"Life History of Mrs. Rosa Coyne:
"Death on June 9, 1943 of Rosa Coyne, widow of the late Michael J.Coyne of Worthen Township, brought blessed relief from many years ofsuffering and marked the close of a long and useful life for one ofHanson County's earliest pioneeers.
"Rosa, daughter of Joseph and Anna Freidel, was born January 28, 1861,in Seibersdorf, Bohemia, and died June 9, 1943 at Sacred Heart Hospitalin Yankton, SD, aged 82 years, 4 mos, 11 days, interment being made June11, 1943 in the Catholic Cemetery at Ethan SD, from the home of her son,Leo C. Coyne, of that place.
"In 1866, the family, consisting of parents, two sons and twodaughters, emigrated to America and settled on a farm near Waterloo,Wisconsin, from whence, after six years of residence and lured by promiseof free homes on prairie lands farther west, the family arrived atYankton, SD, on November 17, 1872, and residence soon thereafter was madeon a homestead near Lesterville, SD. It was here that Rosa matured toyoung womanhood amid stern and character-building pioneer times andevents and here in 1882 she was united in marrige to Michael J. Coyne andto this union seven children were born, all of whom survive her with theexception of a daughter who died in infancy.
"In the spring of 1883, the young couple established themselves ontheir own homestead in Worthern T/S in Hanson County, where, by hardlabor, persistence and thrift, they acquired adjoining lands, knittingthemselves and their children to the substantial and progressivecommunity structure of their day until in 1919 they retired from activefarm life and took up residence in Ethan, SD.
"Here relief from the arduous existence of earlier years and enjoymentof the fruits of their labors was short-lived for in October, 1926, herhusband passed away and the widow thereafter lived alone in the Ethanhome until 1935 when, her health failing, she spent intermittent periodsduring the next two years with families of her children and in thehospital at Parkston.
"In 1937 she became a patient at Sacred Heart Hospital at Yankton,where after six years of resignation to the inevitable, she departed thislife fortified with the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church to whichshe had always so faithfully subscribed. All of ther children werepresent at her bedside and funeral with the exception of Robert E. Coynewho was unable to arrive from California in the short time permitted.
"She leaves to mourn her passing five sons and one daughter, namely:Robert E. Coyne, Albany, California; Charles T. Coyne, Emery, SD; Mrs.Anna Clarke, Chicago, Ill; William J. Coyne, Mitchell, SD; Major EdmundP. Coyne, Sioux Falls, SD; and Leo C. Coyne, of Ethan. She also leavesseventeen grandchildren, eighteen great-grandchildren, one sister, Mrs.Joseph Simon, and a brother, Albert S. Freidel, of Lesterville, SD; and abrother Charles Freidel of Ethan......"

"Ann Gardiner, born 1776 in Prince George's County, Maryland; died 2September, 1870 in Louisville Kentucky. She married 16 July, 1798, inMattawoman Church, Townshend, Maryland, Edward Jenkins, son of JohnJenkins and Elizabeth Luckett. Ann Gardiner did not have a very easylife. After settling in Kentucky under conditions much more demandingthan her
comfortable life in Prince George's County, Maryland, she raised a largefamily without the help of her husband who died when the youngest wasonly one year old. But family ties and support were never lacking inthose days, which enabled them to endure whatever life dished out tothem. In spite of her early hardships in life, she lived to be 94!"
See notes of her husband, Edward for quotes from "Thomas Jenkins ofMaryland, 1670."
(Again I find that Thomas Richard Gardiner is inaccurate, in this caseregarding the place of the marriage of Ann Nancy Gardiner and EdwardJenkins. Several independant sources place the site of this marriageincluding the Marriage Records of Nelson County and Father Jenkins book,Thomas Jenkins of Maryland, 1670. They were married by a priest inBardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky, not the Mattawoman Church inMaryland.)

HISTORY OF ST. MARY'S COUNTY, MARYLAND BY REGINA HAMMETT; FHL 975.241H2hrc pg. 92 and 93 relates a story concerning migration from Marylandto Kentucky and describes a group led by Clement Gardiner and HenriettaBoone Gardiner "(purported to be a descendant of Daniel Boone)" [seebelow**] to the Cox Creek Settlement, later called Fairfield. Includedare the names of thirty-seven of the men who accompanied the Gardinerstogether with their families.

See also GARDINER GENERATIONS AND RELATIONS Vol. 1, by Thomas Richa rdGardiner, 1991; pg 54:
"Clement Gardiner, born 1742 in Indian Fields, Townshend, Maryland ;died 6 Nov 1817 in Fairfield, Nelson County, KY. He married 1769 inPrince Georges County, MD to Henrietta Boone. Clement Gardiner, son ofIgnatius Gardiner and Ann Edelen, was a Private No. 1168 in John Thomas'Company of the Twelfth Batallion of the Charles County Militia, duringthe War of Independence. He was living just over the county line inPrince Georges County at the time of his enlistment and perhaps was morefamiliar with the members of the Charles County Militia.
In his will dated 15 Oct 1817, he named all of his children by name,except son Henry, who had died in the Trappist Monastery some ten yearsbefore. He also names his daughters by their married name and also namedhis wife, Henrietta, his eldest son Joseph, who had predeceased him. TheFederal Census of 1790 shows Clement and his family living in PrinceGeorges County, Maryland.
By 1792, Clement Gardiner and his wife Henrietta traversed theApplachian Mountains and barged their way down the Ohio River, with theirfamily, and worked their was to make settlement at Cox's Creek along withmore than twenty families made up of friends, and relatives . The exactroute of migration has never been determined but accounts rendered byletters to families remaining in Maryland described their hardshipscrossing the mountains as well as barging down the Ohio River.
Sister Mary Louise Donnelly in her book, CRAYCROFTS OF MARYLAND ANDKENTUCKY KIN states that as early as 1792, St. Michael's parish had itsstart in a spacious room in the home of Clement Gardiner, in Fairfield,KY.
It appears that some of the oldest daughters made their way back toMaryland and married during the mid-nineties, or else they remained inMaryland to choose their husbands before making their decision to joinClement and Henrietta in Kentucky.
THE CENTENARY OF CATHOLICITY IN KENTUCKY by Webb describes Clement andHenrietta's devotion toward establishing the Catholic Church in theircommunity. Clement donated five acres of land in what is now the town ofFairfield where the beautiful brick church of St. Michael's now stands,to Bishop Flaget and Henrietta donated 300 acres to the Sisters ofLoretto, on which to establish a school for girls. Their son Harry,became a Trappist Monk but died within a year of his final acceptanceinto the Order."

It is speculation that Henry Gardiner is a son of Ann Edelen Gardin er

that Ignatius married Ann Boarman and Henry Married Catherine Boarman ,her

(Citing The Maryland Semmes and Kindred Families, by HarryWright Newman, published by the Maryland Historical Society, 1956.)" Butsee Descendants of Wyllyam Gardynyr by Thomas Richard Gardiner, below.Because of doubts expressed by Thomas Richard Gardiner in reaching hisconclusion that Ignatius married Anne Edelen, and since both Jenkins andNewman believe his wife was Ann Boarman, I am inclined to accept thelatter conclusion. However, the World Family Tree by Family Tree Maker,Vol 1, files 3282 & 3052 show Anne Edelen the spouse of IgnatiusGardiner. She was born Sept 2, 1710 and died Feb 21, 1778. It indicatesthat they were married before 1742. She was the daughter of ChristopherEdelen (1683-1771) and Jane Jones (1690-1770).
There is mention of Clement Gardiner in THE BOONE FAMILY, descendants ofGeorge and Mary Boone who came to America in 1717, compiled by HazelAterbury Spraker, pub. Genealogical Publishing Co.

"Ignatius Gardiner born 1701/1711 in Warburton Manor, Piscataway ,Maryland; died 1777 in Carnavon, Bryantown, Charles County, Maryland. Hemarried in 1730, in Piscataway, Princes Georges County, Maryland, AnneEdelen, daughter of Christopher Edelen and of Jane Jones. There seems tobe no document to prove the mother of Ignatius Gardiner or the date ofhis birth. I have named Anne Craycroft as the probable mother but thereis a strong possibility that Luke Gardiner's first wife, Ann Pile, couldbe the mother of Ignatius. Ignatius Gardiner's wife is believed to beAnn Edelen, daughter of Jane Jones and Christopher Edelen; the mainsource of doubt lies with the will of Ignatius Gardiner (1777) beingrecorded under the name of Garner instead of Gardiner, as well as otherdocuments of that period... Sometime prior to his death, Luke Gardinerpaid to William and Martha Farthing , Innholders of St. Marys City,eighty pounds Sterling, in hand to bind the conveyance of a tract of 790acres of land in Charles County to his son, Ignatius Gardiner when hebecame of age, or to his Guardian to be held in abeyance for his use.
"It is my guess that this tract was later named FarthingsPennyworth, to remind them that it was "worth every penny", or in otherwords, a very good deal. This tract, located next to Carnavon, wasundeveloped and rather than pay taxes on it until Ignatius became of age,they may have conveyed it before Ignatius actually became of age, as arecord dated 5 Jun 1722 seems to have completed the transaction.
"The following children of Ignatius and Ann, inherited parts ofFarthings Pennyworth from the estate of Ignatius: Clement 180 acres,John 180 acres, Richard 180 acres and Ignatius 320 acres.
"Luke Gardiner, a few months before he died, arranged with BenjaminWheeler of Baltimore County to have a tract of 537 acres, by warrant , tobe set aside for his sons, Ignatius and Richard, known as "Father'sRequest." This tract was held by them until 1742 when it was conveyed toJohn Lyon for 143-5 lbs. Sterling.
"Ignatius and Ann appeared to have remained in Prince Georges Countyuntil the late 1740's on a tract called Indian Fields just across theMattawoman Swamp from the intersection of Acton Lane and Route 301 about1.5 miles north of Waldorf, Maryland. This land was more recently ownedby Gwynn Gardiner, a direct descendant of Ignatius and Ann.
