    Notes:

    From Clevelamd Gardner's notes: We do not have the correct records of Lewis Gardner's birth and death. However from other birth records we can approximate his birth at around 1800 - 1805. From information from his grandchildren and others who remembered his death in 1880 we know the following. Lewis Gardner was active in both church and politics. In politics he was a Republician, and in religion a Baptist. He was one of the founders of the old Capernaum Baptist Church. He was also Clerk and Deacon from the founding until his death. When Cleveland County was formed in 1841 he was a member of the first Board of Commissioners and was Chairman of the Board. About 1870 he was a candidate on the Republican ticket against W.T. Miller who ran on the Democrat ticket. Miller was elected. Lewis taught school and served as Justice of the Peace. During Reconstruction he was one of three men appointed by Governor Holdon to handle the affairs of Cleveland County. Lewis Gardner And wife Mary Kendrick first settled on the plantation owned by Spencer Vaughn and later by William Vaughn West. This was near the later home of Tom Vaughn and Chapel Vaughn. A short time later he bought a large plantation just south of Waco and adjoining the "old Kendrick Plantation" near and northwest of the Capernaum Baptist Church. The Following information was given to P. Cleveland Gardner May 10,1929 by Tom Kendrick of Fallston: Lewis Gardner married Polly Kendrick, a daughter of Tommie Kendrick who came from Virginia and settled at or near Capurnium Church. During or following the Civil War Lewis took a negro by the name of Sam Fox home with him and let him sleep in a nice clean bed. This offended Gardner's wife and her brothers told him to never do so again. Sam Fox's widow is now around 100 years old and lives with her son Charles on her own land on a farm just east of Buffalo Creek and adjoining the Hoyle Alexander home place.
