I had no idea that Thomas Gardner would have had a daughter that had
lived until this week and am sorry to hear of her death. Thomas
Gardner and my Great Grandfather Edward Rice Wall served during the
Civil War together. Thomas signed Edward's pension application on the
Oath of Resident Witness form, Sept. 24, 1910, stating that they had
known each other for forty years in Carroll County Virginia. There is
a notation at the top of the form. It is extremely difficult to read,
but it either states that "He signed up infantry with me." or "He
signed up Wytheco with me."
I think it is the first, but can not be sure. Thomas and Edward were
boys that I am sure became men far too quickly as Edward was only 13
or 14 and Thomas could not have been much older. The Gardner family
has my condolences.
