THE GARDINER FAMILY.
Winthrop's Journal of Boston, under date of Nov. 28, 1635, recites : "Here arrived a small Norsey bark of twenty-five tons, sent by Lords Say, &c. with one Gardiner, expert engineer or work base, and provis- ions of all sorts, to begin a fort at the mouth of Connecticut. She came through many great tempests, yet, through the Lord's great providence her passengers, twelve men and two women and goods, all safe." This is an entry at the time, of the arrival of Lion Gardiner in Boston in a "Norsey bark," which is the short for "a North Sea Boat." Historically the record is valuable, to show the small size of vessels then navigating the ocean, compared with those of the present day. It clearly shows the designs of the Lords, engaged in founding the Colony of Connecticut, and it establishes the reputation of Lion Gar- diner as an "expert engineer," and fixes the date of his coming this side of the Atlantic. With him came from Woerden, a town in Holland, his wife Mary, daughter of Derike Willemson, whose aunt "was the wife of Wonter Leonardson old burgomaster." With him she went to the fort at Saybrook, at the mouth of the Connecticut river, and thence In 1639 to Gardiner's Island, where he established the first English settlement in the state of New- York, and thence in 1653 to East-Hampton.
Curtiss C. Gardiner, Esq., of St. Louis, Missouri, has with great learning and deep research, compiled his discoveries regarding the life and career of Lion Gardiner, from whom he descended, and has gath- ered a full genealogy of the Gardiner family, which has been published. I compile this sketch of the family largely from his book, and make it the more brief because his record has rescued from oblivion interesting knowledge which was perishable. The character and career of Lion Gardiner as a large hearted, humane, devout, Christian puritan, patriot, warrior and statesman, seeing far in advance of his age, inspired with wider conceptions of the teachings of the Great Master, whose large benevolence, whose tender sympathy, whose chivalrous friendship, whose undaunted courage extorted the admiration and confidence of the savage, are forever inscribed on the enduring pages of history. It has adorned his memory with the garland of immortality.
"The greater proportion of the family traced in this volume, have moved in the middle walks of life. Generally they have been respected citizens. Great honors and large wealth have not been the common heritage. On the whole, the family possesses an honorable record of both character and achievement." Thus Curtiss C. Gardiner, Esq., modestly closes his book entitled "Lion Gardiner and his Descendants." He could in justice to the family claim nothing less, and might fairly have claimed more. The strong sense of justice, the chivalrous regard for honor, the wide, far-seeing view, the generous heart, the adventur- ous enterprise, the good practical judgment, the patriotic impulse, that characterized the founder of the family in his Island home, very largely were transmitted to his descendants. The voice of detraction has sometimes been aimed at the Col. Abraham Gardiner of Revolu- tionary days, who was commissioned and acted under orders from British authority, to take from the inhabitants of his own and an adjoin- ing town, the oath of allegiance. But he acted in so serviug, and they acted in so taking the oath, under a compulsion in law and morals, avoiding all contracts and all obligations. As a fact those taking the oath were most devoted patriots, and so deemed and so honored by their fellow countrymen thereafter. I find no reason to believe Col. Gardiner less patriotic than they were, or less so than his own son Na-
278
thaniel, the surgeon of the Revolution. The world has condemned Eastern Long Island unjustly, for yielding to compulsion. When the condemning world has suffered, as our forefathers suffered, and exhib- ited a loftier patriotism, or more devoted iove of country, we will credit the world as it would then merit. Unintentionally, in vindicating the good name of Col. Gardiner, I have stated the ground on which, to im- partial minds, his cotemporaries of right should be exhonerated. The memories of my boyhood and the associations of my manhood plead for mention of an old and time honored friend. Samuel B. Gardiner, dec'd, was a schoolmate in Clinton Academy. As a boy I knew hini- high souled, sympathetic, social, generous, friendly, by far the most effective declaimer of all his cotemporaries. With majestic presence, with swelling volume of voice, with impressive emphasis, with harmo- nious action, with graceful attitude, he recited selections from the great masters of poetry and eloquence, of ancient and modern times. His declamation was at once the admiration and despair of his school- mates. In manhood he developed more decidedly the noble qualities promised in his youth. He was the trusted adviser of his townsmen; honored with official position whenever he would consent to accept it; twice elected to represent Suffolk County in the Assembly of the Em- pire State. Inheriting the activities of his father, and the nobility of nature that signalized his mother, he was one of nature's noblemen. Friend of my youth and maturer years : I can not withold this poor tribute to thy name and memory.
