Research Note

Other early settlers in Stephentown, some of whom were among the first,( including Asa Douglas, father of presidential candidate and orator, Stephen Douglas) were men by the name of Moon, Rowland Hall, Dr. Nicholas Harris, and the Gardner brothers, Joshua, Caleb, Nathaniel, Benjamin and others; no more names given. Joshua Gardner in 1774 cut his way through the woods from the old "East Road" that passed from Lebanon Springs, up over the mountains to the place where he located. Ann Gardner was their sister.

The records are clear as to the coming to Stephentown of some Gardners who were brothers of Benjamin first mentioned and from these families numerous branches have gone forth.

In the research we have found the following names and official relations sustained to the government.

Assistant Justice of the Court.

George Gardner appointed by the Governor of New York, 1771.

Powell Gardner appointed by the Governor of New York, 1802. Powell Gardner succeeded himself for four terms and then at the close of a term of another appointee was re appointed and held the office till March, 1815, when William Gardner was appointed.

As a family, the Gardners have played a creditable part in the development of the new country, and the useful position it now occupies is testified to by the very considerable number of prominent and able members it includes."
