The name Gardiner appears in English Medieval registers, and the earliest recorded (1273) ones include the French masculine article, "le". One of the earliest of the Gardiner names found are Geoffrey le Gardiner, of Oxfordshire; Ralph le Gardiner, of Huntingdonshire; and William le Gardiner, of Lincolnshire.

Several Gardiner-Gardner families in England have been granted armorial bearings, some of the resembling each other in essential features, and others in minor details. Sir Osbern Gardiner, of Wigan Co., Lancashire, has a Coat of Arms nearly identical to the one belonging to the Gardiner family of Newport, Rhode Island. There is a tradition that Sir Osbern (b. 1128) earned the crest on his Coat of Arms in 1191 by chopping through the shoulder of a saracen who was about to kill Richard Couer de Lion.

In the Americas, George Gardiner of Newport spelled his name with an "i", as did most of his relatives who remained in Rhode Island. Those of the family who moved to Connecticut generally dropped the "i", possibly to distinguish them from the Lion Gardiner family of Gardiner's Island, New York.

"The family name of Gardiner, in it's numberous variety of forms, can be traced back in English history to William the Conqueror, who in the year 1066, defeated the Saxon King, Harold, in the Battle of Hastings and subsequently introduced the Medieval European civilization to the British Isles. Both men, William Des Jardine and William the Conqueror, have been identified by historians as great Grandsons of William the Longsword...
[ William's father was Robert I, sixth Duke of Normandy. He was no older than 21 at the time of William's birth, and came from a family with a rich heritage. He was a direct descendant of Rollo the Viking, ruler of Neustria, who landed in Normandy and claimed the land after being ejected from Norway by the king. Rollo's power was inherited first by William, nicknamed 'Longsword' (d.942), then Duke Richard I (942-966), then by William the Conqueror's grandfather, Duke Richard II. **]

The family name of DES JARDINE (pronounced De-Shar-de-ne') apparently was not passed down from William the Longsword but resulted from the marriage of William Des Jardine's father to William the Longsword's granddaughter... Since the family-name of GARDINER was first introduced into the British Isles as DES JARDINE, it remained unchanged in the areas of heavy Norman population for perhaps a century before it became De Jardine, then Jardine, Gardine, etc. In the areas more heavily populated by the Romans it became De Gardino, D'Gardino, etc. In the areas more heavily populated by the Britions, Danes and Saxons, it appeared in the Twelfth Century as De Jardin, Jardin, Gardin, etc...Geographical location also played a major role in determining how family names were spelled. In Scotland, for example, GARDINER was known as Gardenkirk. In Wales it was spelled Gardynyr. Across the line in Gloustershire it was slightly altered to read Gardyner..."

John Gardiner b c 1446 Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, England md Helen (Ellen) Tudor b abt 1459 --was reputed to be an illegitimate daughter of Jasper Tudor, [c. 1431-1495] Earl of Pembroke, 1st Duke of Bedford.and Mevanvy? ___ a Welsh woman. She was the wife of a cloth merchant known alternately as William Gardiner or John Gardiner .

---Jasper Tudor, 1st Duke of Bedford (c. 1431 – December 21/26, 1495) was the uncle of King Henry VII of England and the architect of his successful conquest of (A division of the United Kingdom) England and (One of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland; during Roman times the region was known as Cambria) Wales in 1485.
---Jasper was the third son of Owen Tudor and the former queen Katherine of Valois, widow of King (Son of Henry IV and King of England from 1413 to 1422; reopened the Hundred Years' War and defeated the French at Agincourt (1387-1422)) Henry V.

  -- In 1530 Bishop Stephen Gardiner was sent to Cambridge to procure the decision of the university as to the unlawfulness of marriage with a deceased brother's wife, in accordance with the new plan devised for settling the question without the pope's intervention. In this he succeeded, though not without a good deal of artifice, more creditable to his ingenuity than to his virtue. In November 1531 the king rewarded him for his services with the bishopric of Winchester, vacant by Wolsey's death. **

---Gardiner, Stephen, 1493?–1555, English prelate.
--- He studied civil and canon law, and became Master of Trinity Hall, Cambridge.
--- He became secretary to Thomas (later Cardinal) Wolsey and later secured the favor of Henry VIII by a mission to Rome to further the king's plans for divorce from Katharine of Aragón.
--- He was made bishop of Winchester (1531) and wrote De vera obedientia (On true obedience) (1535), justifying the royal supremacy in ecclesiastical affairs.
--- Thomas Cromwell's fall was in part due to him, and he was the probable author of the Six Articles (1539), which reaffirmed the king's adherence to medieval church doctrines as against those of the Reformation.
--- Gardiner allied with conservative religious faction led by the Duke of Norfolk, and played a part in the fall of Thomas Cromwell, he was deprived of his bishopric and was imprisoned in the Tower of London during Edward VI's reign for 5 years.
---In 1550, Gardiner was deprived of his bishopric, to which, however, he was restored on the accession of Mary Tudor in 1553. Aug 23, 1553 he became Lord Chancellor of England and Mary's chief advisor.
--- In September of that same year, the great seal was delivered to him and, on 1st October, he placed the crown on the head of Queen Mary. His share in the Marian persecutions need here only be alluded to. Although it is probable that the number of victims has been greatly exaggerated and that the personal cruelty of Gardiner and Bonner was less ferocious than is usually the fashion to represent it, there can be little doubt but that the former, at least, deserves much of the odium which popular hatred has cast upon his name. "His malice," says Fuller, "was like what is commonly said of white powder, which surely discharged the bullet, yet made no report, being secret in all his acts of cruelty. This made him often chide Bonner, calling him "ass," though not so much for killing poor people, as for not doing it more cunningly."
Great ill-will existed between Gardiner and Cardinal Pole, to which it is said that Cranmer owed the preservation of his life for some months. His execution did not, at all events, take place until after Gardiner's death, which occurred at Westminster in 1555. "I have sinned with Peter," he is said to have exclaimed on his deathbed, " but I have not wept with him." The story told by Fox, that Gardiner refused to dine on the day of the burning of Ridley and Latimer, until he heard from his servants posted along the road, that the faggots were kindled about them, and that whilst at table he was seized with mortal illness, has been effectively disproved. After lying in state at Southwark, he was conveyed to Winchester in a cart, hung with black and having his effigy in episcopal robes placed without it. His chantry chapel may still be seen on the north side of the altar at Winchester Cathedral. **

  --- ** In 1544 was employed as his secretary, was put to death for treason in reference to the king's supremacy, and his enemies insinuated to the king that he himself was of his secretary's way of thinking. But in truth the king had need of him quite as much as he had of Cranmer; for it was Gardiner, who even under royal supremacy, was anxious to prove that England had not fallen away from the faith, while Cranmer's authority as primate was necessary to upholding that supremacy. Thus Gardiner and the archbishop maintained opposite sides of the king's church policy; and though Gardiner was encouraged by the king to put up articles against the archbishop himself for heresy, the archbishop could always rely on the king's protection in the end. Heresy was gaining ground in high places, especially after the king's marriage with Catherine Parr; and there seems to be some truth in the story that the queen herself was nearly committed for it at one time, when Gardiner, with the king's approbation, censured some of her expressions in conversation. In fact, just after her marriage, four men of the Court were condemned at Windsor and three of them were burned. The fourth, who was the musician Marbeck, was pardoned by Gardiner's procurement.

    ---The principal family of the Gardiners in this country derive their descent from Lion Gardiner, a native of Scotland, who served under General Fairfax in the Low Countries as an engineer. He was sent to this country in 1635, by Lords Say and Sele, Brooke, and others, to build a fort, and make a settlement on their grant at the mouth of the Connecticut river. --On 10 July 1635 Lion Gardiner left Worden, taking passage at Rotterdam for London, and on 16 August set sail for New England, being 3 months and 10 days from Gravesend to Boston. Early in 1636 the good ship "Batchelor" of twenty-five tons, which had carried himself and family safely from Holland to England and across the Atlantic, through many tempests, bore them safely to their destination. The passengers are mentioned as 12 men and 2 women with freight for the construction of the Fort. Iorn work for two drawbridges; consisting of 62 staples, 40 staple hooks for Port-cullis, 4 chains, 10 boults, 4 plates, 8 chain-clasps, 4 under-hinges, 23 1/2 yards of red flagg-stuff, small lines and a wheel-barrow are mentioned. Lieutenant Gardiners household consisted of himself aged 36, his wife Mary aged 34, Elizabeth Collett, maid servant age 23, and William Jope workmaster aged 40, who all brought certificates from a Calvinistic church in Holland. --- He built the fort at Saybrook, which name he gave to it after the names of his patrons Lords Say and Brooke.. He then moved with his family, and gave it the name of Gardiner's Island. ---- After 13 years on the Island, he removed to East-Hampton, where he died in 1656 aged 63 years. The Island which he gave to his wife, she bequeathed to her eldest son David; "en-tail" to the first male heirs following forever. Right to the Island was confirmed by grant from the Earl of Sterling, whose patent included territory in which it was embraced, after the islands of the Sound passed to New Netherlands. Under the grant, David Gardiner could make such laws as he pleased, for civil and church government; if "according to God and King."

    In 1664, the English having dispossed the Dutch at New Netherlands, Gardiner obtained from Governor Nichols a new grant, for a quitrent of 5 pounds a year. In 1683, the Island was attached to the County of Suffolk for taxable purposes. David Gardiner feeling aggrieved, petioned the Governor for relief; praying for an Independent Jurisdiction for the Island. Governor Dougans confirmatory grant, created the Island in 1686, "One Lordship and Manor of Gardiners Island". Practically this did not change anything, as the Island was created a Manor by the Earl of Sterlings grant to Davids frather Lion Gardiner. The original document conferring this title, with the unique seal of the Province, is a trophy still preserved; also the Geneva Bible with its family record in Lion Gardiners handwritting. Thus the early proprietors were authorized to call themselves "American Lords"
    --- The island still remains in the possession of the family, having descended in a direct line from Lion Gardiner. (see note below regarding the Island today) ** ** **
    ---Gardiner was an adventurer at an early age. A laudatory description of Gardiner, published in 1885, gushed, ``He was . . . of fine military presence, well proportioned although slightly under the average height, with quiet face, eyes keen, intelligent and deep-set, and the manners and bearing of a gentleman.''
    ---He served in the English army in the Netherlands in his early 30s. There, in a protracted war between Protestants and Catholics, Gardiner earned a reputation as a ``master of works of fortifications'' -- a fort builder.
    ---His fame spread across the ocean, and in 1635 he was summoned by the backers of a fledgling English colony in what would become Connecticut. The tiny colony was in a precarious position -- Dutch traders from New Amsterdam had begun to make inroads into the area, trading from their boats with the local Indians and constructing permanent outposts. By doing so, the Dutch hoped to keep the English from expanding south from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. But the Dutch were the least of the colony's problems. Of even more immediate concern were the Pequots, a group with a fearsome reputation who lived along the same stretch of coastline where the English hoped to build settlements. Records of the day show the English feared and despised the Pequots, as did other Indian groups such as the Mohegans, who lived in the same territory.
    ----Gardiner was 36 years old the year he and his Dutch-born wife, Mary, sailed to Massachusetts aboard the Bachelor, arriving in November after a stormy 31/2-month voyage. The couple spent the winter in Massachusetts, and by April, 1636, they were living with a small group of colonists near the mouth of the Connecticut River. They were well south of the English settlements in an area largely untracked by white men.
    ----Gardiner supervised the construction of a fort near the mouth of the Connecticut River, and commanded it while farms and homesites were carved out of the surrounding wilderness. As the fort was being built, two momentous events happened in his life -- his wife gave birth to their son, David, the first white child born in what is now the state of Connecticut, and a war broke out with the Pequots that would forever change the fort-builder's life.
    ---The event that historians call the Pequot War began with small-scale confrontations between Indians and Englishmen in the area of the fort and up and down the coastline. Distrust built, there were deaths on both sides, and officials of the Massachusetts Bay Colony decided to wage war on the Pequots. While it is clear in his own account -- written as a letter to officials in Connecticut -- that Gardiner distrusted and loathed the Pequots, he opposed an all-out war against them because he feared for his family as well as for the handful of others who were with him in the fort.
    ----``It is all very well for you to make war who are safe in Massachusetts bay, but for myself and these few with me who have scarce holes to put our heads in, you will leave at the stake to be roasted,'' he wrote in his account. ``I have but twenty-four in all, men, women and children, and not food for them for two months, unless we save our corn field which is two miles from home, and cannot possibly be reached if we are in war.''
    ----Gardiner's protests fell on deaf ears. When a group of soldiers -- led by John Underhill and another Englishman, John Mason -- reached the fort, Gardiner said, ``You come hither to raise these wasps about my ears, and then you will take wing and flee away.''
    ----As the soldiers prepared for an attack on a nearby Pequot fort, Gardiner tried to keep his family and the others inside his own ramparts alive. Forays outside the walls to get food were dangerous events; some of his men were caught by Pequots and tortured -- some were burned alive at a stake, their skin peeled off, according to Gardiner's account. One group of men, out on a hay-cutting mission, was set upon by Pequots who ``rose out of the long grass . . . and took the brother of Mr. Mitchell, who is minister of Cambridge, and roasted him alive.''
    ---- Gardiner himself narrowly escaped death when he went outside the fort's walls with 10 armed men and three dogs. A half mile away, they met up with a small band of Pequots -- some of whom were wearing the clothes of murdered English settlers -- and a fight ensued. Almost immediately, two men were killed. As the group fled toward the safety of the fort, another man was shot through the thighs with an arrow, another man was hit in the back, and as Gardiner pulled back toward the fort, he was struck in the thigh. The group, he wrote, had to fight ``with our naked swords or else they (would have) taken us all alive . . .'' In another incident a day or two later, ``I was shot with many arrows . . . but my buff coat preserved me, only one hurt me.''
    ----After these incidents, Underhill and Mason assembled an army of more than 80 men to stay with Gardiner. To beef up the numbers, the English recruited nearby Mohegans -- enemies of the Pequots. This army then attacked the Pequot fort near Mystic, slaughtering men, women and children and setting the building on fire. To historians today, the attack was a massacre unlike anything that had occurred in New England up to that point. To Englishmen at the time, it was a blessing. Gardiner wrote:
    ---- . . . and the Lord God blessed their design and way, so that they returned with victory to the glory of God and honour of our nation, having slain three hundred, burnt their fort, and taken many prisoners.
    ---- Underhill's account, published in London in 1639, boasted that more than 1,000 Pequots were killed, three times Gardiner's estimate. Historians say that English soldiers conducted mop-up operations for months after the attack on the fort, hunting down Pequots hiding in the woods, and killing hundreds more. In a few months in 1637, most members of the tribe were killed.``It was a war of extinction,'' said Kevin McBride, an archeologist at the University of Connecticut.
    ----The Pequots would agree. Today, the descendants of the survivors operate Foxwoods Resort Casino on a site not far from the massacre. They believe their history was distorted. ``The Pequots never wrote down their histories at the time of contact with Europeans,'' said Shannan McNair, a spokeswoman for Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. ``So it's hard to know what was true and was said about the Pequots to justify the massacre.''
    ----After the massacre, Gardiner's life changed forever when an Indian from Long Island paddled his canoe over to Connecticut from Montauk. Spelling the Indian's name ``Waiandance,'' Gardiner wrote in his account:
    ----Three days after the fight came Waiandance, next brother to the old Sachem of Long Island . . . He came to know if we were angry with all Indians. I answered No, but only with such as had killed Englishmen. He asked whether they that lived upon Long Island might come to trade with us. Gardiner said he would only trade with the Long Island Indians ``if you will kill all the Pequots that come to you, and send me their heads . . . so he went away and did as I had said, and sent me five heads . . .''
    ----And thus began the friendship of the English settler named Lion Gardiner and an Indian chief named Wyandanch. Two years later, his tour of duty in Connecticut over, Gardiner capitalized on his friendship with Wyandanch's people, whom the English called the Montaukett Indians, and bought some real estate on Long Island. **

    Lion Gardiner, was one of the key founders of the East End of Long Island, which was known for the independent little towns created in the 1640s which were pure democracies. Lion Gardiner came here in 1639. He was the first English person to settle in the present New York State. He befriended Chief Wyandanch, the sachem of the Montauk, and that friendship resulted in the lack of interracial warfare on Eastern Long Island. On the other hand, Gardiner was a real-estate wheeler-dealer. He perfected or maybe originated the idea of taking land from the Indians in return for a few yards of cloth or a few trinkets because the Indians thought land belonged to everybody. He was a really important person in the creation of the Town of East Hampton. Even though he was lord of the manor on Gardiner's Island, when he lived in East Hampton he played the game just like everyone else, as a leading citizen but not one with manorial privileges. It's a very impressive little granite tomb but it is really silly because it shows Gardiner in armor, and Gardiner would never have worn armor. He was not an aristocrat. He was a plain man with a lot of real estate.'' The Gardiner tomb is located in the South End Burying Ground on the east side of the village green at James Lane and Main Street ** **

    : Robert David Lion Gardiner : * Robert Gardiner---By Robert F. Worth---August 30, 2004---Lord of his own island; 93---- Robert David Lion Gardiner, the last heir to bear the name of the family that has owned Gardiner's Island, off the coast of Long Island, for nearly four centuries, died Aug. 23 at his home in East Hampton, N.Y. He was 93. Mr. Gardiner's death was announced by Jeanne Toomey, a friend and former press representative. Mr. Gardiner called himself "the 16th Lord of the Manor" and saw himself as a custodian of his family's history on what is said to be the largest privately owned island in the world. Although Mr. Gardiner's wealth and social position was overshadowed by that of the tycoons and Hollywood celebrities who colonized Long Island over the past century, he delighted in reminding them of who had arrived first. "The Fords, the du Ponts, the Rockefellers, they are nouveaux riches," Mr. Gardiner told an interviewer in the mid-1990s. Mr. Gardiner lived in East Hampton, in an opulent family house with its own long history, but his heart was rooted in Gardiner's Island, in the bay off Long Island's south fork. The island's 3,350 acres includes 27 miles of coastline, forests and streams, and buildings dating from the 17th century. It has been in the family since his ancestor, the English settler Lion Gardiner, bought it from the Montaukett Indians in 1639 for "one large dog, one gun, some powder and shot, some rum and several blankets, worth in all about Five Pounds sterling." He also obtained a charter from King Charles I of England. Captain Kidd once buried treasure there, and the family withstood several attacks by pirates. Someone accused of being a witch once lived on the island, as did Julia Gardiner, who became the wife of President John Tyler and was known in her youth as "the rose of Long Island." Although the island is strictly off limits to the public, Mr. Gardiner took occasional groups of visitors there in his boat, the Laughing Lady, often surprising them by talking about Colonial-era events as though they had happened the day before. For the past three decades, Mr. Gardiner feuded with his niece, Alexandra Gardiner Creel Goelet, who owned the island jointly with him. He often accused Goelet and her husband, Robert G. Goelet, of plotting to sell or develop the island after his death, a charge they vehemently denied. Mr. Gardiner, who married in 1961 but had no children, tried unsuccessfully during the 1980s to adopt a distant relative as his heir, to whom he could bequeath his share of the island. Mr. Gardiner was born Feb. 25, 1911, in New York, and attended St. George's School in Newport, R.I. He graduated from Columbia University in 1934 and attended New York University Law School. In World War II, he served as a Navy lieutenant and saw action in the South Pacific. After the war, he worked on Wall Street at the Empire Trust Co. His father died when he was young, and he lived in Manhattan with his mother until he was in his late 40s. In 1961, he married Eunice Bailey Oakes, a British former model many years his junior, at St. Thomas Church on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Eighteen ushers in top hats and tails took part in the ceremony. His wife survives him. Mr. Gardiner once estimated his personal wealth at $135 million; his assets included a 42-acre shopping center. He served for many years on the Suffolk County Planning Board, and ran unsuccessfully as a Democratic candidate for the state Senate in 1960. Mr. Gardiner and his sister Alexandra Gardiner Creel inherited the island from their aunt, Sarah Diodati Gardiner, on her death in 1953. It had nearly passed out of family hands two decades earlier, after a spendthrift cousin was unable to maintain it. Sarah Gardiner bought it in 1937 for $400,000, just before it was to be put up for sale at public auction. Mr. Gardiner's aunt left a trust fund to pay for the island's upkeep, but by the late 1970s it had run out of money. Mr. Gardiner already had quarreled with his sister and her daughter over the island, and when his niece's husband, Robert Goelet, began paying the rising costs, Mr. Gardiner refused to pay half. He said at the time that he was trying to force the island into receivership by New York state, which he hoped would take care of it as a historic site. His relatives went to court, and in 1980, Judge Marie Lambert of state Surrogate Court barred Mr. Gardiner from visiting the island. Mr. Gardiner appealed the decision, and in 1992, a state appeals court ruled that as an heir he could not be denied the use of the island. He began visiting it regularly again, always avoiding the Goelets, with whom he continued to feud, and still refusing to help pay the estimated $1.8 million yearly costs for the island's upkeep. His sister died in 1990. Mr. Gardiner's feud with his niece was far from the family's only quarrel over the island, which Alexandra Goelet's father had called "the sandbar of sorrow." Over the years, there had been several legal confrontations over its ownership, said Joseph Attinito, Mr. Gardiner's lawyer. Now Alexandra Goelet is expected to become the owner of the island. She has two children. Although Mr. Gardiner had hoped to be buried on the island in a tomb like his grandfather's, a replica of that of the Roman emperor Sextus Africanus, Attinito said he would be buried near his parents in an East Hampton cemetery. **

The only exceptions were the land belonging to Eliza Gardner Jones and Duck Island which was sold by the Sarah Gardiner trust to the Rowland family in 1868. DeLamater purchased Walnut Neck from William Beebe which resulted in the creation of Beacon Farm. The farm provided fresh milk, eggs, and poultry for the family. DeLamater also purchased the Cassidy land, Cherry Lawn from William Gardiner, and Oakleaf from George Gardiner. Thus once again Eaton’s Neck was predominately owned by one family

                  --- Mrs. Thompson’s mother was a Griswold of the distinguished Connecticut family of that name, so many of whom have been governors of the State and distinguished public men. Her uncles John and Charles C. Griswold were prominent shipping merchants in New York, and rivals in importance of their cousins N. L. and George Griswold. John left no children, and Charles C. had but two: Elizabeth, who married Judge Lane, a very wealthy and distinguished citizen of Sandusky; and Sarah, who married Lorillard Spencer. (Her eldest daughter married Prince Virginio Cenci, Duke of Vicoraro.) Mrs. Thompson’s middle name of Diodati was received from her great-grand-mother on he[r] mother’s side.
                  Mrs. Thompson’s maiden name was Gardiner, she being of the family of that name of Gardiner’s Island. David Thompson was a gentleman well known to all old New Yorkers of the better class standing high as he did in the fashionable world. He received a thorough classical education when young, and at the age of eighteen entered his father’s office; two years afterwards was made cashier of the Custom House. He remained there eight years, and then successfully became the Cashier of the Fulton Bank under John Adams, Cashier and Vice-President of the Bank of America (which was the successor of the old Bank of the United States) under the late George Newbold, and President of the New York Life Insurance and Trust Company. This latter institution he took charge of after they had sustained large losses from the dishonesty of a former officer, and by judicious and careful management made the company the foremost of its kind in the city, the shares having increased in value from eighty percent to six hundred. He remained connected with the company until his death, which occurred February 22, 1871, a period of nearly twenty-five years. Mr. Thompson was a gentleman of fine appearance, high-minded, honorable, and a sincere Christian. His funeral took place from his residence, 25 Lafayette Place, on Saturday, February 25th. The clergymen were the Rev. Mancius S. Hutton, D.D.; Rev. Thomas De Witt, D.D.; and the Rev. Samuel R. Ely, D.D. The following-named gentlemen, all of whom were known in financial and social circles, acted as pall-bearers: John David Wolfe, John Q. Jones, Thomas W. Ludlow, Moses Taylor, William B. Astor, Robert Ray, William H. Aspinwall, and Joseph Sampson. The remains were removed to the hearse and deposited in the family vault." *--*

                  --- Horace Davis graduated at Harvard in the class of 1849. He began the study of the law, but his eyes failed, and in 1852 he came to California to seek his fortune. He first tried the mines, starting a store at Shaw's Flat. When the venture failed he came to San Francisco and sought any employment to be found. He began by piling lumber, but when his cousin, Isaac Davis, found him at it he put him aboard one of his coasting schooners as supercargo. Being faithful and capable, he was sought by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and was for several years a good purser. He and his brother George had loaned their savings to a miller, and were forced to take over the property. Mr. Davis become the accepted authority on wheat and the production of flour, and enjoyed more than forty years of leadership in the business which he accidentally entered.
                  --- 1877 elected to Congress, serving for two terms. He proved too independent and unmanageable for the political leaders of the time and was allowed to return to private life.

                  --- His interest in education was always great, and he entered with ardor and intelligence into the discharge of his duties as a trustee of the School of Mechanical Arts established by the will of James Lick. As president of the board, he guided its course, and was responsible for the large plan for co-operation and co-ordination by which, with the Wilmerding School and the Lux School (of which he was also a leading trustee), a really great endowed industrial school under one administrative management has been built up in San Francisco.

The Gardner family of Nantucket descended from Richard and John Gardner, sons of Thomas Gardner, planter, who came from England to Salem, Massachusetts in 1626. Richard’s wife, Sarah Shattuck, was the daughter of Thomas Gardner’s second wife, Demaris (Shibley) Shattuck, by her first husband. She was a devoted member of the Society of Friends for which she suffered during her residence in Salem before she and her husband moved to Nantucket in 1666/1667. John and his wife, Priscilla Grafton, soon followed. The two brothers were originally in the fishing business but also began accumulating property. Their descendents became captains of whaling ships, land owners and merchants. **

The earliest inhabitants of Nantucket were Native Americans. In 1659, a group of nine Massachusetts Englishmen purchased the island for 30 pounds and two beaver hats. Their purpose was to raise sheep as well as to find refuge from the religiously intolerant Puritans. Among the early settlers were Thomas Macy and Tristram Coffin whose names reappear throughout the history of the island. More Nantucket history here

Richard, son of Thomas married her daughter by her first husband, her name being Sarah. She was a Quaker and had considerable trouble with the authorities on account of her belief. **

The inventory also included "2 old barrels of guns" valued at 5s 4d:11m:1674. Following Thomas Gardner's probate, at the November 1677 term of the Essex court his sons George ("now of Hartford Connectict") and Samuel sued John Pudney of Salem, husbandsman, over a farm let to Pudney by lease dated March 1, 1672/73 and described as Gardner's now dwelling house in Salem, with all his land in Northfield, about 20 acres, also his 10 acres of meadow ... for seven years from Apr. 15, 1672 at £11 per year, and two barrels of cider, said Gardner furnishing the cask, of which £4 wer to be paid in wood at 8s. per cord, 40s. in butter and cheese, with one firkin of butter, 40s. in pork, and the remainder in corn. Said Pudney was not to remove any muck, and Gardner reserved the right to that the meadow near Needham's if he so desired. Lt. George Gardner, late of Salem & now of Hartford, merchant, and Samuel Gardner, mariner, joint executors of the last will of Mr. Thomas Gardner deceased, sold to John Swinnerton of Salem, physician, "all that part of the estate the said Gardner possessed of and which the said executors have power to sell" including a dwelling house and ten acres in the North Field, another ten acres in the North Field, about and acre of upland by the Strongwater Brook, a farm containing 100 acres of upland and meadow, and twenty acres of upland and meadow.

Nantucket Trivia Yesterday & Today by Pimney Trimtab
Did you know that there used to be a dwelling on Front and Broadway in Siasconset called the Headache House? According to Early Nantucket and Its Whale Houses, by Henry Chandlee, just to the north of the George Gardner house and on the same lot “once stood a long, narrow dwelling with gable-ends facing Broadway and Front Street. This was called Headache House because of its incurably smoking chimney.”

Did you know that perhaps one of the first instances of the intense rivalry between the original 20 proprietors and the 14 half-share men (brought in later because somebody had to tend the sheep, make the shoes, and weave the wool) possibly started when John and Richard Gardner, half-share men, somehow got that first town named Sherburne, which was the name of their family’s village in Dorset? This doubtless set the Coffins et al. to much gnashing of teeth. The Coffins and the Gardners were sworn enemies for years, and it is said that the feud ended only when Jethro Coffin (son of Thomas Coffin) and Mary Gardner (daughter of John Gardner) married and were given the Oldest House by their parents in 1686.

Related to that, did you know that the son of half-share man Richard Gardner, also named Richard, and his wife Mary had 10 children? One, Lydia, was born in 1687 and died less than a year later…so, according to custom, the next baby girl the Gardners had was also named Lydia. Born in 1689 and living for 79 years, Lydia md John Coffin, son of Jethro Coffin and Mary Gardner (the Oldest House couple). (Richard fils was the one who built that lovely historic property at 34 West Chester, in 1722.)

And did you know that when Richard Gardner (père) of Salem, Massachusetts, was granted his half-share on Nantucket “in order to exercise his trade as seaman,’ his young son Joseph was also given a half share, provided he “supply the occasions of the Island in way of a shoemaker and not leave the island for 4 years”? So you see, there was a noticeable schism between those who were the wealthy landowners and those who exercised the trades that would keep commerce and live on this little island going. Does this sound at all familiar to 21st-century island readers?

          --- William was fitted for Harvard College by Rev. Amos Adams of Roxbury, and graduated in 1664. He taught school in Groton, Brookline, and Brighton the three following years, and then "went to Killingsworth in Connecticut and studied physic with the famous Dr. Benj. Gale, where he lived one year." He wished to go to Philadelphia to complete his medical studies, and, being reluctant to ask his father for permission to do so, he found an efficient advocate in his relative, John Aspinwall of Flushing, whom he happened to meet at New Haven, and who wrote thus to Thomas Aspinwall: "I had the pleasure of seeing one of your sons, at New Haven, in August last, which gave me great satisfaction. He informed me of the welfare of your family, and acquainted me that he was studying physic with Dr. Gale of Killingworth; and signified his inclination to go to Philadelphia, to attend the lectures, which he thinks will be of great advantage to him, as he expects to get his living by the practice of physic and surgery. He begged that I would inform you, that he had a great desire to proceed to Philadelphia, and that you would enable him to do so, by being so good as to advance the sum of sixty or seventy pounds, New York currency. Be pleased to pardon me, if dictating to you, in this affair; but in my opinion it would be a pity he should be prevented. Was he a son of mine, it would give me pleasure to send him there." The application was effectual. He attended the lectures in Philadelphia during the winter of 1768-9. Dr. Aspinwall was with the Brookline company of militia, as a volunteer, April 19, 1775, when it encountered the British at Cambridge. Later he was "appointed1 surgeon in Gen. Heath's brigade; and, not long after, deputy director of the hospital on Jamaica Plain. His appointment, as surgeon of the hospital at Roxbury, by 'the Congress of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay,' bears date, 'Watertown, 28 June, 1775.' On the 19th of August, 1775, he was 'Surgeon to St. Thomas's Hospital.'" In August, 1778, "he was with the army, at Rhode Island, under General Sullivan." "Few men, in any profession, have sacrificed so small a portion of their lives to pleasure, or to inaction. His was a life of incessant toil. The affairs of his native town absorbed no trifling portion of his time. He was, for many years, the Representative for Brookline. He was thrice a Senator for the county of Norfolk; he was a member of the Council, and a Justice of the Peace." Dr. Aspinwall petitioned the town of Brookline "for Leave to improve his Dwelling House as an Hospital for incculating with Small Pox;" and April 27, 1778, "It was voted in the Negative." However, May 12, 1788, the town "Voted that Doct'r Aspinwall may erect a Hospital on his own Farm, for the purpose of inoculating with the Small Pox, and that the Town approve of the Sd. Aspinwall to take charge of Sd. Hospital Observing the Directions of the Law Relating thereto." The town voted annually, until 1793, to give Dr. Aspinwall "Liberty to continue Inoculating with the Small Pox as Usual."
          Dr. Aspinwall married, June 26, 1776, Susanna, daughter of Capt. Isaac and Mary (Sparhawk) Gardner of Brookline. She was born February 28, 1754, and died June 2, 1814. He died April 16, 1823. Children: Juliana, William Augustus, William, Thomas, Augustus, Samuel, and Susanna. *--*

          --- For many centuries prior to its colonization by white settlers, Native American Indians lived in the area we now know as Salem Woods.
          In colonial times the area was held as "common lands" for the pasturage of livestock. A stone wall built prior to 1800 enclosed the pasture and kept the animals from straying. Much of this old wall remains. The woods were then known as the Great Pastures. "Rights" to the land were held by several very prominent Salem families. Jonathan Gardner, one of the leading merchants who gave Salem its fame in the 18th century, owned rights in the Great Pastures, as did Habakkuk Gardner, a master mariner, and Samuel Gardner, another leading Salem merchant. Another member of the Gardner family was John Gardner, the sole son of Capt. John and Elizabeth (Putnam) Gardner. He md Elizabeth Pickering, daughter of Col. Timothy and Mary Wingate Pickering. In 1812, being then widowed, Elizabeth Gardner purchased "six-eighths of the certain lands in the Great Pastures," sold the property, then bought it back for one dollar! *ref: Salem Woods

In 1919, Isabella Stewart Gardner suffered a series of strokes and died July 17, 1924. She is buried in Mount Auburn Cemetery, in Cambridge MA, between her husband and her son. She was the d/o David Stewart [Scottish descent, who made his fortune in the Irish linen trade and later in mining investments.] & Adelia Smith, [descendant of Richard Smith, an Englishman who had settled in Boston in 1650.] She was named for her beloved paternal grandmother, Isabella Tod Stewart, herself a remarkable woman and successful farmer. (A portrait of her hangs in the Museum.) Mrs. Gardner was also a descendant of royal Stuarts
                Their only son having died before his second birthday, they raised three orphaned nephews following the death of Jack's widowed brother.
                In 1891, she inherited her father's fortune of $1.6 million accumulated from the sale of the family's large farm near Jamaica, New York, on Long Island (he was also in iron and steel). It was with this windfall she began collecting art, and not just ANY art, but one of the better self-portraits of REMBRANDT (one of sixty he painted during his lifetime). With the untimely death of her husband in 1898, Isabella Gardner quieted her grief by throwing herself into the construction of a museum to house her collection as well as herself. (She lived on the fourth floor.) Today it is a Boston landmark. The Museum : Isabella Stewart Gardner. She called it Fenway Court.
                In addition to Rembrandt, Isabella Gardner acquired Botticelli, Raphael, Titian, and Degas, as well as portraits of herself by such contemporary art luminaries as Whistler and John Singer Sargent. While some characterized her as eccentric, perhaps independent and unconventional would be more accurate. She was a wise, witty, and determined collector, a very strong, legendary third, tripod leg in the art scheme of things.**

                  --- ** Ellen Wayles Randolph, the third child of Martha Jefferson and Thomas Mann Randolph, was born on 13 October 1796. An accomplished scholar, particularly in languages, and a favorite of her grandfather, Ellen often accompanied Jefferson on trips to his home in Bedford, Poplar Forest. She was considered the belle of the family and remained the eldest unmarried daughter for many years. Ellen traveled to Richmond, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia, where she was popular with her grandfather’s old friends, as well as young gentlemen. On 27 May 1825, Ellen married a wealthy Boston merchant, Joseph Coolidge, Jr., in the parlor at Monticello. After their marriage, Ellen and Joseph maintained close ties with the Monticello family from their home in Boston, Massachusetts. Ellen gave birth to six children in four years, including twin boys. When her husband’s business interests took him to China for long periods, Ellen met him in London in 1838 for an extended visit and described her activities and impressions of the country in a journal still extant. After Joseph left China in 1844, the Coolidge family spent some years in Europe before returning to Boston. Ellen died in Boston on 30 April 1876.

  "Richard was a man of very good abilities, he was called long-headed by his brother John, from his sense of the profoundness of his Judgment. He held a prominent place among the people of the island, was at one time Chief Magistrate. His residence was about half way between the house of our present worthy Sheriff, (1862) and the Eliphalet Paddack house. It has been taken down many years, and the locality is very much altered in its appearance.
  "The Gardners owned formerly much of the land adjacent to and surrounding the Lily pond, extending beyond Gardner's Burial Ground, and around the swamp on the North Shore Hill, also extending through Egypt (so called) to the present Town Hall, embracing some of the best meadows and grass lots on the island. A part of this territory was called Crooked Records, from the lines of the survey not coming together.....Richard Gardner Sen'r, and his brother Capt. John, exercised much influence in the community here while they lived, and they died respected."**

        ---- William signed his will 25 March 1786 in Morris Town, New Jersey, and it was proved 18 June 1787 by sworn testimony of Daniel Brown and John Rose, witnesses (Morris County, Nj, Will Book 1787 Lib No 29
        --No wife is mentioned. Daughter Mary Wood to receive twelve pounds. Daughter Affe Norris to receive five pounds. Son Christopher to receive ten pounds over and above equal share with other two sons. Sons Christopher, Jeniah and William equally share remainder. Joint executors were Christopher Gardner and Daniel Wood. Witnesses were Daniel Brown, Abraham Ludlum and John Rose.
        William was a freeholder; that is one who owned real estate. From "Some Early Records of Morris County, New Jersey, 1740-1799" by Harriet Stryker-Rodda, Editor, he was on the Poll List, May 1776, for delegates from Morris County to the first New Jersey Constitutional Convention. Other Gardner men from Morris Town and/or Morris Township were ...miah, Christopher and Henry. There was also a Joseph Gardner from Hanover Township, Morris County. Even earlier, in October 1768, William is on a list of the Rateables (a taxpayer) with 50 acres valued at 12 pounds, 10 shillings in Morris Township. By comparison, on the same date Henry Gardiner in the same township had 124 acres valued at 15 pounds. Henry was possibly a brother with a large family. Christening records of his many children are in the register at the First Presbyterian Church, Morristown.
        Earlier still, in the year 1752, the number of freeholders in Morris County is estimated at 450. Interesting names on a list for Morris Town are William Gardner, Jr., Samuel Sutton, Joseph Wood and Jonathon Wood. On 17 Jan 1793 a list of principal freeholders does not list William, but it does include Christopher in Pequanack, David in Hanover and Henry in Morris Townships.
        The Gardners were Methodists and some of them were ministers. They lived near the Wallingford Area of Fleming Co, Ky, near an area called "Sutton. The Gardners were originally from Lancaster, England and came to New Jersey first, then to Pennsylvania and on to Kentucky.

        • 5. Jeniah/Joniah GARDINER Sr. b abt 1752 New Jersey. d abt 1817 in Fleming Co, Ky. md Asa PARSELL.
          -- 1987 research in New Jersey by Wallace Gardner and Lora Ashby, During the Revolutionary War, Joniah was a "gun runner." They supply war records showing payment in Continental and Specie (with interest) for carting to 29 Feb last, and several other dates. He is listed as a private, Captain Carter's Company, Eastern Regiment, Morris County Militia and was on the rolls 7 May 1778 with the names of Janiah, Jeniah and Geniah Gardner. In a list of marriage licenses given in The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, October, 1943 (Vol 18, No 4) there is a Jeniah (or Jeriah) Gardner and Ace Parcel dated September 1, 1774; however, Wallace and Lora are not sure if this is Joniah, Sr.
          --- Janiah Gardner is included in the August, 1786 Tax List of Ratables for Saddle River Township, Bergen County, New Jersey. He is shown with 34 acres of improved land valued at 5 pounds with a total tax of 5 shillings.
          --- The next record of Joniah is the 1790 first Census, where we find him in Mt. Pleasant Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Listed are: 1 male over 16; 5 males under 16 and 3 females. Wallace Gardner believes that Joniah is the male over 16; males under 16 are Aaron, Nicholas, Robert, Anthony and Charles; and femailes are Joniah's wife, Phoebe and Mary. He further believes that Joniah's wife died on the journey to Fleming County, Kentucky as there is no mention of her in fleming County that he and Lora Ashby have found. From Wallace Gardner/Lora Ashby data, Joniah lived on Locust Creek, fleming Co., Ky when the 1798 Tax List was prepared. He may have died between 1815 and 1817, as he last appears on the tax list for Fleming County in 1815. Joniah's livestock mark was a slit in the left ear and a hole in the right one (Book B, page 154, July 12, 1802, fleming county, Ky). Birth date is estimated from First Census-Heads of Families-Pa, page 264.
          ---From the Fleming County, Kentucky Deed Book A (1797-1801) as extracted by Clayton R. Cox and published in "The East Kentuckian", Vol. XXVII, No. IV (March 1922), page 10: "Page 36 - 10 Sept 1798 - Lewis Craig of Mason County to Joniah Gardiner of Fleming. 32 Pounds, 10 Shillings. 100 Acres.

Marriage is also listed on the Family Tree Maker KY Marriage Index CD # 229 Anthony Gardner and Agnes Hush(Hurst) 24 Dec 1807 Fleming Co Ky.
            --See also LDS IGI pages 4697 + 5781, Kentucky. Wallace Gardner/Lora Ashby show 24 Dec 1807 to Agnes Husk. Anthony was living in 1834. Anthony and Agnes were early (1820-1832) landowners in Rush County, IN

            --Judy Groover Johnson of Lafayette, Indiana, reports finding Anthony age 40-50 in the 1830 Rush County, Indiana Census living with his large family.
            --James + Phoebe (Gardner) Hurst named a son born 13 Apr 1810, Anthony Hurst, probably after this Anthony Gardner who was Phoebe's brother and who md James' sister Agnes Hurst.
            --Anthony sold 40 acres in Rush County, IN (NE 1/4 SE, 1-13-8 [13 =Walker Township], and 39 acres in Rush County (NW 1/4 NW, 6-13-9) to Reuben Heflin for $600. The deed date was 10 Dec 1838; the transfer date was 25 Jan 1841 (Book L, page 267). This land sale information is from a Judy Groover Johnson letter of 22 Feb 1994.
            --In a later letter dated 27 Aug 1995 Judy states that she has found Civil War records of an Anthony Gardner who was mustered in 13 Dec 1861 and died 7 Dec 1863. She believes this could be Anthony age 6 living in the Wm. B. Heflin household of the 1850 Rush County, Indiana census report, page 452. He would not be Anthony, son of Joniah Gardiner, Sr. but perhaps a grandson or even Anthony, Jr. **

                --- OBIT: Alfred Gardner was born October 25, 1846 in Flemingsburg, Fleming Co, Ky, and died December 19, 1941; age 95 years, 1 month and 24 days. He was one of eleven children, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Gardner and the last survivor of his family. During early teenage he moved with his parents to Wabash, Indiana, living there three years. In the fall of 1868, they came to Kansas by covered wagon, settling near Michigan Valley (I believe this to be in error; I think Sarcoxie Township of Jefferson County). On October 2, 1870 he was united in marriage to Miss Margaret Jane Rouse and their wedded life together rounded out 65-1/2 years of happiness, a beautiful heritage for this fine old couple who had been blessed with 8 children, 4 boys and 4 girls, all of whom are living. They are Mrs. John Foley, Quenemo, Ks; Mrs. Lulu Tyner, Topeka, Ks; Mrs. Maud Thomasson, Leavenworth, Ks; Mrs. Alm York, Jerome, Id; Mr. Alva Gardner, Wirt, Ok; Mr. Artley Gardner, Leoti, Ks; Mr. Wilson Gardner, Ben Davis, Mo and Mr. Harry Gardner, Roodhouse, Il. There are also 47 grandchildren and 61 great grandchildren. Mr. Gardner's occupation was farming and in his young days he was a home guard during the Civil War. At an early age he united with the Baptist Church. Grandpa Gardner, as he was familarly known, was a beautiful example of a life well lived; fine and understanding. The lovely companionship lived by he and the good wife who was blind for years, was most touching. Mrs. Gardner passed away March 7, 1935, and he was often heard to say he was ready to join her--just waiting. His was a peaceful death, a quiet passing into the border land to join loved ones. The beautiful heritage and teachings of this fine old patriarch will descend down to his children and his children's children.
                --Funeral Service: The funeral of A. S. Gardner, 95, retired farmer and pioneer resident of Quenemo who died Friday at the home of a daughter, Mrs. John Foley of Quenemo, was held Monday from the Quenemo Baptist church. Rev. Alfred Clark of the Centropolis Baptist church officiated. William Bowman and Roy Driver, accompanied by Mrs. Lloyd Scott, sang "Good Morning Up There", "The Land Where We'll Never Grow Old" and "Jesus Lover Of My Soul". The pallbearers were John Foley, Vernon Barnhart, Glenn Bulmer, Junior Bulmer, Dean Trindle and Morris Tyner. Those present from wout of town were: Mr. and Mrs. Lee Thomasson, Valentine Hill and Mrs. Henry Hill and family, all of Leavenworth; Mrs. Ella Sanders and family, Hatfield, Mo; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hotchkiss, Council Grove; Judson Rouse, Perry; Mr. and Mrs. Vern Barnhart, Overbrook; Mr. and Mrs. Tyner, Topeka; Mr. and Mrs. Bert Bulmer, Michigan Valley.

        --- photo : Entwined rose family record - Ebenezer Gardner and Ruth Beard, mid-late 19th century. Illustrated genealogical chart with hearts and vine design. Hearts are fielded on a mound of earth; a ribbon connecting the stems of the two roses includes the date of the marriage. Interspersed between the loops of the two rose stems are the names of the children inscribed on unattached pods or plaques. The stem of Ebenezer's rose ends with a broken blossom labeled with the date of his death. A nineteenth century copy of an earlier chart found under this one in a frame. ** **

        --- Ebemezer was a potter by trade amd resided in Roxbury. He sold his share of his fathers property in 1763 and received a land grant in Auk-paque, Cumberland Co, Nova Scotia , from which the Acadians had been expelled. On the breaking out of the Revolutionary war he remained loyal to the colonies and was a member of the committee of safety , who went to Boston to urge an energetic campaign to protect the faithful in the Provinces.

  ** Based on Joseph being at least 16 when in the February Term Court of 1645/6 indicates that his father was 'discharged from training when his sixth son comes in'.
  **He was a man of energy and ability and held many positions of honor and importance in Salem. In May, 1672, he was appointed by the General Court of Massachusetts, lieutenant of the foot company under Capt. William Price of Salem (Mass. Colony Records, V, 517).
  **On May 12, 1675, the militia of Salem was divided into two companies by order of the Court, and by the same order the election of Joseph Gardiner as Captain of the First Company in Salem was confirmed. When the expedition against the Naragansetts was organized, Capt. Gardiner was appointed, November 3, 1675, to command a company raised at Salem and the adjoining towns, and mustered his men, ninety-five strong, at Dedham Plain, December 10th , and marched with his army towrds the rendezvous at Wickford. During the march several skirmishes took place, and Mr. Hubbard relates that some of Stone-wall-John's crew "met with some of Capt. Gardiner's men that were stragling about their own business contrary to order, and slew his Sergeant with one or two more." In "Capt. Oliver's Narrative" it is related that on this occasion the Indians "killed two Salem men within a mile of our quarters and wounded a third so that he his dead." The fall of Capt. Gardiner is thus related in Church's "Entertaing History":
  **"Mr. Church spying Capt. Gardiner of Salem amidst the Wigwams at the east end of the Fort, made towards him; but on a sudden while they were looking each other in the face, Capt. Gardiner settled down, Mr. Church stepped to him, seeing the blood run down his cheek lifted his cap and calling him by name, he looked up in his face but spake not a word, being mortally Shot through the head."
  **His widow, then aged about thirty-four, md June 6, 1676, Gov. Simon Bradstreet, whose age was about seventy-three. She died April 19, 1713, aged 79. Leaving no children, Capt Gardiner's Naragansett claim fell to the oldest male heir of his eldest brother Thomas. This heir was Habkkuk Gardiner, son of the Captain's nephew Thomas, who in the list of claimants claims in the "right of his uncle, Capt. Joseph Gardiner." **

    ----- Freeborn Balch was a farmer, and lived on a portion of his father's estate in North Beverly, on the East shore of Wenham Lake. His thrifty husbandry reared the finest apple orchard in the county, which he willed, together with his cider mill and cider house, to this son William. He married first, late in autumn of 1862, the widow Mirriam Bachelder. There is no record of her marriage with Freeborn, but as she signs her name as a witness to a deed dated November 13, 1862, "Mirriam Bachelder" their marriage must have been subsequent to that time. There is no record of Mirriam's death which probably occurred in 1688. Freeborn is buried on a hill in the cemetery near Wenham Lake. Sarah Fairfield, mother-in-law, and children Skipper and Sarah, are buried near him. Their son William inherited Freeborn's property in North Beverly on the East shore of Wenham Lake. The farm comprised of an apple orchard, cider mill, and cider house.

      ---William Raymond married Hannah Bishop, the daughter of Edward Bishop and Hannah Bishop. The latter couple was not real popular; they lived on the far outskirts of Salem Village near the Raymonds and the Balch's and when younger were both punished by the town authorities for petty theft. Hannah Bishop died, and Edward married Bridgette Oliver. As Bridgette Bishop, she was executed in the Salem witch trials. She was a colorful, outspoken woman who repeatedly got into trouble for standing up to her previous husband when he beat her.
      ---Edward's son, Edward Bishop Jr, and his wife, Sarah Gould, ran a tavern that competed with the "approved" tavern next to the church that the Parris clique ran, stayed open late, and allowed young people to play board games, and Sarah even wore a colorful dress, or something! Sarah had the misfortune to be a member of one of the families that had been on the other side of a dispute over boundary of Salem Village that was based on how much taxes the people of the village were going to pay to where. Many members of that family were victims in the Salem witch trials. Sarah and Edward were both charged, arrested and convicted. After Bridgette was executed, they escaped and went no one ever knew where, possibly with the help of Benjamin Balch , who made it known that he kept a lantern ready and a horse saddled to help people escape form the hysteria.
      --- Elizabeth Balch the wife of Benjamin Jr , testified against both her step grandmother Bridgette Bishop and Sarah Bishop. She was one of only two or three people who did testify against Sarah Bishop, and therefore has a large share of responsibility for the fact that she was convicted. She testified that she and her sister were riding back from a wedding in Salem town and came upon Edward and Sarah riding together, both on one horse. Edward deliberately suddenly had his horse step into a deep hole and nearly threw Bridgette from the horse, and she started cursing at him. Edward turned to Elizabeth and her sister and began raving that Sarah was a witch. She entertained the devil in her kitchen in the middle of the night, etc. Elizabeth, at the time, told Edward that he shouldn't talk like that, but she testified in court that she had become concerned upon thinking about it. Sarah had stood in silence and made no effort to argue with her husband while he raved, and Elizabeth thought it her duty to inform the court that she was concerned that his charge might be true! In other words, Elizabeth Balch got her in-law and neighbor sentenced to death for witchcraft because she didn't want to admit to herself that the woman was being abused by her unstable husband. **

--- arrived at Cape Ann in early 1624. The three sons listed as passengers on the Zouch Phenix.
He was in Salem, was first at Cape Ann, employ. by the project. of sett. to oversee fishery, 1624 or 5, and rem. with Conant, freem. 17 May 1637, rep. same yr. It is said, that he was from Scotland; but to me it seems much more likely, that he was from Sherborne in N. part of Co. Dorest. Baptised 25 Dec 1636 -(GDONE, v 2 p 230; Savage)

Thomas Gardner the common ancestor of the Salem-Nantucket family, came to America in 1624. A deposition on file in the Essex Count Court Papers, v. vii, p.3, shows that he was born about 1592. Farmer states that he came from Scotland. The belief held by many that his ancestral home was in Dorsetshire or one of the ajoining counties of England, is much more reasonable, as he sailed from Weymouth, received an appointment from the Dorchester Company to an office of honor and responsibility, and came hither with men who were largely from Dorsetshire or the neighboring county of Somerset. Thomas md twice. We know this from the fact that in his will he mentions his wife as the mother-in-law (Old name for step-mother) of his sons. The Margaret Gardner, who united with the First Church in 1639, is supposed to have been his wife. Various writers, including Rev. Joseph B. __??__, have stated that her maiden name was Frier, but the writer has failed to find the Authority for this statement. His second wife was Damaris Shattuck, a widow, who was admitted to the church in Salem in 1641. She had several children by her first husband, one of whom, Sarah, md Richard Gardner son of Thomas. She like most of her Shattuck relations, evidently favored the Friends, as she was called into court many times for being "present at a Quacker meeting," and for absence from her own church. In the 9th mo. 1667, and the 4th mo. in 1668, "Old Mrs Gardner was fined 5 shillings for absence from public worship." She had no children by Thomas Gardner. The date of her death is given in the Salem Town Records, as 28, 9, 1674. Thomas Gardner d. the 29th 10th mo. 1674 (Town Records) and was buried in the Gardner burying ground, a hillock described as lot III, in the section of this article relating to land grants -(Thomas Gardner, Planter, and some of his descendants; 1907)

Marriages :
Various sources give the name of Thomas Gardner's first wife as 'Margaret Frier' . No known record of his marriage in England to a woman by this name are known to exist. In 1639, Margaret Gardner was united with the church in Salem. As this was three years after the original settlers in Salem joined with the church, Anderson in The Great Migration Begins indicates that Gardner may have had a wife before Margaret, who possibly died at or after the birth of their last child, Seeth, who was born in 1636. In my opinion, an alternate explanation for her late entry into the church may be disability on Margaret's part after the hardships of the early life in America and the birth of nine children. In The Pioneers of Massachusetts Rev. Charles Henry Pope indicates that this Margaret might also have been the wife of Edmund Gardner, but as he was 'of Ipswich' it is unlikely that his wife would join with the church in Salem. The date of her death is unknown.

Thomas married second the widow Damaris Shattuck. Her maiden name is unknown. She joined the church at Salem in 1641 as 'Shattuck' so the marriage occurred after this date. She had children by her first marriage, two of whom married children of Thomas Gardner. No children were born to her marriage to Thomas Gardner. Damaris died September 28, 1674 per Salem records.

Damaris Garder, 'the wife of Thomas Gardner, Sr.', was called into court several times and later fined for absences from church and her presence at Quaker meetings. Court records do not show that Thomas himself was ever charged with an absence from church.

Origin and Emigration to America
Claims have been made for an origin in Martock parish, Somersetshire, England or in Dorset, but no evidence is known to exist of his exact birthplace. In Genesis of the White Family Emma Siggins White shows a marriage between Elizabeth White and Thomas Gardner of Borton. This Elizabeth is listed as a sister of Rev. John White, known as the Patriarch of Dorchester. When Rev. John Lyford proposed moving members of the Massachusetts Colony to Virginia, Rev. White wrote to Roger Conant and asked him to remain in Massachusetts with John Balch, Peter Palfrey and John Woodbury. I have not located any other proof of this marriage or of this Thomas Gardner being the father of the Thomas who settled in Salem.

The following quotation from W. C. Folger's article in the Nantucket Inquirer, in the issue of June 4, 1862. Reproduce in entire: ** "Richard was a man of very good abilities, he was called long-headed by his brother John, from his sense of the profoundness of his Judgment. He held a prominent place among the people of the island, was at one time Chief Magistrate. His residence was about half way between the house of our present worthy Sheriff, (1862) and the Eliphalet Paddack house. It has been taken down many years, and the locality is very much altered in its appearance. "The Gardners owned formerly much of the land adjacent to and surrounding the Lily pond, extending beyond Gardner's Burial Ground, and around the swamp on the North Shore Hill, also extending through Egypt (so called) to the present Town Hall, embracing some of the best meadows and grass lots on the island. A part of this territory was called Crooked Records, from the lines of the survey not coming together.....Richard Gardner Sen'r, and his brother Capt. John, exercised much influence in the community here while they lived, and they died respected." Richard Gardner married Sarah Shattuck, daughter of widow Damaris Shattuck who married Thomas Gardner Sen'r as his second wife. Richard and Sarah are supposed to have been married about 1652, at Salem. Like nearly all of her Shattuck relation, she was attached to Society of Friends and suffered much in consequence. In the County Court Records at Salem, Case 57, Term 5th mo., 1658, we find the following: "The wife of Richard Gardner was convicted of her frequent being absent from the publik ordinances on the Lord's Day, fees of court 30 sh." W.C. Folger thought that Richard might have had a wife
