Peter was a farmer by trade. He came in late one evening, went to the barn around dusk to care for the cattle. He encountered someone in his barn. It is thought a struggle began with a runaway slave from Georgia. Peter was murdered with a large stick he kept in the barn. The slave was caught and burnt at stake, in the Greenville City Square, by outraged citizens.
Peter was buried on "Old Garrison Home Place - on what is now Highway 20, about two and a half miles north of Peltzer or one and a half miles south of Piedmont." He was buried with his mother (Elizabeth Frances Barksdale Garrison), and his father, (David Garrison, Sr.).
His wife was Martha Wood Garrison, Findagrave Memorial: 230096424 - She is buried in the Charles Family Cemetery, Piedmont, Greenville, SC
