James K. P. Garrison (1847-1914) was undoubtedly named for James Knox Polk, the 11th President of the United States, who served from 1845 to 1849. He was President when James was born.
The 1880 Gage County, Nebraska Census shows James and family living there and the children's birth dates indicate that they moved there from Illinois between 1877 and 1879.
