Notes about Mary UNKNOWN

== Biography ==This profile represents the wife of Benoni Gardiner. Her maiden name is not yet known. She was NOT [[Eldred-87|Mary Eldred]].Miller, Clara Gardner. ''[[Space:Gardiner-Gardner Genealogy|Gardiner-Gardner Genealogy]]'' (Tuttle Publishing Co., Inc., Rutland, Vt., 1937)::* [https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89066147604&view=1up&seq=45 Page 33]: see footnote: "It has been asserted that the wife of Benoni Gardiner was [[Eldred-87|Mary Eldred]], daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth, early immigrants to New England, but recent research by an Eldred genealogist reveals the fact that [[Eldred-87|Mary Eldred]] was born in 1646 and died in 1712, years before the death of Benoni's wife. The claim is also made, with no proof worthy of acceptance, that she was Mary, daughter of Philip Sherman of Rhode Island. Still other claims are made that she was a Mary Dyer; and also that Benoni was twice married, both wives bearing the name Mary. The only conclusion to be made is that we do not know who Mary, wife of Benoni Gardiner was."
