Notes:
From Clevelamd Gardner's notes: Thomas Gardner like many others in Cleveland County enlisted in the Confererate Army at the beginning of the Civil War. He was wounded at the battle of Sharpsburg and his injury was serious enough that he had to return home for a time to recover. Once strong again he returned to his company. He was seen to fall of a wound at the battle at Gettysburg. He was never seen or heard from since. After first considered wounded and missing he was later declared killed in action. He was probably burried in a mass grave there.
Military Service:
Promoted to Sgt 1 Aug 1862. Present and accounted for until wounded at Sharpsburg, MD on 17 Sep 1862. Returned home to recover from his wounds. Returned to service Jan-Feb 1863. Missing and probably killed at Gettysburg. Mary, his widow, applied for pension 27 Jun 1885.
