In August, 1832, a company of about 600 persons headed by Col. Thomas LeFlore assemble d at a place near what is now the City of Paulding, Jasper County, Mississippi, to begin a jo urney of about 800 miles to their future home in a new country west of the Territory of Arkan sas. It was an unusual exodus. All the inhabitants of the surrounding country were gathered t ogether preparatory to the journey--men, women, and children of every age and every degree o f social standing. Following the edict of the general government, they were to leave the coun try forever. Naturally their hearts were sad, and they set out with much weeping and sorrow , sustained only by such comfort as came from the prospect of their future home. Some years p rior to this departure the people of the country had become divided into two factions-
-Christians and anti-Christians. Naturallly assembling the two elements formed themselves int o divisions, being drawn together by ties of kinship, friendship, and beliefs. This particula r company was called a “Christian company” because they favored Christianity. They traveled o nly on week days, announcing the hour of their daily devotion by blowing a large horn, whil e the Sabbath was a day of rest and of holding religious services. They traveled by ox wagons , horse wagons, horseback, and about two-thirds walked. The wagons were chiefly used for carr ying the necessities for the journey. Many were thinly clad and had no shoes, and as they jou rneyed westward, cold weather came on and they
suffered greatly from the cold. About 30 died from exposure and were buried along the roadsid e near where they died. The roads were new and the many wagons made them almost impassable. W hile they were favored with reasonably fair weather, the suffering was great. especially amon g the feeble and children. Several babies were born during the journey. Passing through Jacks on and crossing the Mississippi at Vicksburg, they followed a northwest course up Red River . and about the first day of December came to a permanent stop about 40 miles across the boun dary in the new country. They selected building places and set up a very populous settlement . On the 9th of December. under the leadership of Rev. Alfred Wright. a noted missionary, the y organized a church and established a school, naming the place Wheelock.
At the time of the removal from Mississippi to Indian Territory in 1832, the five brothers, I saac, Jerry, James, Noel and Edmond Gardner, were boys and young men, not more than one of th em being married at the time. Their parents had died some years before in Mississippi. Thes e five were all there were at that time of the Gardner name that were Indian by blood. All th e Gardners except Noel later moved further west.
Noel Gardner married Henrietta LeFlore, daughter of Col. Thomas LeFlore. He settled a mile an d a half west of Wheelock, cleared up a farm, engaged in farming and stock raising, and was a lso a minister of the Gospel, assisting in the church and school work at Wheelock as interpre ter and native preacher. His possessions consisted of a small farm, cattle, horses, sheep, ho gs, and a small herd of deer. He died at his home about the year 1860, leaving a widow and th ree sons, Jefferson, Jerry, and James.
Jefferson moved to Eagletown in 1 863 and engaged in merchandising, becoming prosperous an d a man of prominence, serving his people in several official capacities, and subsequently be coming governor of the Nation. His death occurred in 1906.
James was for several years in the merchandise business at Wheelock, but in 1883 moved his bu siness to Bonton on the Red River. He married Miss Ida Lick, and lived on Red River until hi s death in 1887.
Jerry Gardner married first Rebecca Wilson, who he divorced, and then married Jinny James, da ughter of William James. He remained on the old homestead. Able to speak the English languag e very limitedly, he realized the importance of learning it, and he and his wife entered int o an agreement when they were married not to speak their native tongue in their home except w hen absolutely necessary. He did this in order to learn the language, and after he had acquir ed a fluency in it the habit was so strong that he and his wife continued through their marri ed life to speak it and their children never learned the native tongue.
In 1882, Jerry bought a small farm on Red River near Bonton, and set up in farming and stoc k raising. He prospered, accumulated considerable property about him, cleared up a good farm , and in 1886 became sheriff of his county.
In 1887 his family was visited with an unusual amount of sickness, resulting in the death o f two of his two children. In 1888 the full bloods of Towson and Boktuklo counties armed them selves in bands and threatened extermination of the mixed bloods, who were outnumbered severa l to one. Consequently, the mixed bloods fled to Texas .on short notice to save their lives , leaving their families and possessions. Jerry Gardner remained in Texas about six months, v isiting his family only a few times, and then only at night.
During the civil war between the full bloods and the mixed bloods several were killed, includ ing the agitators, before peace was restored. During this time Jerry Gardner incurred conside rable material loss. In 1889 he lost his wife, and after that he showed little interest in an ything and his misfortunes preyed heavily upon his mind. In 1892 he married Mrs. Ida (Lick) G ardner, his brother’s widow. However, he was never himself again, and he continued to declin e in attitude toward life and his material prosperity until his death in 1898. At that time h e had a daughter living by his first marriage, Mrs. Susan Parsons of Millerton. By the secon d marriage there were two sons and a daughter, Alfred T., Edmond, J., and Carrie. Alfred T. m arried Mattie Bartee and settled on a farm on Red River. Edmond J. married Laura James, and e ventually settled in the city of Valliant. Carrie became the wife of George Tyler, a farmer a nd stock man, and settled at Wheelock.
Alfred and Mattie Gardner were my grandmother’s parents. Grandma is buried, along with severa l family members, at the cemetery next to the old church at Wheelock.
