1665, May 3. He was before the Assembly upon petition of Horod Long, alias Gardner, his wife. She declared that when ber father died! (in England), she was sent to London, and was married unknown to her friends, to John Hicks, 1 privately in the under church of Paul's, called | St. Faith's Church, she being between thirteen and fourteen years old. She then came to New England with her husbandi, and livedl at Wey .! mouth two and a half years, thence coming to Rhode Island about the year 1640. and there lived ever since till she cime to Pettaconiscott. Soon after coming to Rhode Island, there hap- pened a difference between ber and her husband, John Hicks, and he weut away to the Dutch. carrying with him most of her estate, which bad been sent her by her mother. Her mother and brother lost their lives and estate in his 3Is- jesty's service she says.) After her desertion by Jobn Hicks, she became wife to George Gardi- ber, and by bim bad many children. Testimony as to her marriage to George Gardiner was given by Robert Stanton, who declared that one | night at his house both of them did say before bim sad his wife, that they did take one the other, as man and wife. Iforod Gardiner. bav- ing lived with her last husband eighteen or twenty years, now desired of Assembly that the estate and labor he had of mine, he may allow it me, and house upon my land I may enjoy without molestation, an i that he may allow me my child to bring up, wuh maintenance for her. and that be be restrained from troubling me more.

His daughter Mary, gave a receipt for £13, to her father-in-law ti, e. stepfatheri, William Hawkins, of Providence, being balance of legacy of £20, bequeathed by last will ot ber father, George Gardiner, of Newport, deceased. It is neyumel that he had a daughter Dorcas. who became the first wife al John Watson. Possibly his son Samuel was by his first wife, rather than his second.
Possibly also, Jeremiah was a grandson, rather than son.
The following record, made in su old family bible, 1700, Jul. 11, by William C Gardiner. is evidently erruncous in many important particu- lars, but not more so than traditionary state- meuts of families are often found to be.
