He was born on, or around October 8, 1814 in Kilsyth, Scotland. Archibald, brother Robert, sister Mary and their mother emigrated to eastern Ontario, Canada (near to Port Dalhousie) in 1822, two years after their father and brother William. At 17, Archibald built his first mill by following the direction of his father. Six years later Archibald went on his own, moving to southwestern Ontario. In Alvinston, Ontario he built a gristmill in 1837 on the east end of the sixth concession of Brooke township. As was common to the technology of the period, Archibald Gardner's gristmills were "built without nails. Wooden pins and mortises were used instead. All shafts, bearings, cog wheels, etc. were of wood..."[1] The gristmill area was on a hill that faces Alvinston. The area was called Gardner's Mill for several years. Archibald also built a saw mill in this area to produce shingles. Under business pressure, mostly based on his joining the LDS Church, Gardner sold his Alvinston area mills at a reduced price. Archibald left Canada in 1846 for the United States, documenting a miracle escape across a ice flow filled river, to meet up with Brigham Young.[2] is the 281st day of the year (282nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Mormon pioneer In 1845, while living in Brooke, Kent, Western District, Canada (near Sarnia, Ontario), later named Alvinston, Gardner followed the example of four family members, his mother, sister and two brothers, and joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. His father did not join until 1855. The family and others, 100 wagons total, left Canada, meeting Archibald in Joliet, Illinois. The Canadian group tried to meet up with Brigham Young in Nauvoo, Illinois. The group stayed in Nauuvoo two weeks, and then caught up with the Mormon Exodus in Winter Quarters. In 1859 Gardner became a LDS Bishop of a local ward of about 600 members, a position that he held for 32 years.

Life in the West Arriving in Utah in 1847, Gardner first built a mill near Warm Springs. In 1848 he moved the mill to a site on Mill Creek where the water flow was greater, in time for the fall harvest. There he claimed to have sawed the first lumber in the Salt Lake Valley.[1] This mill was sold to Brigham Young for $6,000. In total Archibald built 23 mills in Utah, with several of the mills selling its products to federal groups, especially military forts, thereby gaining much needed cash and hard to obtain goods. Archibald also built miles of canals, tunnels and bridges. His Utah canals, tunnels and bridges were reimbursed by the territorial legislature, with the canals' water irrigating farm land, and fulfilling other purposes.
He also was a miner and land developer, partnering and selling several mining properties. The largest was a site in Bingham Canyon, south of West Jordan, Utah, that was found in 1863 while logging with a partner. [3] For several years Archibald was county recorder, recording mining claims and other deeds in the Bingham Canyon area. From 1878-1882 Gardner served in the Utah Territorial Legislature. Due to his unsettled polygamist status,after 1884 Archibald moved to Mexico and other places, ending up in Afton, Wyoming in 1889, living there with two wives. When Althea, his fifth wife, died in Afton in 1896, Archibald buried her in Salt Lake City, with Archibald staying on in Utah until his death on February 8, 1902.
