Ran across this searching for what I can’t remember by now!
John Tanner caught my eye..his adventures.
Lots of info here.

I Have a book, that tells the story of John Tanner. It is called “The Falcon” . I am a descendent of his brother, Edward Tanner.It is a great book

Cheekis,
I am a direct descendant of Eleanor Tanner Daughter of Josiah Tanner..son of Matthew Tanner.
My ggg grandmother is Eleanor Tanner. I don’t know if there is any connection here at all. But this got me searching the Tanner lines which I have’nt done much until now.
I thought it was odd to have Pocohontas and Powhatan Tanner in this line. Powhatan shows up more than once. Interesting.

Cheekis,
Joseph Tanner and Mary Brown (or Jones) had son Joseph born 1662 and Edward born circa 1664. I descend from Joseph and you from Edward..brothers..Edward and Mary Hatcher..sons Edward, John and Joseph..John has John II and John has John III brother to Edward? Is that right? John II a baptist preacher and John III lived with Indians 30 years? If that’s right, we descend from the same colonial Joseph. Wow!

Saj, You are right. It can get kind of confusing, because they named the children all the same, from one generation to the next. We are both descendants of Joseph and Mary.
Here is the site with my line on it, it has a lot of names of people who lived in Virginia and other places. http://www.wvpioneers.com/index.php

cheekis,
that is a good website..I see your line..mine isn’t really followed down to by GGG grandma.
But another site I found links Josiah, father of Eleanor to Lewis who married a servant of his brother. It is very confusing..
and interesting..see the genealogy section of the colonial va families..there are so many families there, if you go to the index at top and find the surname. but you Tanner line is there too. I see tons of familiar names in this database..
