From the History of the 13th Regiment, Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry, US Army

DEATH OF JAMES L. GARRISON.
Motte and Duff had committed so many crimes upon these Union people that a
number of Union men determined to put a stop to it. Learning that they were to
be at the house of Melvina Hilton, in Elizabethton, on a certain night,
Elbridge and Robert Treadway, James L. Garrison and some other Union men,
including four or five colored men who had been in hiding and had a camp in
the mountains near a place called Queen's Station, about four miles south, or
southeast of Elizabethton, came intn town and surrounded Mrs. Hilton's house,
stationing men at the doors and windows. Motte and Duff, with one or two
others (citizens), were sitting at a table playing cards, in a small room at
the south side of the house, which had but one door and one small window.
Tread-way called on them to surrender. They arose from the table and
barricaded the door with a bedstead so that it would open only far enough for
Duff to reach his pistol through the opening and fire on the men outside. This
he did, fatally shooting Garrison and seriously wounding one of the colored
men, and was severely wounded in the wrist himself. The attacking party being
unable to force the door or get into the small -window without serious loss of
life, withdrew and the two men escaped. The colored man was removed and soon
afterwards made his way to the Federal lines. Garrison was taken back into the
mountains and his wound was finally dressed by Dr. H. T. Berry, a rebel
citizen, and he lingered some time in great agony.

Garrison was a good, kind-hearted man, true to his principles and loyal to his
country. He was about 45 years old, and left a widow and seven children, the
oldest 12 years. His widow, Mrs. Hannah Garrison is still living and resides
with her son at Valley Forge, Tennessee.

James married Hannah Culbert on 16 Sep 1850 in Carter County, , , Tennessee. Hannah (daughter of Robert Culbert and Mary (Culbert)) was born about 1831 in , Giles County, Tennessee, ; died about 1900 in Carter County, , , Tennessee; was buried in Smith Cemetery, , Carter County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In the 1900 Carter County, TN Census, Hannah is listed as 69 years old and is living with her son John Clingman Garrison and his wife Mary.

Ansel married Nancy Catherine Grindstaff about 1862 in Carter County, , , Tennessee. Nancy (daughter of Andrew Jackson "A.J." Grindstaff and Malinda Pritchett) was born in Oct 1846 in Carter County, , , Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
