William Wilkin Gardner, Jr.   born April 08, 1829 in Marion Co Mississippi, and died July 12, 1895 in Simpson Co Ms He married  1.)  Mary Ann Gardner, in 1869, Simpson Co Mississippi.  His first cousin, the daughter of German Howard Gardner & Emily 'Milly' Walker, she was born 1845 in Simpson Co Mississippi, and died March 14, 1888 in Simpson Co Mississippi.  He married 2.)  Sarah Catherine Randall, daughter of Jack Randall.  She was born February 1862 in Mississippi   Wilkin served first in the Westville Guards of the 16th Mississippi Regiment, organized September 18, 1860.    The West- ville Guards were the only Simpson County soldiers who fought at Gettysburg.  Since Wilkin was then in Co H, 27th Regt from Feb-June 1862,  it is  unlikely he  fought at  Gettysburg, however.    He was then  in  Co H,  6th  MS  Regiment, CSA, Private; discharged at Vicksburg in 1865.  The changes of regiments probably were  because he had a leg broken twice during war and  was  sent  home to  recuperate  each time.  (The information about the leg was found by  Sally Patterson while doing research in the Simpson County Courthouse.) 1870 Simpson Co Mississippi  Beat 3 Westville Enumerated June  1870 by G.W.
