In 1687, the colonial governor asked the counties for a list of those able to bear arms for either horse or foot service, and William Garten was included in the list returned by Lancaster Co., Virginia, 14 December 1687. The qualification the county court put on the list is interesting. They did not individually identify the capabilities of any of the members:
"In obedience to your Excellency directed to this court for the returning an account of all such persons that are able to bear arms both for horse and foot service in this county we have duely examined ye list of the freeholders and housekeepers inhabiting ye said county and we do find upon ye due enquiry that many of them are very poor despicable persons. We have returned your Excellency the full number expressed by your order as followeth."3
William left a will dated at Christ Church Parish, 20 December 1709, and the inventory was taken 3 Feb 1709/10. He named:
sons Uriah, James, and Anthony Garton
daughters Katherine Garton and Margaret
Esther Mugg (no relationship given)
