From Portrait and Biographical Record of Marion, Ralls and Pike Counties Missouri 1895 (1982 Revised Edition), pages 670 - 671: Squire Lewis H. Gardner, a pioneer of Ralls County, Mo., was born in Scott County, Ky., August 22, 1822. His grandfather Thomas Gardner was born in Scotland and came to this country prior to the Revolutionary War and located in Maryland. He married in that State and engaged in farming, and during the struggle for independence served in the army of his adopted country. He removed to Scott County, Ky., about the year 1812. In his family were the following children: Joseph, who remained in Kentucky; Bennett, the father of our subject; Elizabeth, who lived and died in Kentucky; Mary, who married David Pulis and moved to Missouri in 1830, and subsequently to Shellsburg, Wis., where she died; Ann, who remained single and died in Ralls County. Thomas Gardner was a member of the Roman Catholic Church and died in that faith.
Bennett Gardner, the father of our subject, was born near Baltimore, Md., January 15, 1785. His boyhood was spent on a farm and his education received in the common schools. He married in Maryland Margarette Chadburn, a daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Chadburn. Her father was a native of England, and ran away from home when a boy of twelve years to escape the severity of his step-mother. He was compelled to carry water on Sunday for the Monday washings, and on Sunday set his bucket down at the spring and never afterward returned to his home. He settled in Maryland, but moved to Kentucky in 1812 at the same time with the Gardners. In 1830 he [Bennett Gardner] removed to Missouri and located in Center Township, Ralls County, which was his home until his death May 10 [April 15], 1845. His wife survived him until [March 13] 1854 and they were both buried in St. Paul Cemetery, Center Township. They were faithful members of the Roman Catholic Church.
Bennett and Elizabeth [Margaret] Gardner were the parents of the following children: Ann, born December 17, 1807, married William Pulis in Kentucky, moved to Missouri in 1830, and died in 1844; Julia A., born March 10, 1809, married Joseph Hardy in Ralls County, moved to Wisconsin in 1845, and then back to Missouri and again to Wisconsin, where she died; Teresa, born January 16, 1811, married Phillip McBride in Wisconsin; John C., born March 6, 1812, went to Jo Daviess County, Ill. (1832), returned to Missouri and went to school ten years and then returned to Illinois; Elizabeth, born February 11, 1815, was married in Ralls County to Abraham Sibert and moved to Wisconsin in 1841, then to Dubuque, Ia., where she died; Susan, born January 23, 1816, was married to Conrad Pulis in Ralls County, moved to Audrain County, and from thence to Shellsburg, Wis., thence to Dubuque, Ia., where she died; Margaret, born February 22, 1820, died in Ralls County at the home of our subject; Lewis H., our subject; Sarah H., born August 12, 1824, married John Shuck, who died in 1863, and she now resides in Hannibal, Mo.; Thomas B., born November 9, 1827, left Missouri in 1847, and never returned; he was last heard from in the Wisconsin pineries and is supposed to have perished in one of the forest fires in that State; William M., born January 27, 1832, died at the home of our subject in 1858. The father of these children died in 1845 and the mother in 1854...

Lewis Henry Gardner
On the 22nd day of August, 1822, in Scott county, Kentucky, Lewis Henry Gardner, of Center township, was born...
Mr. Gardner is of Scotch ancestry, a race of sturdy, honest and heroic people, which national traits have shown themselves in the fathers and family of him of whom we now write. His grandfather, Thomas Gardner, was a native of Scotland, came to America when the spirit of freedom was rising like a young giant in the Colonies and when the news from Concord and Lexington told that the struggle for independence had ripened into battle, he joined the continental army in defense of his adopted country and fought to the close of the war. Surely, may Squire Gardner feel that in his veins course heroic blood, for that which has come down from the men of seventy-six is of nobler origin and far more royal than ever warmed the robes of a king.
In 1830, Mr. Gardner's parents came to Missouri and settled in Center township, this county, where the father died in 1845. He was the father of eleven children of whom Lewis Henry was the eighth. When twenty-one years of age he left the parental roof and went to Illinois where he engaged in lead mining and where he espoused the cause of the Democratic party and cast his first vote for James K. Polk for President in 1844. He returned to Missouri in 1847, took charge of the home farm near Center, and in 1849 was married to Miss Mary Baxter...
