- Most Garretts in the DNA study have the number 13 or 14 for DYS393. The Garretts of this line have the number 12 for DYS393. One of the contributors believes his roots are in 1661 Leicestershire. The others show Amelia, Bristol, Buckingham, and Henrico Counties, Virginia as their known origin
Born in Hose, Leicestershire, England; married and moved to Harby, Leicestershire, England; then immigrated to America in 1684 after purchasing 203 acres of land. His son Samuel purchased an additional 60 acres. Combined, the two purchases would today cover most of the area between State and Garrett Roads, from Naylor's Run to Burmont Road. Samuel, who inherited his father's homestead in 1724, changed the spelling of the family name to Garrett and continued to purchase more land within the township. At one time, the family owned 1,110 acres of land in Upper Darby, nearly all the area now called Drexel Hill. The Garret Family farm and homestead, "Thornfield," became a way station on the underground railroad, and it is alleged that many fugitive slaves were quartered and fed on the farm. "Thornfield" consisted of a house (completed about 1800), 50 acres of dairy farm, and a tannery. The Garrett Family's "Thornfield" home still stands today at 3218 Garrett Road in Drexel Hill. William Garat died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
