Hello Barbara. I am sorry but I don't see a possibiliity of a connection with our GARDNERS. I have nothing to connect them.I think my John Gardner was in the Carolina area, But strange as it seems-- they did get around! The first I have of a Gardner, is of a relative being in the Carrarus or Mecklinburg area of North Carolina. There was a lot of activity in that area . Thank you very much for your e-mail. c.todd [email protected] note: that is Cabarrus County, NC
