 and 57.
The witnesses were Robert Hubbs, Betsey Dorland and Arnoldi Dorland.
It was signed by Benjamin Garratt.
The land registrar for the District of Prince Edward in 1826 was James Cotter.

Religion:
Benjamin Garrat and his wife Margaret were listed as members of the "AB" or Ameliasburgh Meeting of the West Lake Monthly Meeting.

Benjamin married Margaret. Margaret was born about 1763 in United States; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
