NOTES:
============ Capt James  Garmany =========
James  Garmany was the son of John Garmany Jr. and
Sophia Feltman.  John Garmany Jr. emigrated from
Armagh County, Ireland, with his father John
Garmany and two brothers, William and Hugh.  They
arrived by ship at Charleston, SC, August 6, 1785.
They settled in Newberry, SC, with William
departing for Kentucky and Hugh departing for
Murfeesboro, TN, in 1786. While these were not the
first Garmanys to come to America, the earlier
immigrants died and the records that we have been
able to locate indicate that this family
represented the first Garmany to come to America
and have the surname survive.

James Garmany had four brothers (John, George,
William and Hammon/Hamilton) and two sisters
(Peggy and Mary).

Records do not indicate when John moved his family
to Gwinnett County, Georgia, nor why Hamilton
subsequently moved to Walker County, Georgia.  I
believe that John moved his family there when his
brother, Dr. James Garmany married Mary Selina
Dunlap of Gwinnett County, Georgia, and continued
to reside there after the marriage 1/1/1835.  Dr.
James Garmany died in Sheltonville, GA, 12/16/1862
and was buried in Lawrenceville, GA. 


Hamilton Garmany married Margaret McDill and
together they had six children: John, Washington,
Newton, Jernigan, Josephine, and Frances.

I have more information on Dr. James Garmany since
I am a descendent of his rather than Hamilton
Garmany.  He was my Great-great-grandfather.  My
great-grandmother, Isla Selina Garmany was born in
Atlanta on 12/31/1859. Her sister was born in
Gwinnett County, GA.

Family records indicate that Cpt. Hamilton Garmany
commanded the battle of Shepherd's Plantation
during the Creek Indian War and that he was
wounded during that battle.

If I can be of more assistance, please let me
know.  Also, if you happen to have any information
on the Garmany family in Gwinnett County,
Lawrenceville, Sheltonville or Atlanta, I would
appreciate receiving that information.
