Brett Gardner is an American professional baseball player. He is an outfielder in Major League Baseball.
Brett is the son of Faye and Jerry Gardner. He is married to Jessica, with whom he has two children.
Brett’s paternal grandfather was William Mack “Bill” Gardner (the son of Joseph William Gardner and Lula Overby). Brett’s grandfather William was born in North Carolina. Lula was the daughter of Mack Overby and Julia Frances Williams.
Brett’s paternal grandmother was Mae Gasque (the daughter of Edward Clark Gasque and Mae Vora Gumm). Brett’s grandmother Mae was born in South Carolina. Edward was the son of Alfred Clark Gasque and Elizabeth Lorena Avant. Brett’s great-grandmother Mae was the daughter of Lee Gum and Emma Allen.
Brett’s maternal grandfather was James Marion Russell, Jr. (the son of James Marion Russell, Sr. and Christel Preetorious). Brett’s grandfather James was born in South Carolina. Brett’s great-grandfather James was the son of John Thomas Russell and Harriet Elizabeth Wiggins. Christel was the daughter of Jacob Charles Preetorius and Emma Warnock.
Brett’s maternal grandmother is Vernon Breland (the daughter of Jacob Murray Breland and Mary Welch). Vernon was born in South Carolina. Jacob was the son of Julius Augustus Breland and Bettie A. Murray. Mary had Irish ancestry, and was the daughter of Joseph Smith Welch and Mary Jane Cusack.
He also has some German through Preetorious and Breland lines. Also Scottish from multiple lines. Gasque is French, but it’s pretty distant.
Brett’s mother is not Carolyn Faye Shifflett, but Dorothy Faye Russell. I’m afraid the paternal grandparents listed aren’t correct either.
