Jennie, Here is what I have learned. This second entry in the Huxford source has some "typos". It is actually the 1880 census record of Berry Hampton Tanner and his second wife, Hester Ward. The census taker did not complete the bottom loop on the "B", and also incorrectly recorded the "P/B" out of order. That would correctly explain every thing about the entry. Berry Hampton Tanner, "Sen" (Sr.) would have correctly been 67 in 1880. He died the following year. I'd like to see that actual entry. If "all rest born GA", then that proves that John Tanner was born in Georgia. Right?
