Thank you for your response.Since posting the query, the information you shared has been received from others as well.Mary's husband, Richard, is son of Richard (1621-1686) and Sarah Shattuck.{Reference: "The Gardner Family of Maine" by Stanly Israel Gardner (privately published, 1986) which begins with Thomas Gardner coming to MA from England in 1624 on the "Zouch Phenix".He came to Cape Ann which is now Ipswich, MA to oversee a fishing & farming settlement that did not succeed.The project was abandoned in 1626 so he moved to Salem where he became an original founder. He and a few others bought Nantucket Island.The house he gave his wife is now the Museum on Nantucket Island.}Now I need THEIR parents and her Sarah's dates.Can you provide these, with source?
