I remember Lester Gardner, and Ella Gardner Mero. Lester was a lawyer, and Ella owned a drug store which also had one of the old fashioned ice cream parlors. It seems as if there was a Russell and a Marion too. Russell lived in Albany and committed suicide I believe their father was Alfred and mother was Julia. I think Ella had a daughter, but I don't remember her name. If my memory serves correctly, the daughter lived in Saranac Lake. I am not at the office right now, but I believe there are death records for some of the above. If you are interested in more, please let me know.

They moved from Hartford, NY to Ticonderoga after 1816 where he bought a 200 acre tract of land in the Vineyard. Here he built the first squared log house in town. When this house was built, the old log barn across the road had already been built for some time, and many think it was one of General Burgoyne's outposts. The old house was occupied by several generations until destroyed by fire in Dec 27, 1927 They were still in Ticonderoga in 1820 and the census of 1830 stated three SWEETs, William and his sons, Ithamer and James and it appeared that they had farms neighboring each other.

My great grandfather, Moses Adam Knowlton, was a steamboat pilot on Lake Champlain for DECADES after the Civil War. His son--my grandfather--William Newell Knowlton also skippered on the Lake for some years in the 1890s. My Dad, upon hearing about "Champ" told me that NEVER did his Father even mention the "monster" as a joke much less taking it seriously. And evidentally old Moses ever talked about such a creature either. Seems to me that this "Champ" business "arose" sometime in the 1960s. But anyway, Port Henry and Essex need the tourist money.
