To Our Friends and Patrons.
In 1897 the writer began to trace his own ancestral line
for the sake of those who should come after him. As he
proceeded, the circle widened until it included all the de-
scendants of William Tanner of South Kingstown, R. I., now
scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This has been a
labor of love, and has brought him into correspondence with
a large number of estimable people. These have courteously
given him the information in their possession, which he grate-
fully acknowledges.
While it would be impossible to make mention of all of
these, the writer desires to express his appreciation of the
value of the Manuscript Genealogy compiled by George
Thomas Tanner of his branch of this line, which his widow
kindly placed at his disposal, and to Dr. Herbert Battles
Tanner of Kaukauna, Wis., for encouragement and assistance
in this undertaking, and to Maj. C. D. Parkhurst, U. S. A.,
for his help in sundry ways. The writer has made free use
of the Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island, b}^ John
Osborne Austin, from which, however, he is obliged to differ
in some particulars. He also acknowledges his indebtedness
to the painstaking work of Mr. Arnold, in his Vital Records
of Rhode Island. The writer has made free use of the His-
torical Societies of Providence and Newport, and of the Town
Records of the several towns of Rhode Island, and also of the
counties of eastern New York, to each of which ho hereby
expresses his thanks for the courteous assistance afforded by
those in charge. He is also greatly indebted to Secretary
Upham and to Assistant Librarian Kingsbury of the Minne-
sota Historical Society, for their cheerful assistance in placing
at his disposal the sources of information in that rich histor-
ical and genealogical collection.
It would be too much to assume that every source of in-
formation has been exhausted, or that the conclusions drawn
4 THE TANNERS IN AMERICA.
are infallible. But the above will serve to show the extent
of the writer's researches, and the great care he has taken
to verify his results. Doubtless inaccuracies will be discov-
ered. But the results are left to a generous public as a con-
tribution to the genealogical history of one of the early
Colonial Families of Rhode Island.

The Tanners in America.
HISTORICAL.
It 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 (1312-1377). 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-
leian 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, EUzabeth, daughter of Mary Tanner, also came to the
colony.
In Deed Book C,2 D, page 78, 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;
6 THE TANNERS IN AMERICA,
Henry Schenck Tanner, geographer; John Tanner, M. D,,
L.L.D., writer in medicine; and Captain Charles B. Tanner,
and his brother, Captain John B. Tanner, of Washington, D.C.
[See "Our Little P'amily Record" by one of the members of
this line.]
To the line of Virginia Tanners belongs Governor John R.
Tanner, of Illinois. This is now an extensive branch of the
family, and to this southern line we may, in all probability,
refer John Tanner, whose captivity is related by Edwin James
in his " Narrative of Tanner's Captivity Among the Ojibways."
About 1780 or '90 a child was stolen by the Indians from a
Kentucky family by the name of Tanner, and carried to the
Hudson Bay country. He grew up there, married, and had
children. The parents asked the government to make inquiry
for him, and about 1820 Tanner was induced to come to Mack-
inaw. Here he was taught English and made use of as an
interpreter and blacksmith for several years. James' " Narra-
tive, " it is said, is not always reliable, and when Tanner had
it read to him he set out to kill Dr. James. But not finding
him, he killed Henry R.Schoolcraft, and took to the woods in
the dead of winter. Some bones were afterwards found by
the side of his gun on a trail in the Saskatchewan valley, and
it is supposed that he perished. His children lived in the
woods all their lives, and he himself could never be induced to
give up his wild life and return to his home in Kentucky.
The original of the following fac similes is in possession of
Dr. H. B. Tanner, of Kaukauna, Wis., whose wife's grand-
father. Col. Geo. Boyd, was United States Indian Agent at
Mackinaw from 1818 to 1832, and knew Tanner.
James Tanner, a son of John Tanner, was sent to Boston
in his boyhood, where he was educated under Unitarian in-
fluences. Afterwards he returned to Minnesota and came to
the Chippewa reservation about 1857 or '58. In the Indian
country he met Bishop Whipple, and connected himself with
the Episcopal church, and about 1860 resided at St. Cloud,
and died in Minnesota.
(See "Narrative of Tanner's Captivity Among the Ojibways,"
New Yorl<. 1830.)
To the line of William, who emigrated from the "Welsh
Tract" in Pennsylvania, to Dutchess county, N. Y., belongs
Col. Adolphus H. Tanner, soldier and congressman, late of
Washington county, N. Y.
In 1663, Nicholas Tanner, of Swansea, Wales, settled in
Swanzy, Mass., in that part now comprised in the town of Re-
hoboth. Nicholas Tanner was active in the NarragansettWar.

HISTORICAL. 7
For an account of his services the reader is referred to the records
of the colony of Plymouth, and to the colonial history of Rhode
Island. In his will, on record in the town of Rehoboth, he
names no Tanner heirs, and probably left no issue.
There are many other Tanners residing in the UnitedStates,
as Dr. Tanner, who fasted for forty days, who have come re-
cently and are respected citizens in their adopted country.
None of these branches will be included in this genealogy.
There is also a genealogy extant, compiled by the Rev.
Elias F. Tanner, entitled, "The Genealogy of the Descendants
of Thomas Tanner, Sr., of Cornwall, Connecticut, Etc." This
Thomas Tanner is said to have emigrated from Rhode Island,
and his name, with that of his son William, is found on the tax
roll of the town of Cornwall, Conn., in 1742. While it is the
opinion of the writer that Thomas Tanner is a son of William
Tanner who came to Rhode Island about 1682, his descendants
will not be included in this genealogy. Among these is Rev.
Edward Allan Tanner, D. D., late President of Illinois College,
and his son, the Rev. Allan A. Tanner, of the Congregational
Church. It is to be regretted that this genealogy is not more
exhaustive. This work will contain only the descendants of
William Tanner of North Kingstown, R. I., whom we
assume to be the the oldest son of William Tanner of South
Kingstown, R. I. The genealogical indications and
indirect evidence all point to this conclusion.
William Tanner, of South Kingstown, Rhode Island,
and his Descendants
The first mention of William Tanner in Rhode Island
appears in the Fones Record, Vol. I. p. 70, asa witness to a deed
of Frances Houlding, of Warwick. "I, Francis Houlding,doe
consent to ye deed of sale, and forever will quitt clayme, etc.
Witness my hand and seale ye 12th day of May, 1682. "
WILLIAM TANNER,

The next mention of William Tanner is on the tax roll of
the town of Rochester (Kingstown), under Governor Andrus,
for 1687, where he is taxed for one pole, 1 l-2d.
In 1693, William Tanner bought a tract of land of one hun-
8 THK TANNERS IN AMERICA.
dred acres, more or less, of Henry Hall of Westerly, v/eavor,
the deed bearing date, July 4th, 1693. This deed is on record
in the town of Westerly and was not recorded in South Kings-
town until August 1st, 1728. In the deed he is said to be of
Kingstown, " planter. " This parcel of land lies on the east
side of the river, about a mile below the village of Usquepaugh,
and is described as follows:
"Lying westerly from John Sheldon's dwelling house as foUoweth:
Beginning at the brook at John Sheldon's bounds and so up his bounds
six score poles more or less to a white oak tree marked on three sides,
and so from thence south and by west nearest six score poles to a
walnut bush and from thence west nearest to the river to an ash tree
marked on four sides, and so up stream to the furthest that I have
under the hand and seal of Coiauaquanto as appeareth more largely
upon the general records of Rhode Island. "
This "Hall Purchase" contained about two square miles,
and " The house of John Sheldon appears to have been one of
the first, if not the very first, built on this purchase, being re-
ferred to as a well known landmark in the oldest deeds. "
[Early history of Narragansett, by Judge E. R. Potter, p.
226.]
On this land, near the river, and hard by an inclosed burial
place, may still be seen the graves of two or three generations,
including the grave of William Tanner and two of his wives,
marked as follows: The one at the left, W. T. ; the first on
the right, M. T. ; the next, E. T. At the foot of these are four
small graves. No dates or inscriptions are found on the sim-
ple, rude stones which mark the resting place of the founder
of this line of Tanners in America.
In the records of the town of Westerly, R. I., in
the will of Job Babcock, made March 26th, 1715, and approved
April 7th, 1718, is the following:
"Item: I give unto my daughter Mary Tanner's heirs one shilling."
The occupation of Job Babcock is ''miller. "
The circumstantial evidence tends to show that this Mary
Tanner was the wife of William Tanner the ancestor of the
Rhode Island Tanners, not including the Newport Tanners.
In the same burial place, near the graves of William and
his wives, and at the foot of the little graves referred to. above,
are two graves, the one at the right marked J. T. and the.other
S. T. These no doubt are the graves of John Tanner, son of
William, who lived on the opposite side of the river, and Su-
HISTORICAL. 9
sannah, his second wife. At the foot of these last are two small
graves, and at the right of these, a short space away, are two
other little graves — seventeen altogether, and all unmarked
with the exception of those named.
In his will, made November 27th, 1708, and approved July
13th, 1713, Henry Tibbits gives " to grandson William Tanner
land purchased of Thomas Stanton of Stonington." There is
no record of marriage of the daughter of Henry Tibbitts, nor
does he mention her name in his will. Nor is there any men-
tion of the father of this " grandson. " The records are silent
as to any Tanner relationship. The wife of Henry Tibbitts
was Sarah, daughter of Robert Stanton and Avis his wife, of
Newport, married December, 1661. Sarah died in 1708 and
Tibbitts in 1713. In the absence of any records to the con-
trary and from the fact that Avis is a family name in the family
of William Tanner of South Kingstown and William Tanner
of North Kingstown, we shall assume that the latter, the
"grandson' ' of Henry Tibbitts, was the only son of the former
by his first wife, who was a daughter of Tibbitts. The genea-
logical evidence all points in this direction.
Henry Tibbitts appointed Constable in East Greenwich, 1G78.
Henry Tibbitts and John Foanes buy land, 1671-1672.
There would seem to be two lines of Tanners in Rhode
Island, of common parentage, at one generation remove, viz:—
William Tanner of South Kingstown, who -would seem to be
the brother of the father of John and James Tanner of Newport,
as the former in his will calls Francis Tanner of Hopkinton his
kinsman, and makes him a bequest, and also Mary, the infant
daughter of Isaac Tanner. This Vidll was revoked after his
second marriage.
A tradition has been preserved in the line of Job Tanner,
son of John, who settled in Dutchess county, and later in
Rensselaer county, N. Y., as follows: "Sometime in the
seventeenth century a boy by the name of William Tanner
was kidnapped in the streets of London, on his way home from
school, with a Bible under his arm, and put on board a ship as
a cabin boy, and taken to America, settling in Rhode Island,
where he married and died. His first wife's name was Mary,
and they had three sons, one of them named John. "
It is pretty certain that William Tanner came to America
in his youth, and the grain of truth which we find gives color
to the story. The writer is inclined to connect his coming
with the visit of Randall Houlding to England about 1678,
10 THE TANNERS IN AMERICA.
under whose protection the young man may have come to the
New World. It is now impossible to verify the tradition, or
to decide from what part of England our ancestors came.
One thing is certain, the early Tanners were Baptists, and,
no doubt, came to Rhode Island on account of their religious
principles.
The writer has a boyhood impression of hearing it said that
our ancestor came over in the time of Cromwell's War. But
this has no evidence to support it.
Quite as much to the point is the following, sent me by Mr.
Charles H. Greene, of Alford, New York— a quotation from
Ivimey's "History of the English Baptists," p, 526. "In
1693, there was an assembly at Bristol, on the 19th of the
second month, called April, of the Elders, messengers and min-
istering Brethrenjpf divers baptized Churches in England and
Wales, to talk over the interests of the Baptist Churches in the
west of England. " The circular letter is signed, ' 'Your breth-
ren waiting for the consolation of Israel. " " Signed by us in
the name of the whole, " William Tanner and seventeen others.
These evidently were the preachers of the denomination then
present. The churches composing this west riding conference
were, Sudbury, Plymouth, Love, Southwick, Calne, Haycomb,
Westbury, Melksham, Bridgewater, Taunton, Bristol, Brad-
ford, Lanon, besides Baptist churches in six Welsh counties
whose name or number is not given. To which of these
churches William Tanner belonged we have no information.
The writer inclines to the opinion that our ancestor came
from the west of England, and the above from Ivimey may
give some future genealogist a clew whereby he may connect
our ancestor with his English parentage.
We give below, the names of the children of William
Tanner, the immigrant, of South Kingstown, gathered from
old records. The order of birth is not known until we come
to Francis (6). It seems highly probable that William of
North Kingstown, R. I., was the first born, and Benjamin the
next.

him by his grandfather, Henry Tibbitts.

THOMAS, assumed to be a son who settled about 1730 in Litch-
field county, Conn., and about 1740 in Cornwall of that
county; he had three sons, William, Thomas and John. (For
HISTORICAL. 11
Thomas, see Genealogy of Thomas Tanner of Cornwall,

various records; ch. a son Lawrence, who probably d. young,
and daus., Mary (unmarried), Grace Brand and Thankful
Clarke. (See Clarke genealogy).
6 FRANCIS, b. July 3rd, 1708, who settled in the present town of
Hopkinton, where he bought 1,200 acres of land. His de-
scendants are found in Rhode Island, New York and farther
west.

kinton, R. I. Some of his descendants are to be found in
Rhode Island and in New York, etc.

While the writer thus far finds no record of any relation-
ship between William Tanner of North Kingstown and
W^illiam Tanner of South Kingstown, yet, after carefully
weighing the evidence, he is satisfied that William of North
Kingstown was the oldest son of William of South Kingstown
by an unnamed daughter of Henry Tibbitts.
William Tanner of North Kingstown was a member of the
town council from 1746 to 1752.
"The place where he settled, still known (1900) as the
'old Tanner farm,' is about one mile from Potowomut Fac-
tory, on both sides of the ' Cross River, ' in a southeasterly
direction, about three miles from East Greenwich and about
five miles north of the village of Wickford. This land re-
mained in the Tanner family until a few years ago. " [George

Note. — In "Additions and Corrections," second column, Mr. Austin
says in his Genealojiical Dictionary, referring to the family of Henry
Tibbitts; "VITI. Hannah m. William Tanner; ch. I. William, 1712; II.
Benjamin, etc. " The reader is referred to what has been said in re-
gard to tlie rehilionship of William Tanner to Henry Tibbitts. Mr.
Austin has evidently confounded names. This is evident from the
tenure of tiie inheril;ince. It is more likely that the wife of William
Tanner of Noi-th Kingstown was Hannah Palmer. There is a pre-
sumption in ffivor of this from the fact that the name Palmer is a dis-
tinctive name in this line for several generations. George Palmer, Henry
Tibbitts and others imite in a petition relating to the title to land pur-
chased of tlie Indinns. The name shows, at least, some intimate con-
nections with the Palmer family.

The head-stones have no inscriptions. It is, no doubt, here
that William and his family are buried.

DELIVERANCE.
Nathaniel Rose was in the Revolution.
The following is a description of the land of William Tanner
(9).
William Tanner, Jr., yeoman of North Kingstown, buys
land in Exeter, 183 acres, in 1747, bounded west by William
Eldred, north by Jos. Rathbun, east by Capt. John Eldred,
south on the Ten Rod highway, very likely the land, or near the
land, owned (1905) by Gardner Barber.
THIRD GENERATION. 17
The following appears in the records of the town of Exeter,
Rhode Island.
"Birth of the children of Wilham Tanner, Jr., by Susannah,
his wife: William Tanner was born August 15th, 1752."
WiUiam Tanner, Jr., admitted freeman, 1756 or 1757, one
record says April 20th, 1757.
From the town records it appears that he was a resident
of Exeter, Feb. 12th, 1765. That the name of his wife at this
time was Brigit; that he had a son designated as William
Tanner, 3d, "eldest son of Wilham Tanner, Jr.," a daughter
Amey. He is named in his father's will, made in 1778. No
further record appears, and the writer is unable to gather any
family tradition of him.
The following is taken from the Exeter town records(R. I.)
June 11th, 1768. "Whereas William Tanner, husband to one
of the daughters of the said Marcy Hill, deceased, appeared
in this same council and desired that he might have a letter
of administration on the personal estate of the above named
Marcy Hill, deceased ; it is therefore,
"Ordered, That the above named William Tanner have a
letter of administration on all the personal estate of the above
said Marcy Hill, deceased, he giving such bond, etc. "
It would seem that William Tanner, Sr., of Exeter, was
married three times. The following appears in the Exeter
town records: March 1736-7, "William Tanner, Jr., and
Martha his wife (North Kingstown) sell to Benjamin Tanner
of the said town, 20 acres of land, and dwelHng house, bounded
west by John Briggs and Philip Aylesworth, north by my
father, etc. "
1737-8, William Tanner sells land in North Kingstown,
no signature of wife.
February 10th, 1742, James Sweet, of North Kingstown, in
his will names a daughter, "Ann Tanner."
William Tanner and Deliverance sell land 1757, soon after
the death of his father, William Tanner, of North Kingstown.
From the above, and the intimate relation William Tanner
of Exeter bore to the Sweets, it would appear that the 2d wife
of William was Ann Sweet.
1756, William Tanner is one to make an inventory on the
estate of Henry Sweet, deceased.
March 24th, 1761, William Tanner, Deliverance Tanner
and Griffin Sweet witness the will of Samuel Sweet.
It is further likely that the 3d wife was Deliverance Briggs,
though the writer has no absolute proof. Probabilities point
to this.
18 THE TANNERS IN AMERICA.
A Deliverance Briggs, dau. of John Briggs and Sarah his
wife, is named in the will of Briggs, made April 21st, 1746, and
proved February 8th, 1747. Deliverance was probably over
eighteen, as a legacy is given her outright; but to a niece when
she comes of eighteen.
Daniel, brother of John, also names in his will made Sept.
9th, 1727. proved March 28th, 1730, wife Lydia, ch. Daniel,
Benjamin, Hannah, Martha, Deliverance, Mercy.
The former would be the more likely, and the proximity
of the families leads the writer to think that the 3d wife of
William Tanner, Sr., of Exeter, was Deliverance Briggs, dau.
of John Briggs, of North Kingstown.
Note relative to Henry Tihbitts, grandfather of William Tan-
ner.
Henry Tibbitts, admitted freeman of Acquidnessitt,1668.
Henry Tibbitts, John Foanes, and others present petition
relating to lands in the Narragansett country, purchased by
them in 1671-2, asking for a ratification of said purchase.
Appointed constable in 1678.
Henry Tipets, Geo. Palmer, John Shelldin, Arthur Ayles-
worth, Nicholas Gardner and others petition the King. [For
further information concerning Henry Tibbitts, see R. I. colo-
nial records, and early R. I. history.]
William Tanner's Will
(Original in possession of Dr. H. B. Tanner, Kaukauna, Wis.)
"In the name of God, Amen. I, William Tanner, of Stephen-
town, in the county of Albany, in the state of New York, being
weak in body but of sound memory, blessed be God, do, this
twenty-seventh day of June, in the year of our Lord the one
thousand seven hundred and seventy-eighth, make this my last
will and testament in manner following: That is to say, first, I
give to my son William Tanner, two dollars, to be paid two
years after my decease, he having received his portion before.
Also I give to my son Thos. Tanner one dollar, to be given two
years after my decease. Also I give to my sons Palmer Tanner
and Benjamin Tanner, their heirs and assigns forever, all
that messuage or tennament situate in Stephentown, wherein
I now live, together with all my blacksmith tools, equally to
be divided between them. Also I give to my sons Abel Tanner
and Nathan Tanner, one hundred and fifty dollars, to be paid
THIRD GENERATION. 19
two years after my decease. Also I give to my daughters
Hannah Braudway and Amy Brown and Martha Tanner and
Susannah Watson and Avis Bennet and Thankful Rose and
Mary Rose, each of them one dollar, to be paid in two years after
my decease, they having had their portion before. Also I give
to my daughter Lydia and Deliverance Tanner fifty dollars
each, to be paid in two years after my decease. Also I give
to my loving wife Deliverance all of my household goods, to
remain hers for her use and the use of the family during her
life or their residence here. I also order my sons Palmer Tan-
ner and Benjamin Tanner to keep three cows for the use of the
family. I also give to m}?^ son Benjamin Tanner one mare colt.
Also all the rest and residue of my goods and chattels and per-
sonal estate whatsoever, I give to my son Palmer Tanner
and my said wife. Deliverance Tanner, and I make and ordain
my son Palmer and my said wife joint executors of this my
will, and intrust for the intents and purposes—" * * * *
("The rest is illegible; one witness is Benjamin Shelden; signed
by William Tanner ' his mark' — owing to weakness of body. He died
June 30th, following this date." [1778.]
The writer is indebted to Mrs. Amasa E. Tifft, a descendant
of Thankful Tanner, daughter of William Tanner of Exeter,
R. I. and Stephentown, N. Y., (9), for the following
record of Wyatt and Thankful Tanner Rose. Mrs. Tiflft
is a descendant of the Rhode Island Tiffts, and resides in
Ithaca, N. Y., 526 Stewart Avenue.
Wyatt and Thankful Tanner Rose had (so far as now
known) three children:

May 11th, 1743, Benjamin Tanner, tailor, buys in Exeter 70
acres of land ; admitted freeman June 7th, 1743. January 10th,
1743-4, Abigail, wife of Benjamin Tanner, appears in council
and acknowledges the will of her late husband, deceased, made
December, 1743, in which he names his two sons, Samuel and
Abel, and wife Abigail ; and in case of the death of his sons, then
his two sisters, Hannah Tanner and Mary Tanner, are to enjoy
their bequests, and George Tibbitts and Thomas Hill of North
Kingstown are executors. December 10th, 1754, Abel Tanner,
son to Benjamin, deceased, appears before the town council
THIRD GENERATION. 21
of Exeter and chooses his grandfather WilHam, for guardian.
Abel, therefore, must have been 14 years of age, or past.
In 1760, Abel appears before the council and desires letters
of administration on the estate of Samuel Tanner his brother,
Samuel having been absent three years and upwards. In
1761, the council appointed Abel administrator. The inven-
tory, amounting to £629, 13s., was presented by Abel.
No further account appears of Abel, and very likely he
removed to the West, or as then called ' 'up country. "

wife Sarah; son Samuel Tanner's children; son Thomas Tan-
ner; daughter Elizabeth Matteson; daughter Mary Tanner;
daughter Dorcas Tanner; son William Tanner, who is ap-
pointed executor.
The date of the death of Dorcas, wife of Henry, does not
appear. She signs away her right of dowry January 25th,
1794. All the children must have been by first wife. Henry
Tanner and wife Sarah deed land to son Thomas, July 18th,
1802. Tradition says that 2nd wife was Sarah Rice.
The estate of Dorcas Tanner, spinster, of West Greenwich,
was administered March 27th, 1837; and estate of Mary Tan-
ner, spinster, West Greenwich, had administrator appointed
June 8th, 1837.

In the records of Otsego county, N. Y., it appears that
William Aylesworth sells land to Francis Tanner in the town
of Burlington, N. Y., January 30th, 1809; also in 1811 to
Stephen and Isaac Colgrove. In 1829 one Francis Tanner and
Lucina his wife, sell land in Burlington, "and in 1845 Francis
Tanner alone conveys land in Butternuts.
Probably these conveyances are by the same party, or by
father and son; but no further record of Francis Tanner of
North Kingstown appears.

November 16th, 1771, Thomas Tanner, St., of Exeter,leases
land of Mary Searing of Newport for 18 years; he to build a
house and to set out 100 apple trees; to clear 3 acres each
year. Land bounded north by the Ten Rod Road; west by
land of Job Tripp; south in part by Job Rathbun.
Thomas Tanner was related to the Perrys and Whitfords,
was a man of property and held office. It is said that he
favored the cause of England ; but his name appears as a pri-
vate on the pay roll of the Continental Army, Capt. James
(Lewis?) Company, Col. Christopher Lippitt's Second Regiment
of Foot, Rhode Island Brigade, Newport, June 5th, 1776. [See
receipts His. Soc. Providence, R. I.] The census of 1774, Exe-
ter, gives his family one male and one female above sixteen,
and three females (evidently an error for three males) under
sixteen, and one Indian; total, six.
He sells land in Exeter, R. I., 1794; removed to Herkimer
county N. Y., and settled in the town of Norw'ay, where
he bought 600 acres of land, giving each son a quarter section.
Pasco Whitford [See Austin's Gen. Dictionary] was among
the early settlers of Newport, Kingstown and East Greenwich
and is assumed as the father of Nicholas and Pasco, and the
ancestor of the Whitfords of Exeter and West Greenwich.
Nicholas had a quarter of a right of land in tract of 30,000
acres that afterwards became West Greenwich, R. I. Pasco,
Jr., had a son John.

Mr. 0. M. Tanner of Aurora, 111., to whom the writer
is indebted for information, says that he had never heard his
father speak of any of the children of Palmer (16) except Amy
and Rowland, both of whom were unmarried and lived with
their mother at Brockport, N. Y. He says he has a dis-
tinct remembrance of his father and mother making a visit
to his grandmother, who was very aged, about 1863.
It is conjectured that the others may have died young,
as we find no further record and no branches which trace
their origin to these.
The name of Palmor Tanner appears in the Revolutionary
records in the Fourth Albany, Col. William Van Rensselaer.

Tanner. After naming William and Palmer, he says: "Patience,

m. Benjamin Maker. James went to sea and nothing more

In the absence of written records we have assumed Palmer
(22) to be the son of Palmer (11). The genealogical indica-
tions point in this direction. Had the North Kingstown
records not been injured by fire the connection might have
been found. There can be no question that Palmer (22) belongs
to the North Kingstown branch, and we find no other place to
assign him, as the negative evidence excludes him from every
other family.
The census of 1774 shows that he had six children; 3 males
under 16, and 3 females under 16. It may be that other chil-
dren were born later.

Avis(?) m. and went West.

Her second husband was a Mr. Carpenter.
Ruth m. Ezekiel M. Gardner.
In 1792, when the will was made, Ruth, Lydia, Sarah, Anna,
Elizabeth and Lucy are named as unmarried.
" Benjamin was born on the old farm in a house near ' the
old saw mill,' and married Sarah Aylesworth, who lived on
an adjoining farm south. The wife died with the old-fashioned
leprosy. Benjamin was a Tory, and it is said used to go with
his son Benjamin down to Allen's Harbor by night to carry
provisions to the British, who would come ashore at a given
signal. "
" One very foggy morning, when they had been belated for
some reason, they were discovered by some of the neighbors
on their way home. "
"On another occasion, he took his son Palmer and went
down to the shore to deliver products. As they were late in
returning it was with great difficulty that they reached home
without being discovered. " '
The above seems hardly compatible with the fact that he
was "draughted" for service at Newport as private and re-
ported for duty August 2nd, 1778. That he was held in high
esteem by his fellow-townsmen and was loyal to his country-
appears in the fact that he was a member of the town council
from 1788 to 1792, in North Kingstown, and his descendants
are entitled to this honor of their ancestor. Smth's Civil and
Military History of Rhode Island gives Benjamin Tanner, Lieu-
tenant, 1767, in a North Kingstown company.
George Thomas Tanner, in a family record compiled by
him, says that " Benjamin Tanner who married Sarah Ann
Aylesworth, had a brother Nathan, born in North Kingstown
about 1738 (not known whom he married), had four sons and
one daughter that we know of, viz: William, Palmer, James,
Nathan, Jr., and Martha. " [See 21.] " WilHam, born probably
about 1760 ('80) , had two so-is, Timothy and Henry. Palmer,
born about 1762, probably settled in Coventry or Warwick;
was called 'Deacon' Palmer Tanner; had six children, viz:
Abel, Jeremiah, James, Palmer, Jr., Mary Ann, and John. "
[See 46 and 47.]
"Of James, born about 1764, nothing is known. Of
Nathan, Jr., there is no record; born probably about 1766."
[21 and remarks.]
"Martha, born about 1768, married Nathaniel Carpenter
36 THE TANNEKS IN AMERICA.
of North Kingstown about 1786. To them were born five
sons and three daughters — Daniel E., Samuel, Christopher,
Nathan Tanner, John, Harriet W., Eliza Ann and Catherine. "
[Record of Geo. Thomas Tanner.]
The above record is given here as that of a painstaking
man who had opportunity of consulting aged people living on
the grounds. But a hundred years, or nearly, had intervened,
and he does not seem to have consulted old town records. In
the light of these and of family records of the related branches,
we find it necessary to differ from his conclusions, as will
appear in the case of William, son of Nathan, who died Jan-
uary 15th, 1826, aged 45, bringing his birth in 1780 or 81,
instead of 1760.
The same writer, in an unpublished genealogy of his branch
of the North Kingstown Tanners, says: "Benjamin Tanner of
North Kingstown married Sarah Ann Aylesworth, whose
father lived on an adjoining farm. His family consisted of
three sons and nine daughters — Benjamin, Palmer, Henry,
Lydia, Sally, Nancy, Hannah, Susan, Betsey, Polly, Avis,
Lucy. The names vary somewhat from those in the will of
Benjamin and Sarah. But the points of agreement show that
it is the same family.
The will of Sarah was made November 10th, 1801, and her
estate settled February 2nd, 1834. She names son Palmer;
daughter na Austin, wife of Henry Austin; ,wife
of Silvester Sweet; daughter Ruth, wife of Ezekiel M. Gard-
ner; daughter Lydia Johnson, wife of Levi Johnson; daughter
Sarah Gardner, wife of Gould Gardner; two daughters,
Potter wife of William Potter, and Elizabeth Tanner; daughter
Lucy Tanner; three said younger daughters, Anna Potter,
Elizabeth Tanner, and Lucy Tanner; son Benjamin.
The tradition relating to Nathan, brother of Benjamin (23),
may be accepted as correct. At least the writer has no data
contradictory to this theory. The fact that Nathan is not
mentioned as receipting for a portion of his father's estate
would not be conclusive against this, as he may have received
his portion before the death of his father; besides, the records
of North Kingstown were so injured by fire as to be in many
parts illegible.
To Palmer, son of William (2) of North Kingstown, we
must assign the Palmer of Scituate, whose name places him
in the North Kingstown branch, the name Palmer at that
early day being a family name among them. Benjamin (3),
son of William (2) of North Kingstown, does not name in
FOURTH GENERATION. 37
his will, made in 1743, any son Palmer; and Palmer, son of
William (3) of Exeter, removed to New York just before the
Revolution. For these reasons, after careful consideration,
the writer's conviction is, that Palmer Tanner of Scituate was
the son of Palmer, of William of North Kingstown, All known
facts are in harmony with this, and there is nothing to con-
tradict it. Records were imperfect, in some instances all the
children but one being found on the town records.

1812, and in the absence of his father the care of the family
fell upon his young shoulders.
He emigrated to Ohio in the winter of 1834-5, on runners
over the 'ce of Lake Erie, settling on a farm in Ruggles, then
Huron Co., now a part of Ashland Co., where the last four
children were born.

The dates in the North Kingstown records are partially
defaced by fire. The small figures at the right are supplied
from family records and are doubtless -correct. In the record
of the family, Henry appears as Harry Higgins, died in boy-
hood; shot by accident.
Palmer was born in " the old sawmill house ' near the Cross
river, in North Kingstown, and settled on the old homestead,
where he built him a house about a hundred rods southeast
from where the old one stood, and it is said he hammered out
all the nails with his own hands in the old blacksmith-shop,
which stood near the ' 'sawmill bridge. "
He was tall and straight, and lived and died in the house
built mostly with his own hands. In middle life he desired
to be baptized, but for some reason the Church did not accept
him. He was buried on the farm where he was born, not in
the old burial-ground, but a few rods south of the house, where
his wife and some of his children were already buried. [In

Note. — Tradition has it that Christopher Tanner served in the
War of 1812, and one of his descendants. Major C. D. Parkhurst, is a
life member of the Society of the War of 1812 on his record established
by tradition and the affidavit of a daughter of Christopher, Mary
Gorton Dyer of Cranston, R. I.
Sarah Williams, wife of Christopher Tanner, was a direct descend-
ant from Roger Williams. She was born in Cranston. She never
remarried, but died a widow, and is buried in Pocasset cemetery, which
is on the farm of the " Dyer Nursery. "

Lorenzo Dow Tanner was a man of deep religious con-
victions. Early in life he joined the Methodist church, studied
for the ministry, and after passing his examinations was sent
out upon the circuit, and preached three sermons a day, each
weekday and Sabbath. He was considered one of the rising
young lights of the conference to which he belonged. Ever
true to his convictions of duty, he denounced slavery from
pulpit and platform. Bishops and elders tried to convince
him that he ought to confine himself to what they considered
the "Gospel," to which he replied, "I have not so learned
Christ. "
He finally withdrew from the church, feeling that it was
wrong to fellowship those who communed with sla^^eholders.
Many fugitives from bondage found a night's shelter, food and
clothing, or money, beneath his roof on their way to Canada.
He was in correspondence with Wendall Phillips and Lloyd
Garrison. He was always true to his convictions of duty, and
the soul of honor in his dealings with men.

" Eli Tanner was one of the pioneer settlers of Lancaster, Erie
county. Born in Rhode Island, he drove to this state (N. Y.) behind
a team of oxen. He bought a farm and built a house a few miles north-
east of Bowmansville, when Indians roved about the country trading,
and he often housed them over night as self-invited guests.
"Mr. Tanner was of an inventive turn of mind, and devised several
useful farming and household implements, including one of the earliest
types of washing-machines. He also introduced the sugar-cane plant

into Erie county, growing it on his own farm. In his declining yearn
he divided his time between reading and target practice, both of which
were favorite pastimes of his." [From Buffalo Express.]

William Tanner went to California in 1850, and subsequently to
Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Omaha, Nebraska, where, with others, he
platted and laid out Omaha City. In 1854, he pre-empted 160 acres
near Leavenworth, Kansas, which was afterwards incorporated with
the city, where he passed the remainder of his days.
" He was president and father of the first pomological society
organized west of the Mississippi river, and the growth and well being
of the State Horticultural Society owes much of its early success to
his indomitable industry and study of tlie habits of trees in our then
discouraging climate." [Leavenworth Times.]

Henry Tanner (163) is the author of a book called "The Alton
Trials," being a "History of the Rise and' Progress of the Alton Riots,
Culminating in the Death of Rev. Elijah P. Lovejoy, November 7th,
1837." Printed at Buffalo, N. Y., by James D. Warren, 1878. Written
for the Buffalo Historical Society.
Henry Tanner with others was indicted for riot committed on the
night of November 7th, 1837, while engaged in defending a printing-
press from an attack made on it by a mob, resulting in the murder by
this mob, of Rev. Mr. Lovejoy — the owner of the printing-press and an
advocate of anti-slavery.
P'or a full account, see the pamphlet referred to, deposited in the
Buffalo Historical Society; also other works. The event created a
profound sensation at the time, and Mr. Lovejoy was named "The
Martyr."

SIXTH GENERATION. 97
during the Civil War and prior to the conflict he was a very pronounced
anti-slavery man. He possessed a natural talent for speaking, and
during tliose stirring days made many telling addresses. Later he
became interested in the universal peace movement and his voice was
frequently heard at the annual meetings at the grove in Mystic.
"In former years he had been in the employ of the Standard
Machine Company, until by reason of age he was unable to attend to
business. Notwithstanding he had long survived the allotted span
of human life, he remained cheerful and always had a kind word for
those with whom he came in contact." [Norwich Courier.]

Jeremiah Tanner was born on Prudence Island, and is a descend-
ant by his mother's line from William Unis, one of the Waldenses who
emigrated from Guernsey, in France, early in the 18th century.
In his earlier life he was the valued friend of Mr. Samuel Foster.
From 1837 to 1841 he held a responsible position with the Lonsdale
Company at Lonsdale, and afterwards with the Warren Manufactur-
ing Company at Warren. During the later years of his life he resided
in Providence with his granddaughter, Mrs. Horton. He was well
known in the city, and his habit was to sit on the steps of the Arcade,
where he could be seen any pleasant day of summer. He was strictly
temperate and regular in his habits, was never sick, and at the last
passed away as the candle dies in its socket, and "he was not."
His brother Abel was a pronounced abolitionist prior to the Civil
War, and was frequently associated with Wendell Phillips in that cause.

"Albert S. Tanner removed to Norwich, N. Y., in 1840. He was
then a builder, and formed a partnership with Abraham Thomas. The
firm constructed the old Norwich Academy, and many other buildings.
In 1846 he removed to a farm in Morrisville, Madison county, where
he acquired a competence, and later returned to Norwich, where he
spent the remainder of his days.
"Mr. Tanner had many of the attributes of the gentleman of the
old school. He was courteous, affable, a good talker and an agreeable
companion to young and old. Strictly honest and honorable in all his
transactions, his character was above reproach. His rel'gious life
was even and consistent. He was one of the oldest members of the
Norwich Baptist Church in length of service and years. He was a
good citizen and took an active interest in the welfare of the nation."

The Rev. James Harvey Tanner was converted in 1857, and soon
entered upon active Christian work. His ministry was first with the
Protestant Methodist Church; but in 1862, he came from Genesee
county, N. Y.,to Michigan and joined the Michigan Conference, of which
he was a devoted and useful member.
During the last eight years of his life he lived in Big Rapids, and
though in failing health preached as opportunity offered. His preach-
ing was of the evangelistic kind, and many were converted under his
ministry. He possessed much enthusiasm in his work, and served
many churches acceptably. The source of most of his success was
the excellencies of his manhood, integrity and uprightness, and he died
respected by all who knew him. He was buried at Paw Paw, Mich.

friends, yet not sorrowing as without hope." [George Thomas Tanner.]
