The only Frederick GARDENHIRE I show is Reuben (Rubin) Frederick GARDENHIRE, b 1827 Overton Co., TN, d 1891 Rockwall Co., TX, m 1866 Collins Co., TX, Martha A. JOUETT. I have seen a Frederick listed in a CA census, but I cannot find it in my database.
Most persons named GARDENHIRE that I ahve come across descend from Jacob GARDENHIRE (1750 PA-1824 TN) and Margtaret Katherine THOMPSON (~1750 WALES-~1825 TN), who had five sons and two daughters. Jacob was an early settler in Roane Co., TN, but removed to Overton Co. some years before his death. One of his descendents founded the city of Dayton, Rhea Co., TN. The GARDENHIRE name is still relatively common in parts of east and middle TN. I recommend you search the GARDENHIRE family site in GenForum for info.
