• The Gardiners of Narrangansett page 11 and 12 shows Benjamin and Hannah Mowry, of Kingstown as parents of Amey who Stephen Gardiner married in 1700. Also notes that a list of children was from an old paper, evidently the return of the administrator of his estate, and is recorded in Norwich Connecticut. Also that there is no record of the birth of his children in South Kingstown, possibly from the fact that the records of the Friends were lost when their meeting house was burned in 1742.
