Lion Gardiner was sent over by Lords Say and Seal and Lord Brook to construct a fort at the mouth of Connecticut river, to command it, &c. He was said to be a skilful en gineer, and on that account was selected. He had seen some service in the Low Countries under Gen. Fairfax. He came into this Country about the year 1633 or 1634 and erected the fort at Saybrook in Connecticut, which was so named in honour Of Lords Say and Seal and Lord Brook: but how long he contin ued to command the fort I do not recollect. He commanded it when Capt. John Mason conquered the Pequots, for Mason in his history, you recollect, says, ''he, Lt. Gardiner, compli mented or entertained him with many big guns,'' on his arrival at the fort after the conquest of the Pequots.
