The South Carolina Connection
[Note: Robert Gardner also descends from Martin A. and Lydia Horn Gardner. You will note many similarities in the research contributed by Ms. Forrester and Mr. Bob Gardner but a number of differences as well. Genealogy, we have come to learn, is NOT an exact science. Any questions or comments about either of these genealogies may be directed to the contributer.]
