Mike, I didn't see any obvious Samuels that would fit into the family information that I have. However, I will send you what I have about my Benoni Gardner (he was born a Gardiner). Samuel could have been a nephew of Benoni's also. I hope that this helps. Obviously, only his brothers are good candidates for the parents of Samuel, and probably just the oldest ones. Happy hunting! - Jean Griesan Benoni (Benonia) Gardner (Gardiner) was born on 25 March 1752 in Stonington, New London County, Connecticut. He was born to Abiel Gardner and Ruth Shaw.
