Abraham's second wife was Lydia (Baughman) Crocker. The Civil War Pension File of Lydia's first husband, Myron Crocker, provides evidence that Myron's wife was Lydia Baughman and that after Myron's death in the Civil War, Lydia remarried to Abraham Garn of Union Twp., Marshall Co., Ohio. The file reports the dates and places of both marriages and names three of Myron and Lydia's children who were minors at the time she applied for a widow's pension. When she married Abraham Garn, the two youngest were still minors. Guardianship Papers executed in Marshall Co., Indiana, named David Garn as guardian of her two minor children, this David Garn being a son of Abraham Garn.
In addition to the children listed below, Abraham Garn and Susan Garn had two sons whose grave markers have not been located. A son Mandes Edward, born in 1853, lived in St. Joseph, Berrien Co., Michigan, and died there in 1909. A son Francis Aaron Garn, born in 1855, lived in Three Rivers, St. Joseph Co., Michigan, where he died in 1889.
