Muriah, Just noticed your story begins here with James so I shall move your family over to the James pile. Marilynn ----- Original Message -----

Muriah, someone long ago put all of the Gardners into a big pot and stirred. Therein lies the problem. One kind soul offered to take John. Nobody else has come up with any offers. Come on, you guys. Gimmie a hand. If you looked at our Web Site www.usroots.com/~gardners/index.html you would see we have NO idea where the first William came from, his religion nor political persuasion. Head stone? Don't even know when he died. Just where. And that he apparantly DID die eventually. Oldest headstone I never went to look at (afraid of snakes in the tall grass) but I believe it is the one for Willliam Hoyle Garadner, son of Thomas, son of William, who died in 1847. Our Web Site is full of Gardner stories. Don't believe all of them.

There is a German surname Goertner which could easily have evolved into Gardner. There is a Gertner Web Site but it seems to be mostly Hungarian.

Marilyn, Thank you for the story of these Gardner relatives from Nantucket! This helps explain more of why the Gardner left Nantucket during the Revolution.
