I am sorry I have forgotten the web site, but I think you might be able to find it in Cindy's List. There is a website for New Brunswick queries. It connects you to some big library (again, I have forgotten becuase it was a couple of years ago that I queried there) in New Brunswick that will do a look-up for you, of one name. I was working on the possibility that one of my ancestors had come from there (one other researcher on the same guy thought so) and put my query on. I was answered, asked for my snail mail address, and a couple of weeks later received the information I wanted. ( My mystery man did not come from N.B. after all.) The problem is, however, is that you have to have some idea of the county, as I remember. Sorry I cannot be more specific, but it would be worth a try to search for N.B. info sites, or to try a rootsweb list for that province and see if you can get some help with your John. From the year that he was born, I suppose it might be possible that he was the son or grandson of a Gardner who went to Canada during or just before the Revolution as many people did.....just a thought. Hope you have some luck. Have you tried the rootsweb list MAINE-L......I have had some good help there. I have been looking through some of my Gardner info in regard to other surnames on Nantucket that married with my Gardner line. I just read about one Richard Pinkham who was b. in Nantucket in 1752, and died in Nova Scotia in 1830. He was a Quaker and was a blacksmith. He shipped out as a blacksmith on a whaling vessel and while enroute home from whaling in the north during the Revolution, his ship was taken by a British man of war, and Richard Pinkham, with two others (not named) was captured and impressed into the king's service. The British vessel sailed for Nova Scotia coast and anchored in Margaret's Bay, near Halifax. Pinkham and three others jumped overboard in the night and swam ashore. For over a week they hid on one of the islands, and finally reached the mainland. Knowing that some of the people of Nantucket had settled around Barrington, N.S., Richard and a companion named Coffin finally worked their way to that place where Richard settled, established a blacksmith shop, married, raised a familly with a Lydia Coffin who was also born on Nantucket. (From Pinkham Genealogical Notes prepared by John C. Chadbourne) Anyway, this is one way folks from Nantucket got to Canada. I am sure there were less adventurous ways some Gardners went from Nantucket and settled there.........maybe yours?
