Hi Dale and Beth, Most of what I have on the GARDNER line was in the post. I do have some penciled notes on Lewis E. Gardner, b. 25 Sep 1836 MI; died 20 Oct 1869 married to Julia Ann Brown. Eliza was born 1836 MI, possibly a twin to Lewis. (which would make sense for him to name a dau. after her) Elizabeth was born 26 Jan 1832 MI; died 1881 Sparta, MO; maried to Archibald Walker. The Walker & Gardner families seem to be tied to one another more than once. Hope this helps.

I have a Louisa (possibly Eliza) Gardner who married Charles McDaniels in Michigan. My uncle said Louisa's father was Louis. I have absolutely no information on these two people, and I haven't seen those names in the records I've looked through. I have Louis born in 1824, Eliza born in 1860. Siblings to Eliza were Emily, Aleck, Gus, Henry, William, Edward, Julie and Nettie. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brenda De Arth" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 02, 2001 10:22 PM Subject: [GARDNER] Joseph Gardner - PA > OH > MI > MO > Looking for info on : > Joseph GARDNER b. ca 1801 PA, most likely a trader.
