     Hattie V Gardner was born in 1898 at New York.² She married Paul Slater.

     Married name: Slater.

     James Gardner was born on 30 October 1739 at Belfast, Ireland.¹ He died on 20 September 1741 on the passage to America.¹

     Joniah Gardner Sr was born circa 1752 at New Jersey.¹ He died circa 1817 at Fleming County, KY, (maybe.)¹

     From 1987 Research in New Jersey by Wallace Gardner and Lora Ashby: they stated in a letter to me 16 May 1990 that during the Revolutionary War Joniah was a 'gun runner'. They supply war records showing payment in Continental and Specie (with interest) for carting to 29th Feby. last, and several other dates. He is listed as a private, Captain Carter's Company, Eastern Regiment, Morris County Militia and was on the rolls 7 May 1778 with the names of Janiah, Jeniah and Geniah Gardner. In a list of marriage licenses given in The Genealogical Magazineof New Jersey, October, 1943 (Vol. 18 No. 4) there is a Jeniah (or Jeriah) Gardner and Ace Parsel dated September 1 1774; however, Wallace and Lora are not sure if this is Joniah, Sr. (Various books of Bergen County History and tax records of this era list families of the surname Parsel with variations in spelling.)
     Janiah Gardner is included in the August, 1786 Tax List of Ratablesfor Saddle River Township, Bergen County, New Jersey. He is shown with 34 acres of improved Land valued at 5 Pounds with a total tax of 5 shillings. (There are previous Jeniah listings in Saddle River for the years 1784 and 1782 as shown in a compilation by T.L.C. Genealogy 'Bergen County, New Jersey
     Taxpayers 1777-1797' pg 167. Others of the surname Gardner/Gardiner/Gardenier listed are: Haramus, Johanes, Catherine, Elijah, Elisha and Thomas, but the Janiah/Jenish listing is the earliest. The years of record in this compilation for Saddle River are: 1778-1782, 1784, 1786, 1790-1793, and 1795-1797.)
     The next record of Joniah is the 1790 first Census, where we find him in Mt. Pleasant Township, Pennsylvania. Listed are: 1 male over 16; 5 males under 16 abd 3 females. Wallace Gardner believes that Joniah is the male over 16; Males under 16 are Aaron, Nicholas, Robert, Anthony and Charles; and females are Joniah's wife, Phoebe and Mary. He futher believes that Joniah's wife died on the journey to Fleming Co., Kentucky as there is no mention of her in Fleming County that he and Lora Ashby have found. (This theory must be in error. Son William was born in Kentucky; see 1850 and 1860 census reports.)
     Joniah lived on Locust Creek, Fleming Co., KY when the 1798 Tax List was prepared. He may have died between 1815 & 1817, as his last appearance on the tax list for Fleming County is 1815. Joniah's stock mark was a slit in the left ear and a hole in the right one (Book B, page 154, July 12, 1802, Fleming Co., KY). Joniah's birth date is estimated from census records for 1790 and 1810, and Revolutionary War service.
     From the Fleming County, Kentucky, Deed Book A-1 (1797 - 1801), page 36, 10 Sept 1798 Lewis Craig of Mason County sold to Joniah Gardiner of Fleming for 32 pounds, 10 shillings, 100 acres on the waters of Locust Creek, a branch of Licking. This 100 acres was bounded on the south by Robert Smith and James Winans, on the east John McCoy on north Larance (Lawrence) Triplett, and on the west by Samuel Pierce. Within the loines of a 30,000 acre survey of John Mosby, deceased, being a part of the fifth lot of said survey. Signed by Lewis Craig. No witnesses listed. Entered to record by Court 10, Sept 1798 acknowledged in court by Lewis Craig. Teste Joshua Stockton CFCPT.
     Joniah probably came to Fleming County about 1794 based upon the age of his son William, born in Fleming County (1850, 1860 census), making him one of the very early settlers.
     All his children had a note: see exhibit #1, but it unclear what that means.¹

     Levi Gardner was born on 1 March 1792 at Irvington, NJ.¹ He married Cathrine Supenor, daughter of Christopher Supenor and Mary Polly Simonson, before 1818 at Irvington, NJ.¹ Levi Gardner died on 12 November 1846 at Irvington, NJ.¹

     Margaret Gardner was born on 1 June 1842.¹ She married Jacob D Ackerman.² Margaret Gardner died on 13 April 1931.^3,1 She was buried in Wyckoff Cemetery in Wyckoff.³

NJ, a truckman; Margaret is 37, b. NY.² The 1900 census lists Margaret Gardner at 17 Verona Place at Brooklyn (ED 395), NY, with her niece Hattie Gardner (24, b. Jan 1876, NY) and a servant Maggie Greany (21, b. Sep 1878, Ireland. Margaret is b. Jun 1842, NY, listed as married, married at age 39, no children, parents b.England.⁴ Married name: Ackerman.

     William was a freeholder; that is one who owned real estate. He was on the toll List, May 1776, for delegates from Morris County to the first New Jersey Constitutional Convention. Other Gardner men from Morris Town and/or Morris Township were ...miah, Christopher and Henry. There was also a Joseph Gardner from Hanover Township. By comparison, on the same date Henry Gardner in the same township had 124 acres valued at 15 pounds. Henry was possibly a brother with a large family. Christening records of his many children are in the register at the First Presbyterian Church, Morristown.
Earlier still, in the year 1752 the number of freeholders in Morris County is estimated at 450. Interesting names on a list for Morris Town are William Gardner, Jr. Samuel Sutton, Joseph Wood and Jonathan Wood.
