As far as I know none of my Tanner relatives ended up in Texas. I have them pretty well covered present > 1750ish. Unless one of them snuck off from the rest of the clan....which is possible. There were some Gypsy Tanners as well as Mungeleon...all short, dark, and even red-headed. AS yet no one has been able to find a spouse for Saml. Tanner b. abt. 1744, Duplin (?) co., NC. There is an Indian in the mix somewhere...may be his wife or mother or father or??? Interesting, Saml. served in the Rev.War from North Hampton County, VA. (verified), then is in the 1790 Duplin Co., census. I have no idea why anyone thinks he was born in Duplin. Apparently the man got around!! Thanks for the "trail" information. I do need to make a chart showing the verified information that I have. Then maybe match up to the obvious trails. *paulette* in SunnyFlorida (but cloudy today) Tanner-Newton-Glover-Wilkens p.s. Does anyone have the URL for the PAF at Ancestry.com?? thnx
