      REF: "Garners of Texas A Personal History" by Bascom N. Timmons, Harper & Bros. Publishers, New York, avail. at San Augustine (TX?) Public Library & Houston, Harris Co, TX library: Said John Nance Garner was "Scotch in the male line & Welsh in the other." Mentions the Garners were a well-off family that had "found the way to education & business success" & had fought for both the King vs. the French & for Geo. Washington vs. the King. Also mentions the Garners "had moved west on the outer rim of advancing civilization" but were "not without roots".

      From: James Garner (b. 1955) james-at-dec1.as.unf.edu: The information I have on John Garner (b1633) parents comes from the International Genealogical Index (IGI). Both Richard Garner and Thomas Garner had a son John Garner in about 1633 in England. I believe the evidenc is slightly higher for Thomas and Mary being his parents because our John Garner had a son he named Thomas and a daughter he named Mary. This is the only reason I have for favoring Thomas and Mary.
