Classification: Lookup
Surnames: Alley/Gardenhire
My mother-in-law's ancestors are said to have originated in Overton Co. Tennessee. Somewhere along the line the name Alley turned into Gardenhire.
Mike Gardenhire was born in 1792 (VA) and died in 1889 (KS). He is buried in Newberry(Alma), Wabaunsee, Kansas cemetery under the name of Mike Alley, which it is said is the original family name. We haven't determined how that name changed or when it took place.
He had a son Lebanon who was a Civil War Vet.
I would like to find out when, where and by whom the name change took place.
If there were slave owner issues involved.
If the name did originate in Tennessee or not.
Thank you for any help!
