Mysterious "Mary", who was she?
Was the 2nd wife of Isaac Gardner Sr., who is named simply, Mary, in his will a sister? cousin? related at all to Lt. Daniel Culp? For years it has been thought by some that Isaac's wife was a Culp, his will proves his wife's name was "Mary. Some sources believed this Mary to be a daughter of Lt. Daniel Culp and Esther Chaplin (Chapline) Culp. Some thought his son Isaac Jr. was married to Mary Vinnel Culp, daughter of Lt. Daniel Culp and Esther Chaplin(Chapline) some had her name as Nancy Culp. It has now been proven , that the Nancy married to Isaac Gardner Jr. was , "Nancy Rose".
Mary Vinnel Culp, daughter of, Lt. Daniel Culp and Esther Chaplin(Chapline)Culp, was the wife of Abraham Ruddell, a marriage record exists for them, a recently found 1895 manuscript, written by a stepson of Mary Vinnel Culp Ruddell's , brother, Thomas Culp,also verifies Mary and Abraham's marriage. So from Isaac Gardner Sr. or Isaac Gardner Jr., does anyone have verification of a Culp/Gardner connection?
Lt. Daniel Culp was b., abt. 1740, d.abt. 1791, Bourbon Co. Ky. His daughter:
Mary Vinnel Culp, b., abt. 1776 m. Abraham Ruddell, they were living in Indp.Co. AR.
Mary Vinnel Culp, b., abt. 1776 m. Abraham Ruddell, they were living in Indp.Co. AR.
Isaac Gardner Sr. b., abt. 1775-78 his 2nd
Wife:
Mary(in his will)b., 1750-60 (maiden name unknown)
Wife:
Mary(in his will)b., 1750-60 (maiden name unknown)
Any Gardner researchers with a Gardner/Culp connection that could possibly verify the maiden name of this "Mysterious Mary" ?
