I am researching Tanner from >(allegedly) NC, maybe SC, maybe VA. HA! I have b. abt. 1744, Duplin Co., >NC. But I don't see Duplin Co. at that time. I have Tanner children that >likely were born in KY, some NC (could have been SC).

For example - My ancestor was of NC (today TN) and sold land to a man in Lincoln Co Virginia....well I went crazy trying to find records till I realized that at the time the land transaction took place - Lincoln Co VA was in what is today Kentucky, and the land was just over the line between TN and KY - so my ancestor sold land not that far away from where I had him anyway. He was still in the Nashville TN area, he had not moved or gone to Virginia. Mary
