I am researching gunmen named Gardner.
I have found three Gardner men referred to as gunfighters.
My ancestor Lewis Gardner was referred to as a gunfighter in Texas and I am researching him. Another man named Gardner who was referred to as a gunfighter was Alexander Gardner, a mercenary in the Middle East. He was involved in several gunfights, finishing off many a foe on the frontier that we are fighting today.
I've also heard of a gunfighter named Zeb Gardner. I would love more information on all of these gunslingers named Gardner and would love to find more gunslingers named Gardner. I am especially looking for a notorious gunfighter with the surname Gardner.
I had found a Gardner gang of the Southwest who seem to be very hard to research, as well as a Gardner family in Western Missouri that were involved in shooting affrays.
I believe I had found a 'bad man' named Frank Gardner who had shot and killed Joe Montague in a shooting affray in 1902 at Mountain Home, Idaho.
I had found a gambler named Pliney Gardner who had shot a man in 1859 at California. He was mentioned in Wild West book. Another shootist I had found was named Joe Gardner, who shot a hot tempered man named Bill Garrison in a rifle fight on the Minnesota frontier in 1904, and that same year a cowboy named William Gardner shot two cowboys to death on the Wiggin Ranch for looking at his wife, he was chased by a posse.
I have also found a hard gunman named 'Lige' Gardner who terrorized Mexican laborers who were working the Southern Pacific Railroad at Echo, Texas.
I had found a gunfight in the 1870s which mentioned a public official named David Gardner who shot it out with a hot tempered man named "Buckskin Bill" Mooney in the middle of the street at Hollister, California. It was a famous gunfight of the time, and the two men drew their revolvers and Gardner shot "Buckskin Bill" and it was ruled self - defense.
I have found an amazing gunfight in which a man named T. A. Gardner was being shot at by a man with a rifle named Richard Holcomb. Gardner evaded the bullets and then raised his revolver and shot Holcomb through the head killing him instantly. That gunfight happened in 1892 at Nebraska and it was ruled self - defense.
I researching anyone who has ancestor named Gardner who was a gunfighter.
