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.

Lewis married Mary (Polly) Kendrick on 7 Mar 1827. Mary (daughter of Thomas Kendrick and Sally Lambert) was born on 1 May 1797; died in 1885. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

During September 1847 William Gardner and all his family were ill with typhoid fever. William died on Sunday the 12th and his daughter Jane died the following Sunday. He was 46 and Jane was 17. They were buried next to each other on this farm.

The cemetery is at the top oh the little hill on the right side of the road, There is junk all over the cemetery and several pretty large trees. There is evidence of several other graves but only two that can be read. This is one of those really sad cemeteries.

Captain Ed Dixon of Fallston, N.C. at the age of 96 years spoke with P. Cleveland Gardner about James Gardner: He said that the age limit of military service in the Civil War was 45 years, and James Gardner was called into service in 1862 with the Senior Reserves. After the death of his wife he moved with his family to the old mill place of Andrew Beam situated on Buffalof Creek about two miles southeast of Fallston, later known as the Mike Baker old mill place. In speaking of James Gardner, Captain Ed Dixon says: " James Gardner ran Andrew Beam's mill about the year of 1857; I was teaching school at Carpenter's School House at that time, which stood near where the Julius Hoyle old home was situated. I taught school for a salary of $18 a school term of three months and boarded amoung the 'Scoolars' free of charge. I spent several nights at the home of James Gardner. His children, Rufus, McDuffie, and Kendall, and probably others, attended my school. It was a custom then to hold public debates at school houses at night. We held weekly debates at the Carpenter school house, and James Gardner attended our debates. He was a deep thinker, and one of our best debaters. James Gardner later moved down near Kings Mountain to the Hill Farm, on January 15, 1858."

From Clevelamd Gardner's notes: Elizabeth never married. Upon the death of her father, her mother Ollie Gardner bought a plantation just east and adjoining Col. Grigg. Here Ollie, her two daughters Elizabeth and Rebecca moved and resided until their death. This farm consisted of more than one hundred acres. When their mother died the two sisters lived together. They, with the help of several slaves, farmed the plantation. Upon the death of Rebecca the plantation and slaves were conveyed to Elizabeth. Elizabeth Gardner was considered remarkable by many. She was well read and took an active interest in all public affairs. Capt. Ed Dixon who lived near Fallston and lived past 96 years said of her; "About the year of 1855 Lem Hoyle and I attended a sociable or party at the home of widow Sarah Boggs about six miles north of Fallston where Max Boggs now lives. Elizabeth Gardner was at the party and spent the night there. She was much older than I. She was a well dressed, attractive lady, and a good entertainer. Capt. Hoyle and I were both teaching school at that time, and we made the trip in a buggy." Elizabeth Gardner heired a slave woman named Flora from her mother. Elizabeth Gardner left her home to Flora "Gardner" in her will. Flora then left the home to her daughter Emma. Emma was born July 17, 1863, a slave herself until slavery was abolished. Emma was widowed and later lived with her daughter, son in law, and four grandchildren. She kept one of the upstairs rooms locked and no one was allowed inside. This room contained old pictures, antique furniture and other relics of Thomas Gardner. Mrs. Schenck often spoke reverently of the Gardners who have "so befriended her". She also had a book with this inscription: MY BOOK and HEART WILL NEVER PART Elizabeth and Rebecca Gardner are buried at New Bethel Church.
