It has been a while since I posted but see the subject of Tennessee Gardners and thought it might be time to do so again. My JOHN GARDNER (born ca 1764) was living in Sumner Co., TN by 1820 when he is listed in the census there. He left a will in Sumner Co., TN signed 15 Jan 1828 and proved 1828. He was married to MOURNING LASSITER 27 Dec 1786 in Bertie Co., NC. She also left a will in Sumner Co., TN signed 27 June 1828; proved August Term, 1828. They had two children known to me, CULLEN BRYANT GARDNER (b. 1791) and a daughter SALLY (b. 1795) who married WILLIAM HOUSE. I would like to connect John Gardner to his parents.....clearly one of the Bertie Co Gardners. I believe that MARTIN GARDNER, JR. & SARAH BRYANT of Bertie Co., NC are a possibility. Does any of this look familiar to anyone? Thanks, Toni Cain Moody
