We intersperse the hobbies of geocaching and genealogy during our travels. One “geocaching” day our search took us to a small Alabama cemetery. While my husband focused on finding the hidden cache, I started looking at some of the older gravestones nearby. The gravestone of John Garrett piqued my curiosity, since Garrett is a surname I’m researching. However, the tombstone next to John’s really got my attention. When I saw the words “daughter of Asel Greer” I realized that it was not the Garrett name that connected – it was Greer. John Garrett’s wife, Martha Jane (Greer) Garrett was my first cousin 6x removed. There’s also information on the web stating that John & Martha Jane (Greer) Garrett are the grandparents of Sheriff Pat Garrett who was supposed to have shot Billy the Kid.

I almost never leave responses, however after reading a
few of the comments on "Geocaching & Genealogy".
I do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright. Could it be just me or do a few of these comments come across like they are left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting at additional online sites, I'd like to
follow you. Would you post a list of every one of all your public sites like
your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

Hey! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form?
I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having problems finding one?
Thanks a lot!
