Until 1856 all records refer to him that way. In 1854 he had lost both his first wife and his infant daughter within two days of one another. All records referring to him after 1856 render his name as "Gardner Martin Edson" or "Gardner M. Edson." Kansas and Missouri newspaper stories about him refer to him as "G.M. Edson."
