Current position

Thomas Gardner was the husband of Elisabeth Perkins and probable father of Sarah Gardner Bowen. His documented life is limited to the couple's 1743 Coventry marriage and Sarah's 1745 christening. The link to Sarah is uncertain because her 1764 marriage licence gives an age inconsistent with the christening date.
