David & Sophia (Shelmadine) Gardner
Looking for info on David Gardner, b. 1787 NY, d. 1865 and his wife Sophia Shelmadine, b. Sep. 18, 1786 Schoharie Co., NY, d. May 8, 1859 Oil Creek Twp., Crawford Co.,PA. Anything appreciated--his parents, their children, etc. It would appear her parents were Richard Shelmadine who died Dec. 15, 1826 Oil Creek Twp., Crawford Co., PA and Catharina Kniskern. Anyone know of this couple?David and Sophia had a son Henry Gardner, b. abt. 1808 NY, d. Farmington Twp., Warren, PA. He married Catherine Ruland who was the daughter of Obadiah Ruland and Mary Shelmidine. Mary was possibly a relative of Sophia. Are there any Gardner/Shelmadine/Ruland researchers who can help me here? Thanks much!
G. Gardner
