John and Mary Catherine, known as Molly, had a farm outside of Lebanon, Missouri, but John went to work at a store in town when Peggy was a young girl.  He also filled in as pastor when the traveling preacher was not in town. They left Missouri for California in about 1908.

John's father, John Marietta Garland, was born 27 February 1823. I don't know where. He died 2 March 1901 in Lebanon, Missouri, and was buried at the Flatwoods Cemetery in Lebanon.  His father's name was Jacob Garland, who died at 80 years of age and is also buried at Flatwood Cemetery.

John's mother, Mary Jane Williams, was born 5 June 1826 in Dronfield, Derbyshire, England, and died 2 April 1896 in Lebanon. She is buried next to her husband. 

This brings me to another family branch dead end.
