    Notes 
    • From Clevelamd Gardner's notes: After the death of her husband Martin Gardner in 1824, his widow, Nancy Glasco Gardner was married to Will (Wilts) Martin. About the year of 1845 Nancy Sold her farm near the London mineral spring. She and her daughter Sallie Gardner, together with her second husband Will Martin, and their four children set out by covered wagon to Mississippi. It is said that there were nine families from Cleveland County that moved to Mississippi together. The names of some of these families include the following: Dave Gardner and family; Hoyle, Elliott, London, and Falls It required many weeks to make the trip by wagon from North Carolina to Mississippi. They had to travel through South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. Twenty days after the little band left Cleveland County, Will Martin was kicked by a horse and severely wounded. He died nine days later while in camp on O'Nooke River in Georgia and he was buried there in a Lutheran Cemetery. Before Dying he called his friend, Mr. Elliott, to his side and asked him to assist his wife Nancy in selecting a farm upon reaching Mississippi. Just a few days after her husband was buried his oldest son, Dillard, died of asthma. They were in Alabama at the time so he was buried there. Upon reaching Mississippi it is said that this Mr. Elliott assisted in selecting one of the finest farms in the state. Nancy and her children settled and lived here for a number of years. This farm was probably in Princess County where Dave Gardner and his family was located. Later, Sallie Gardner was married to Gray Ham London who was the son of Chandler London of Cleveland County, N.C. Nancy later sold this farm and settled near the indian territory line. Just where is not known.
