Here is what I found on this surname: Dan Taverner, 1654 by Edward Welch, unknown Co. Giles Taverner, 1654, by Francis Gray, Unknown Co. Francis Taverne, 1642 by Wm. Durant, Unknown Co. There is also a few Taberer surnames listed if you want those?? Hope this helps. Just in case you missed my previous reply, The first name mentioned in every instance is the immigrant and the name following the word "by" is the patentee or party bringing him over. Hope this helps, Leslie
