This is an e-mail I got from a lady who knew a little bit about the Garretson's but didn't know how Frank I. Garretson (Poppi) was related...

Subject: garretsons at head of river cemetary posting in genforuum
Just read your posting of 6/14/06 (my wedding
anniversary) I do not know exactly who your
grandfather is, but as far as I know Milton and
Townsend were brothers. Annie E, was their mother.
The garretson family from what I have been told lived
in my house at one time, before 1900, (this is why I
am interested). They also lived across the street,
For sure!) There was also a sister, (I think) to
Milton and Townsend, who lived to be over a hundred.
Her married name was Ingersoll and she is also buried
at Head of the River. The lady that inherited her
house, the one across the street from me, was Edith
Navone (originally Garretson) She lived in Vineland,
and her brother lived near to her. The house sat for
several years unlived in. Edith told me that Annie
Ingersoll was her great aunt. She told me that Reuben
lived in my house and he was her grandfather. I am not
sure which Reuben, I am trying to find that out. There
was a family bible in the house (across the street)
that was sold with it. I cannot Find what was done
with it, I was told that it had been donated to a
historical society, but cannot find it locally. There
was a list of family members in there that I copied by
hand, but only goes to 1837. There was also a picture
of my house that Edith said was of her grandfather
Reuben, and his family in front of it. That was also
sold with the house and has disappeared. Though I
have a Picture I took of it with my camera. It is
possible that Frank is a brother of Edith, or another
branch of the family. There were a few Garretson
families that I have found that lived both in Corbin
City, Tuckahoe, or Petersburg. Though there seems to
be none now. Hoping that you have found out more since
the original posting. Please feel free to email back,
and I will send you the list of names in the bible and
can send you a copy of a newspaper article of Annie
ingersoll,( by snail mail). I live down the road from
the cemetery and when it gets warmer will make a trip
down to see the graves.
