      A. "Samuel and Joanna Gardner
      No substantive evidence has been found for the parents of Samuel Gardner, and those published claims of his parents that have been reviewed do not survive critical review of claimed dates, places and various relationships. The basic Gardner family information is from Genealogies of Hadley Families, by Lucius M. Boltwood (1905, reprinted Baltimore 1979), and other standard colonial New England sources.
      Samuel Gardner - b. 1615; d. Nov. 22, 1696, Hadley, Hampshire Co., MA. Samuel was an original proprietor of Hartford in 1640, was reportedly at Wethersfield, CT in 1641, and removed to Hadley, Hampshire Co., MA in 1663. He was said to be about age 81 at death. Married first say about 1640, probably at Hartford, Hartford Co., CT, and second about 1646 to Elizabeth (d. Jun. 21, 1676, Hadley, Hampshire Co., MA).

      Children of Samuel and Joanna Gardner:
      Samuel - d. Jan. 12, 1677, Hadley, Hampshire Co., MA. Never married. The settlement of his estate in 1677 states that Joanna and Sarah were his only sisters.

      Joanna - d. Mar. 18, 1729, Hadley, Hampshire Co., MA. Married Feb. 3, 1680/1 at Hadley, Hampshire Co., MA to Nathaniel Warner (b. about 1655; d. Jan. 15, 1714, Hadley, Hampshire Co., MA), son of John Warner and Priscilla Symonds. A weaver, Nathaniel became freeman in 1683.
