Gardner Cousins

[nbcatlover]

Haven't had time for any Lizzie research lately, but the recent articles pertaining to the Gardner cousins had me going through my files.

I don't guarantee the accuracy of all the following--some came from secondary sources. However, it may help with anyone doing their own research.

Descendants of John Vinnicum

1 John Vinnicum
.. +Bethany Kinnicutt
........ 2 Susanna Vinnicum 1807 - 1895
............ +Zephaniah S. Mason 1804 - 1844
................... 3 Caroline Cole Mason 1839 -
....................... +Henry Agustus Gardner 1835 -
............................. 4 Orrin Augustus Gardner 1867 - 1944
............................. 4 Frank Henry Gardner 1869 -
............................. 4 William Wilson Gardner 1875 -
............................. 4 Mabel Gardner 1876 - 1876
................... 3 Ann Frances Mason 1835 -
....................... +William Bradford Morse

Cousin Orrin's aunt was married to William Bradford Morse.

Susanna Vinnicum's sister is supposedly Sarah L. Vinnicum who married Captain Joseph Morse. Sarah and Joseph were Lizzies great grandparents. I think that would make Lizzie and Emma 2nd cousins once removed to Orrin (but I won't swear to that). However, I have no real source for the sistership except an email from a Morse genealogy forum.

Preston Gardner is 1st cousin to Orrin, but Preston's cousinship to Lizzie and Emma is not obvious to me at this time.

Enjoy!

Without attempting to verify Cynthia's tree at this late date, (when we can, we do that for each other) I was looking for a pertinent topic to post the Swansea Riverby family info gathered from the site swanseamass.org. Please excuse...
....also, plz excuse news item has no citation.

The article retrieved from the site will be posted in 2 parts as pictures.

The background, researched from various sources=
Caroline’s sister, Ann Frances Mason (b.1835), married William Bradford Morse (b.1829) and lived in Excelsior, Minnesota. They raised six children, who were all first cousins to Emma and Lizzie Borden (through the father William, who was Sarah Borden’s and John Vinnicum Morse’s brother). Two of these children, Annie and William Morse, were visiting the area of Fall River, and Weybosset St. the summer of 1892. Anne and Caroline had a brother, William Mason, whose daughter, Lydia had married Dan Emery and lived on Weybosset St., where JVM visited the morning of August 4th, 1892.

Also, when I see that Caroline and Henry's son, Frank H. Gardner, is a pastor in Cape Neddick, Maine, I think he was possibly the source for Emma moving to Newmarket, New Hampshire to board, as Rev. Frank is about 15 miles from Portsmouth, which is only about 12 miles from Newmarket, according to my atlas. Orrin Gardner used to visit his brother Frank and also made visits to Emma as well.

The lineage down the middle, you can see, was my interest, but included brothers and sisters extended families sideways.
