John Gardner and Betsy Finch Descendant - DNA testing
Posted by: Bob Gardner (ID *****6033) Date: June 23, 2009 at 06:31:08

I am in search of a male Gardner descendant of John Gardner and Elizabeth "Betsy" Finch, who is willing to submit a sample for DNA testing with me. I am trying to prove or disprove the notion that my gg-grandfather William Finch Gardner was either son or grandson of John Gardner b. 1750. The person would ideally be a descendant of either James or Robert, since they migrated to Missouri and their biographies, done in the 1880's verified them as being sons of John and Betsy.

A recently found document states that William Finch Gardner was a son of a William Frederick Garner and Mary Ruth Fishburne. I have yet to find any documented evidence that this couple even existed.

Descendants of John Gardner
                            
John Gardner       b: Abt. 1770 in Scotland d: Abt. 1838 in Campbell Co., Virginia
+Elizabeth Finch b: 1774 in Campbell Co., Virginia d: Aft. 1840
