Nicholas Gardiner and Hannah Palmer - daughters

I have only one daughter (and that is rather doubtful)listed for Nicholas and Hannah. Her name was Sarah, and according to what I have she married Edmund Sheffield. Some of the names on your list show up in my files as daughters of William Gardiner and Susannah Wilkinson. I believe my info on Nicholas and Hannah comes primarily from Gardner History and Genealogy. I am sure some may also be from Caroline Robinson Gardiner's book, but I have never seen the list of daughters you have anywhere else.
I am descended from Nicholas and Hannah via their son George and his marriage to Susannah Hazard.
I only show a son born to Sarah and Edmund. If my info is correct, you will not find a matrilineal line from anyone back to Hannah.
This is what I have in my notes, taken (I think) from Gardner History and Genealogy:
NICHOLAS GARDNER (2).
George (1).
Nicholas, son of George and Herodias (Hicks) Gardner, was born about 1654; died probably in the year 1712 as the town council of Kingstown in that year granted letters of administration on his estate to his son Nicholas Gardner, Jr. In the year 1714, Nicholas Gardner appeared before the town council and asked not to be required to make account until the next council, and informs the said council that as his father had died intestate, he was with information in relation to the estate, and that he believed that his father in his life time intended that his estate should be divided between himself and his two brothers, and, that he proposed that his brother George should have one thousand acres of land, and his brother Exekiel, the farm on the Great Plain. I, therefore, conclude he had three sons. His wife was Hannah.
Children:
Nicholas,
George,
Ezekiel.
1671, May 19, Nicholas Gardner took oath of allegiance, the same year he bought land of John Porter.
1673, Nov. 2, he bought of John and Herodias Porter, 100 acres of land.
1679, July 29, he signed the petition to the King.
1701, Mar. 26, he and wife Hannah for 48 Pounds, sold John Thomas, of Jamestown, certain lands in Kings Town.
1711, Mar. 12, he testified as to certain lands calling age fifty seven years or thereabouts.
I will poke around some of my books and see if there's any other info on this family that I could have missed. I do think the list of children for William and Susannah probably came from Hazard's book.
