Garoutte family
originally published to my old rootsweb site, circa 2003 Thanks to Jane Garoutte, a visitor to these pages, for this info. To contact her for, send an e-mail to jagwire@verizon.net. Please note that much of these details are from other researchers or the 3rd edition of "Garoutte Family History 1775-1985", by Ellan Douglas Thiesen. Pleasant Mills is mentioned frequently as the home of Michael Garoutte and his wife, Sophia Smith, daughter of Quaker innkeeper, James Smith. Most of the thirteen children of Michael Garoutte and Sophia Smith were reportedly born in New Jersey. Please note that I have not verified actual birth places for these individuals. Also of note is that Michael Garroute is supposed to be buried at the cemetery in Pleasant Mills, but I have transcribed nearly the entire cemetery and have yet to come across his headstone(although there are still a few left to be done, so he may turn up yet.) This is the unofficial genealogy, as far as we know right now. As
