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.

American Civil War, serving as a Private in Company C of the 10th New York
Heavy Artillery Regiment (the unit most volunteers joined in northern New York

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

Gardner, age 58 and employed as a laborer residing in Champion Township,
