Claude Garamond's legacy is rather complex and one which I had been meaning to figure out for myself for a while.
It begins with Garamond's death in 1561 when his estate was sold and dispersed throughout Europe, to Antwerp, Holland, with Christophe Plantin, to Frankfurt, Germany, with André Wechel and Jacques Sabon, the latter a student of Garamond's, and to Italy with Guillaume Le Bé.
From the first branch, that of Claude Garamond's students, comes a different set of types considered truer to the master's original design including Monotype's 1913 “Plantin” by F.H. Pierpont—which served as the inspiration for Times New Roman; Stempel's 1925 “Stempel Garamond”; Linotype's 1928 “Granjon” by George Jones; Ludlow Typograph Company's 1930 “Garamond” by R.

 | Garamond | Typophile
What most of the Garamonds have in common is that they are more-or-less accurate revivals either of type cut by Claude Garamond in the late fifteenth century, or of type cut by Jean Jannon in the mid-16th century.
In the early twentieth century the producers of matrices for machine setting were keen to revive or recut historical typefaces, and several versions of typefaces named for Garamond, and supposedly based on his typefaces, were produced: by ATF in 1918, by Lanston Monotype (drawn by Frederic Goudy) in 1921, and by English Monotype in 1922.
Because of the profusion of garamond-like typefaces and the early confusion around its naming, it is common to see a typeface referred to as a garamond, the way we might categorize a typeface as a flletter or a script.

 CAP Online Feature: The history of typefaces, Part One, by Jean-Francois Porchez
In Lyons, Robert Granjon sur-passed Claude Garamond with the notion of the italic and cut, between 1543 and 1590, close to 100 founts including roman, italic, Hebrew, arabesque and fleuron characters.
At Claude Garamond’s death (1561), his types and matrices were broken up, many of which were acquired, notably, by Christophe Plantin, an Antwerp printer.
A part of the Garamond foundry was purchased by the printer Egenolff of Geneva: Sabon (Jan Tschichold, 1964) was inspired by a specimen from this printer (Jacques Sabon was the head of the studio).
