Garrett Brick wall breaks

After hours of research and thought I have concluded that Charles F Garrett's parents were Orville Lyman Garrett and Mary D McColem.
Using many sources I have come to the above conclusion.

Here are some observations:
 
In 1860 Orville Lyman Garrett is living in Jackson County Ohio with his family. See Census. Matthew Garret listed as James M. Source Census.

In 1863 Orville dies in McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio. http://files.usgwarchives.net/oh/newspapers/telescope/1863/obits.txt

1870 Mary D is remarried and is married to Samuel Barr in Mercer County Pa. Note children from marriage to Orville still with her.
Annie M, Matthew J, and Charles F Garrett, George Garrett age 6.
Annie M Barr age 4.  Source Census.

In 1880 Mary D Palmet is living in West Middlesex, Mercer County Pa.
George Garrett is 16 living there. Also a Mary E Palmet age 14 is this Annie M Barr ? Living next door is Charles F. Garrett's future mother in law Marilda Reed Davis mother of Mollie Reed, Charles' future wife.   Source Census.

In 1880 Charles and Matthew are in Minneapolis Mn. Source Census.

1930 Census Orville Lyman Garrett living in West Middlesex Pa with George H Barr and Anna Barr listed as cousin. In 1972 Orville is living in Mercer county working at a Sanitarium......... source WWII draft registration.


Charles and Mollie had the following children,

Orville Lyman Garrett, Charles F Jr, Harry Primrose, (named after Mollie's brother), Thomas Matthew, William Edward. Maude, Elizabeth, and Mabel.

At some point I hope to get to Mercer County Pa to do additional research.
