Record for Charles Gardner
- [S601] Erin Antley Genealogy, e-mail communication, 29 Aug 2013.
Comments: Greetings! I believe that I am a descendant of the Gardner family line. My great-great grandfather was Charles Gardner. He was married to Eliza Charrier in July of 1870. Charles was born in 1852 and died sometime around 1883. On the 1860 census, there is a Charles Gardner listed as the child of Thomas S. and Emily Gardner. He was 8 years of age. This is consistent with the age of my Great-great grandfather. Family legend has it that he was a riverboat gambler. He was married to Eliza in 1870, they had 2 sons, Willie and Wyatt. I am descended from Willie. I do not know where Charles is buried. We suppose that if he really was a riverboat gambler, he may not have had a official burial. I really think that this is the correct lineage and that it is the answer to long standing questions in my family as to our roots. I have a picture of Charles and I recently made contact with another long lost cousin who is a descendant and she is going to send me a copy of a photo of Charles's wife Eliza. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Erin Antley
Farmerville, La
