• Notes

  Nonconformist Register: Denomination      Walloon Or French Protestant Father Jean Gardien; Mother Marie Bouilly. Judith was born 10 May 1725 at Spitfields, London, England - a largely Huguenot center at the time, indicating that her family were among the 50,000+ French Huguenots escaping persecution in Europe by crossing the English Channel and taking refuge in London. Judith had 4 siblings with Judith being the youngest. They were: Marie (1717), Jean (1719), Rachel (1721), Paul (1722), Immigration At what point the family immigrated to the colonies is not yet clear but In 1700 several hundred French Huguenots migrated from England to the colony of Virginia, where the English Crown had promised them land grants in Lower Norfolk County. When they arrived, colonial authorities offered them instead land 20 miles above the falls of the James River, at the abandoned Monacan village known as Manakin Town, now in Goochland County. [3] So at some point after Judith was born in 1725, the Gardien family took leave of London for the colonies. Marriage Judith married Abraham Poore 19 April 1751. The Poores were thick around Goochland County and sources certainly indicate that Judith and Abraham raised their family there.. (see Abraham Poore) Note: there was confusion between 2 persons both named Judith 'Gardner'. One was married to John Arthur, and did not live in Virginia. Judith Gardner, born 31 Mar 1735 to Ebenezer Gardner and Judith Coffin, was the wife of John Arthur, son of Thomas Arthur and Mary Edmonds, and of Benjamin Coleman, son of Benjamin Coleman and Huldah Swett. The other was married to Abraham Poore and raised children in Goochland Co, Van. Death Judith died in 1822 in Goochland, Virginia. Sources Barney Genealogical Record.
