      1705, his father deeded land to son Stephen with house thereon in
      Kingstown.

      1731 Stephen deeded the same land to his uncle, John Watson, for 2,300 pounds, signed as Stephen Gardiner of South Kingstown. (The town was divided into North and South Kingstown in 1722.) This homestead farm was possibly on or near Tower Hill.

      1736. A number of deeds of this date are recorded in Norwich, Conn., relating to the purchase of land in Colchester by Stephen Gardner, of South Kingstown. In Colchester other deeds are found dated 1733. Signed by Stephen Gardner of Norwich. From this time till 1742 he appears in the records as buying land in Colchester and Bozrah and Montville around Gardiner's lake.

      Coggeshall history of Montville says "Stephen Gardiner married, 1700. Amy Sherman, daughter of Benjamin and Hannah (Mowry) Sherman, of Kingstown, Rhode Island. Settled in New London County, Connecticut. He bought the Great Pond afterwards called Gardiner's Lake. The following inscription on his tombstone at Gardiner's Lake as deciphered a few years ago by Mr. James Arnold of Providence, Rhode Island.

      "Here lyes ye body of Stephen
      Gardiner, who died February ye
      9, 1743 and in ye 76 year of his age."
