From stories collected by Jim Luke Garrett and Ed Woliver of
Lee Co., VA, 1934; "They say that a tale is handed down that
Luke Garrett once lived in Ireland, having been born there. It
is said that he quarrelled with his mother, when he was very
young, possibly 13 or 14 over carrying some water and that he
hit his mother with a water piggin, and that she was getting
ready to whip him. When he ran away from home, going down to
the coast he was picked up by a ship, and kidnapped and brought
to American and bound out as a slave or apprentice for seven
years. He was either in Virginia or Pennsylvania. Sometimes
later, a brother of his, William, joined him in Pennsylvania."
