Special thanks to George Edgar Drake for
compiling much of the information in the later generations of this annex.
Origin of the surname “Gardner:”
Gardner derived from two Gaelic words: “gair,” which
means outcry or alarm; and “din,” which means hill or fortress. Thus Gardner means dweller in a fortified
place or hill.
The earliest Gardners were English. In 1624 Thomas Gardner came to America as a
member of the Dorchester Company. He was
chosen as leader in the company’s pioneer enterprises and continued to be prominent
in its activities until his death in 1635.
He eventually settled at Salem, Massachusetts.

here was born in 1800, so this Smith E. Gardner, if related, must be of a later
generation.

married, with no occupation recorded, was heading a household at Madison

completed 2 years of high school. The

(b.
Grace L. Smith: (photos) Born July 1886 in New York. Died .
Perhaps adopted. Resided with her
parents (see above for census data); employed last as a doctor of neuropathy in
her own practice in the City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County,
Pennsylvania. Apparently never married.
Note: In both the 1900 and
1910 censuses, the year of marriage for Ida and Frank Smith can be estimated at
about 1883, which aligns well with their son, David's birth in 1884. But in both censuses Ida recorded having had
2 children, one of whom was still alive.
This suggests either David or Grace was adopted, since they were both in
that household in 1900, when only 1 of Ida's 2 children was still alive.
