David was commissioned a Lieut. in the 7th Regiment, Madison Co. Mississippi Territory in 1816. Then in 1823/4 and 1826/7 he was a Justice of the Peace in Cotaco, Morgan Co., AL. In 1833 he was still a landowner in Morgan County but by 1842 he can be found in Tishomingo Co., MS. He was in MS through 1855, and perhaps longer. In 1860 he was back in Frankfort, Franklin County, AL. David and Margaret had five children: John G., Sarah S/A., William Stuart, Margaret Emeline (Kittie), and Eliza. He was not in the 1870 census of Franklin Co. although his son, John, was. We do not have the death date for him at this time although it was probably close to 1870.

George is said to have been named for his Uncle George W. Twitty, a prominent citizen of Colbert Co., AL. George Garrett moved to Hill Co., TX at age 21 in 1886. Following his father-in-law, he was one of the first of many to move there from Colbert Co., AL.

George was active in civic affairs in his farm community at Jesse and dedicated to his church affiliation. He was instrumental in organizing the Sunday school in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, serving a number of years as superintendent of the Sunday school, as well as an Elder of the Church. George was a trustee on the School board at Jesse where he owned a large cotton farm. He was a member of Masonic Lodge #196 in Hillsboro; he owned property in the Hillsboro area. In 1913, the family moved to a home in Hillsboro, the seat of Hill County. There he was elected City Alderman in 1914, serving two terms. In 1920 he was elected State Representative with the 37th Texas legislature, then in 1922 he was re-elected to the 38th legislature.

The flag was flown at half-mast at Austin when George was accidently killed in a hunting accident. Funeral services were at Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Jesse. George was a devoted husband and father, and he always had a helping hand for anyone in need. It is said by friends that George was one of the best men that ever lived.

For the 1910 census George�s nephew John W. Garrett (age 17, born in Alabama) was living with the family on the farm they were buying in Hill County. In 1920 his niece Mila Garrett (age 21, born in Texas) was enumerated with this family, on their farm on the Hillsboro and Abbott Road in the same county.
