John GARD Came to Wood County, West Virginia. He and three of his sons came to Washington County, Ohio. Two of these had large families, most of whom "went West" (Nellie is going to write a history about the descendants of John GARD).

Information from Nellie A GARD 5/15/73:

The family record says that John GARD, who bought land six miles south of

Marietta and the Ohio River was a brother of Cornelius. Three sons of John

GARD were in Washington County, Ohio, two of them with large families.

Descendants of Alexander GARD knew they were related to descendants of

Cornelius.

In Nellie A GARD's "DUNSMOOR/GAGE" page 143 she speaks of Robert Gard son of

Nathan Gard whose GRANDFATHER was John Gard, a Revolutionary War soldier from

New Jersey who bought land in Wood County VA (now West VA) about six miles

south of the Ohio River and Marietta, Ohio, in 1800. John GARD was a brother

of Cornelius GARD who came to Washington Co., Ohio in 1802. Both John and

Cornelius came to the Ohio River Valley from Hampshire County, VA but were born in Morris County, New Jersey, sons of Jeremiah GARD.
