HISTORY OF NANTUCKET
GARDNER
The two brothers, Richard and John Gardner, sons of Thomas, were residents of Salem, before coming to Nantucket. They were probably both born in England, coming to America about 1640. Richard was the first to remove to Nantucket, where he was grant- ed a half share March 22, 1666-7, to exercise his trade as a "Sea- man." His oldest son, Joseph, was also granted a half share Feb- ruary 15, 1667, to exercise his trade as a "Shoe Maker." Joseph's contract, under vote of the Town February 15, 1667, grants him "half a share of accommatition answarable to the other Trades- men on conditions that he supply the occasions of the Island in way of a Shoemaker, and likewise that he shall not leve the Island in point of Dwelling for the Space of four years or if it so fall out that he shall remove off from the Island within the aforesaid Terme that he shall leave the said accomadation aforementioned to his brother Richard on the terms aforesaid that he supply the occasions of the Island as a Shoemaker." It is very probable that father and son removed in 1667 or 1668 .* The Records show that at this time John Bishop, sold to Richard Gardner a tract of land at Wesco Pond.
About the same time a grant of land was made to John Gard- ner. There seems, however, to be no evidence that John removed to the Island until 1672 or 1673.1
Mr. Worth says "His" ( Richard's) "house lot was around Wes- co now called Lily Pond, so irregular in form as to be called the "Crooked Record." His house was on the west end of Sunset Hill, where is now." (1901) "the residence of Eben W. Francis. He was Chief Magistrate in 1673 and held other Town offices. None of the old records are in his handwriting, from which it may be inferred that he was not educated. * * * * His house was probably the easternmost of that day. * * * Joseph Gardner was constable, assessor and selectman each once. *
* He probably lived within * the limits of the "Crooked Record."
"John Gardner, called Capt. Gardner, married Priscilla Graf- ton. He died in 1706, 82 years old, and left a widow and 12 child- ren. His house lot was on the north side of the road which is now called North street, and included 30 acres, and extended from the road to the Cliff. It was west of the Hamblin house."}
Richard Gardner Senior married Sarah Shattuck, daughter of Samuel. Their children were: i, Joseph; ii, Sarah ** iii, Richard (born October 23, 1653); iv, Deborah, (born December 12, 1658) ;
*Mr. Worth says in 1665 (Land and Land Owners p. 68).
¡S. Baring Gould in "Family Names and Their Story" says "The name (Gardner) is French; we may conclude, therefore, that the An- glo-Saxons had no gardens, only orchards. The surname is often spelled Gardiner and Gardner, also Jardine." (p 108). Patronymica Britannica says of the name-"Its principal modern forms are Gard- iner, which according to Camden's joke denotes the gentleman, and the more plebeian Gardner. Gardener itself is rare." #"Land and Land Owners" pp. 68-9.
** Gardner makes Sarah the third and Richard the second child. (Thomas Gardner, Planter, pp. 49-50).

Sarah married Eleazer Folger son of Peter; Deborah married first John Macy, son of Thomas, and second, Stephen Pease; Miriam married (September 22, 1684) John Worth, son of William; Hope married John Coffin, son of James and Mary. Richard Senior died January 23, 1688; his widow died 1724, aged about 92 years.

Their children were-i, John; born February 20, 1654; ii, Joseph born July 8, 1655; iii, Priscilla born November 6, 1656; who Savage thinks had married John Arthur in Salem, but her husband having died she followed her father to Nantucket; iv, Benjamin, born February 3, 1658 (died young) ; v, Rachel, born August 3, 1661, who married first John Brown and second James Gardner her cousin; vi, George, born -; died 17th, 2d mo. 1750, married Eunice Starbuck, daughter of Nathaniel and Mary; vii, Benjamin, born May 17, 1664; viii, Ann, born February 20, 1667, who married Edward Coffin, son of Peter Jr. and Abigail; ix, Na- thaniel, born September 24, 1668; and x, Mary, born May 27, 1670, who married (1686) Jethro Coffin, son of Peter.f About 1672 he removed to Nantucket and there had xi, Mehitable, born November 24, 1674, who married (August 14, 1704) Ambrose Dawes; and xii, Ruth, born January 26, 1676, who married (19th, 3 mo. 1692) James Coffin, son of James and Mary. In his will, probated October 2, 1706, he mentions his wife, one son only-xiii, George- and six daughters, so it is likely his other sons did not come to the Island.

i Sarah, born October 23, 1672, who married Joseph Paddack (March 5, 1696). ii Damaris, born February, 16, 1674, who married Stephen Barnard, son of Nathaniel.

ner mentions a son George and grandsons Jeremiah and Nathaniel Gardner. Also a grandson John Gardner to whom he devises land and his 18 of a watermill in Salem. He mentions land, stock, cattle, etc., on Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard.
