Book Description
The time of the decease of Mrs. Robinson, July 7, her ''Genealogy of the Gardiner Family," comprising the labor of years, had been substantially completed. Without doubt, however, had her life been prolonged, she would, from- time to time, through further research and by means of opportune discoveries, have made valuable additions to the work. fl Nor can it be questioned that she regarded the result of her patient toil rather as an honest contribution to a recognized intricate problem, to be farther elucidated by the study of others, than as a final and complete treatment of the subject. No one more readily than the Author herself would have acknowledged that there are in the book, from the very nature of the case, where information is largely gathered from unwritten family tradition, considerable matter of a tentative and even conjectural character, and probably a few assignments of individuals to groups, to be ultimately found inaccurate.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Gardiners of Narragansett: Being a Genealogy of the Descendants of George Gardiner, the Colonist, 1638 The Roxbury, Massachusetts, records give Thomas Gardner, born in England, died in Roxbury, November, His aged widow was buried October 7, 1658. His son, Thomas Gardiner, born in England, married in Roxbury, in 1641. Now these dates, curiously enough, answer perfectly to the supposition that George Gardiner of Newport may have been an elder son of Thomas of Roxbury.2 This supposition is somewhat supported, too, by the fact that Caleb Gardiner, a known grandson of Thomas, settled in Newport and died there, drawn thither, possibly, by the consideration that his relatives were already established in that place. Some time, not far from 1640, George Gardiner married Herodias (long) Hicks. She made the statement that she had been married to John Hicks, in London, without the knowledge of her friends, when between thirteen and fourteen years of age. Soon after coming to Rhode Island Hicks deserted her, going to New Amsterdam, or, as she expressed the Dutch, taking with him the most of the property left to her by her mother. Her marriage to George Gardiner was rather irregular in form, to say the least, con sisting in going before some friends and declaring themselves husband and wife.3 As she was a Quaker, and a fanatic at that, cheerfully walking from Newport to Boston, with a young child in her arms, to receive a whipping at the post for her beliefs, possibly she would not consent to be married after any established forms. Accord ing to her own account, George neglected her and would not provide for her numerous family. It may have been her pressing needs, and it may have been the superior attrae tions of John Porter, with his great wealth in lands (he being one of the original Petta quamscutt Purchasers) and his promises to provide for her children, that awakened her scruples about the legality of her marriage with George Gardiner. At any rate, she petitioned the General Assembly for a divorce, which was granted, thus proving the legality of her marriage.4 John Porter, having conveniently gotten a divorce from his wife, married Herodias and faithfully kept his promise, -giving large farms of several hundred acres to each of her sons, and possibly to her daughters, for the land of John Watson, who married two of her daughters, joined the Gardiner lands.
