Wayne, Here is what I have on John Banner. Most of what appears on our page was contributed by Judy Cardwell who is an expert on this Banner family. In 1751 Henry Banner and his wife, Eleanor, and their son Joseph are mentioned - "Joseph Banner of Stokes County was born in 1749 in Pennsylvania and moved to North Carolina in 1751. Henry Banner settled in what was then called Anson County, now Stokes, on Town Fork, near the present village of Germantown." Henry applied for two grants from Lord Granville on March 3, 1752, one for 640 acres (on Buffalo Creek) and another for 640 acres (Dorethea Creek, now called Muddy Creek). These two grants are in the name of Henry Bonner. Children of Henry Banner (1727-1789) and Eleanor Martin (c1730-c1789) Joseph Banner Sr. (1749-1838) m. Sarah McAnally (1755-1843) d/o Capt.
