Excerpt from William Tanner of North Kingstown, Rhode Island, and His DescendantsIt is said that the Tanner name in England dates from the time of William the Conqueror.The name appears in history in the time of Edward the Third (1312 Their estates lay in the county of Corn wall, and later, the name appears in other parts of England, Wales and Ireland. At this date it is difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain to what branch of the Tanners in England the American Tanners belong. It is the Opinion of the writer that they are English, and that the Tanners of Ireland and Wales are also of English origin. There are many Tanners in America from Switzerland. But it may be that these are also of English ancestry, having left England, as did many others, on account of religious and political troubles. One, at least, of the Tanners in the New York regiments in the Revolution was of Dutch or German ancestry. Amid this uncertainty, the only claim which will be made here is, that the Tanners are an old and respectable English family, with here and there an honored name, among which is that of Bishop Thomas Tanner, of the Diocese of St. David's in Wales, archeologist and writer, whose contributions are to be found in the Bod 1eian library at Oxford, England.Among the early emigrants to Virginia, we find Daniel Tanner, aged forty, who came over in the ship Sampson. In 1618, Josias Tanner, aged twenty-four, arrived, and in 1678, Elizabeth, daughter of Mary Tanner, also came to the colony.In Deed Book D, page 7 8, william and John Tanner, in 1686, made a conveyance of land in Philadelphia, Pa., to one Daniel Clark. William Tanner removed from what was known as the Welsh Tract in Pennsylvania, and settled in Dutchess county, N. Y. Where, at one time, his descendants were quite numerous.In 1725, Benjamin and John Tanner, of London, came over and settled at Jamaica, L. I. Some of their descendants are now in New York City and Philadelphia. Among these we find Benjamin Tanner, engraver, artist, etc., Philadelphia, Abraham Tanner, of New York city, shipping merchant.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
