Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gardiner Manor: Address Delivered at the Third Annual Meeting of the New York Branch of the Order of Colonial Lords of Manors in America, Held in the City of New York, April 24, 1915
State of New York. Lion Gardiner died at East Hampton, L. I., in 1663. His son, David, was sent to England to be educated and there married Mary Lerringham at St. Margaret's Church, Westminster Abbey. David was the first white child born in the State of Connecticut. After David, came John, and the island alternated, from David to John for eight generations. Lord John, 3rd, born April 1661 has on his tomb in New Lon don, Conn., His Excellency, John Gardiner, Lord of the Isle of Wight, surmounted by the arms of the family. It was during his life, 1699, that Captain Kidd landed upon the island, and buried a large chest Of treasure. Fearing the act had been discovered, Kidd went to the proprietor, and told him what he had done; he knew his presence was a threat, in this isolated abode, and demanded refreshment for himself, and his vicious looking crew. Among the things provided was a roast pig. Kidd was so pleased with his repast that he took courteous leave of his host, and hostess, and upon so doing, presented Mrs. Gardiner with a cloth of gold of exquisite beauty, which has been carefully preserved, and handed along from generation to generation. Not quite satisfied with having placed himself in the position of a beggar before a gentleman and his family, Kidd is said to have left a costly diamond in the well bucket, where he pretended to drink, just before quit ting the island. The diamond was found, whether in the well bucket, or elsewhere, and has ever since been treasured by the members of the Gardiner family.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the fascinating story of Lion Gardiner, an English military engineer who played a vital role in the early development of America. The book takes us back to the 17th century, a time of great exploration and colonial expansion, and places Gardiner's life within the context of the founding of New England and the conflict with Native American tribes. The author weaves together historical accounts with personal anecdotes to paint a vivid picture of Gardiner's life, from his early career in the English Army to his crucial role in building forts and establishing settlements in the New World. We encounter a man who was not only a skilled engineer but also a capable leader, a devoted husband, and a devoted father. Through the lens of Gardiner's life, the book explores themes of frontier life, the challenges of establishing a new society, and the evolving relationship between the colonists and the native inhabitants of the land. It examines the legacy of Gardiner's family, their ownership of Gardiners Island, and the island's role as a haven for both settlers and those who sought refuge from the law. Ultimately, this book offers a window into a pivotal period of American history, revealing the individuals, the struggles, and the triumphs that shaped the nation's early development.
