Hello E. H. and list,

Several years ago I found the following article about a Thomas GARDNER
in a Pickens Co. Alabama history. (I was just beginning my research at
the time and photocopied the page, but forgot to note the booklet's
title.) I am wondering if this could be the same, or a relative of, the
Thomas GARDNER just mentioned in the message by E. Harn. Does anyone
have any more information on the family of the Thomas GARDNER below?
