Hi Listers, I have been researching for my gg-grandfather William O Hart. I have discovered that in about 1854 a Daniel Gardner married a Hester A., living in Camillus, NY; had an adopted William O. Hartt. The 1855 Onondaga County Census said that Daniel was 29 years of age and Hester was 32 years of age. Daniel was a farmer. Does anyone have information on this adoption/guardianship of William? I'm trying to find William's birth parents and if he had any siblings. And now, why was he adopted?

Transcribed from "An Illustrated History of The Big Bend Country, embracing Lincoln, Douglas, Adams and Franklin counties, State of Washington", published by Western Historical Publishing Co., 1904. JERRY H. GARDNER is one of the pioneers of Lincoln county, is well known throughout the country, has hosts of friends and a first class standing. He resides in Davenport and owns considerable property. Jerry H. Gardner was born in Genesee county, New York, on August 6, 1841, being the son of Jerry H. and Dinah (Bush) Gardner, natives also of Genesee county, New York. In 1845, the former journeyed to Boone county, Illinois, and in 1850, they came to Iowa. In April, 1863, they left that state for the uncertain journey across the plains. They were with a large train of over forty wagons and horses were used to draw their conveyances. For three months they traveled before reaching San Jose, California. They had numerous battles with the Indians but owing to the fact that their train was a large one, they came through all right. The parents settled on a farm and there remained until their death, which was in 1893, the mother aged seventy-nine and the father, eighty. They were the parents of two children, Thomas M., who died in 1890, and Jerry H., the subject of this review. The father was of Irish extraction and the mother of Dutch. Our subject was educated in Allamakee county, Iowa and early learned the blacksmith trade. He was just past twenty-one when they crossed the plains and as soon as they arrived in California, started for himself. He followed his trade until 1880, when he came to Walla Walla. There he was employed as blacksmith, by the government, to go to Colville. In November, 1882, he was transferred to Fort Spokane and remained there until he was elected sheriff, in 1898. He was nominated by the Republicans against O. Deveniss, Populist, and J. Morlan, Democrat and won the day by a hondsome majority. After serving the term, his party again called him to run on the Republican ticket and L. A. Ranade, Democrat, was his opponent. Again, Mr. Gardner was succesful. During this time occurred the capture of the noted outlaw, Tracy, which is fully detailed in another portion of this work. In June, 1862, Mr. Gardner married Miss Elizabeth Jackson, whose father, William Jackson, was a first cousin of the noted General Jackson and they have in their possession a continued history of the family for two hundred years back. Mrs. Gardner was one of a family of six children. Mr. Gardner is a very active and well informed Republican, a real wheelhorse in the campaigns. In addition to holding the office of sheriff as mentioned above, he has been justice of the peace and deputy sheriff as well as an incumbent of various other offices. Mr. Gardner has been an odd fellow for thirty-four years and is also a member of the A. F. & A. M. Mrs. Gardener has passed all the chairs in the Rebekah order and has also been to the grand lodge. They are highly respected people and are the center of a large circle of admiring friends.

The New Jersey Turnpike Authority is seeking the descendants of those buried in a potters' field cemetery in Hudson County. The turnpike needs the land to build an interchange that will serve the Secaucus Transfer train station near Laurel Hill. The cemetery on those grounds was used by Hudson County's former poorhouse, mental hospital, and penitentiary. More than 3,500 bodies may be in the ground, located behind a prison annex and under an elevated section of highway. The authority will spend $3.89 million to locate and remove the remains, transport them to a new location, and reinter them. A memorial will also be placed at the new site. State Superior Court Judge Thomas Oliveri in Hudson County is overseeing the move. Several weeks ago, Oliveri ordered the turnpike to run legal ads searching for relatives of the deceased. Oliveri said in September that he wants to hear from relatives of the deceased. So far, only six have come forward, and only one has been confirmed as having a relative in the cemetery.

Benton County Missouri was the home to a relatively large population of German Immigrants. These people tended to stay together, in land purchases, in social gatherings, in churches, and in marriages. In my Family Tree, two Tietjen women married two Gardner men. Notice the changes in spellings throughout the years. Johann Carl Gaertner's name changed at least three times during the 1850-1865 years, when he purchased property, when he joined the "German Home Guards" during the Civil War, and later when he was discharged. It all depended on how well the clerk spoke the German language. And his name was easy compared to other German names!

The three Gardners buried in the Gardner Cemetery in DeKalb County, AL, are my great-grandparents and a great-uncle. I found the little burying ground back in the 1980's--it's way back in the woods. With the help of several family members I had it cleaned up and the fence, with its charming little gate, restored. I think there are other graves there, but was able to find only three stones. There's an error in the information Liz (bless her!) found, however. Sarah Matilda Gardner was the wife of Joseph H. Gardner. William S. Gardner was their son. His early death was the result of a bizarre accident. He was out nutting with friends. One of the party climbed into a tree with a hachett to bang on the limbs & jar the nuts off. The hachett slipped from his hand & fell on g'uncle Willie's head, killing him. He left a widow and two small sons, Ralph & Leslie Gardner. Joseph H. Gardner (the 3rd of this name)
