Seek information on ROBERT GARDNER, born in PA 9/27/1790, possibly in
Lancaster Co., as he married NANCY STONEMETS, daughter of Casper & Ann
Stonemets of Cocalico Twp., Lancaster Co., probably German immigrants.

Robert served in the War of 1812 with a Militia company raised from Perry
Co., IN and Breckinridge Co., KY. At some time after the War and before
1820, Robert and Nancy, along with Nancy's parents and at least one of
their other daughters moved to Rome, Perry Co., IN.

Children of Robert and Nancy Gardner:
1) Casper S. Gardner b: 11/5/1823 Rome, IN
2) Elizabeth A. Gardner b: abt. 1825 Rome, IN

Nancy Gardner died 11/25/1827 Rome, IN

Robert re-married in 1828 to Eliza Connor in Rome.

Children of Robert and Eliza:
1) Samuel C. Gardner b: 11/20/1830
2) Catharine Gardner b: abt. 1833
3) William R. Gardner b: abt. 1834
4) Robert F. Gardner b: 12/25/1835
5) James Gardner b: abt. 1839 (All born in Perry Co. IN)

Casper S. Gardner, son of Robert, married Drusilla J. Thompson 7/7/1846,
and had three children:

1) Ann S. Gardner (10/31/1847-5/6/1883) My great-grandmother
2) Mary L. Gardner (10/1/1849-5/5/1888)
3) Casper S. Gardner (8/7/1851-1922) Sheriff of Perry Co. IN

Will appreciate any help, especially on Robert's PA roots.
