'Colonial Families of the USA, 1607-1775' -- See son Peter GARDNER source. Couldn't get it to save to Thomas. This also where I got the death date for wife.

Another Ancestry source I can't save to Thomas is https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/10267/images/dvm_GenMono000089-00007-0?treeid=160212268&personid=282205504476&hintid=1020308757931&usePUB=true&_phsrc=mcm1762&_phstart=default&usePUBJs=true&pId=16&backurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ancestry.com%2Fcgi-bin%2Fsse.dll%3Findiv%3D1%26dbid%3D10267%26h%3D16%26tid%3D160212268%26pid%3D282205504476%26hid%3D1020308757931%26usePUB%3Dtrue%26_phsrc%3Dmcm1762%26_phstart%3Ddefault%26usePUBJs%3Dtrue

- She is *NOT* Margaret Gardner b 1589 d 1636.
- She never lived in Salem, MA.
- She is *NOT* Margaret Frier.
The above are associated with the Thomas Gardner who arrived at Cape Ann and moved to Salem. This is NOT our Thomas.
