Research Notes

[edit]

Who is the father of Archelaus Tanner?

  • Researcher, Charles Ward1, proffers that we may conclude with a degree of certainty, although the "records do not explicitly state he is his father, that JOSEPH TANNER (b. ca 1710) was the father of Archelaus Tanner. The same JOSEPH TANNER is largely absent from Virginia county records and no will has been found for him."
[edit]

Who is the mother of Archelaus Tanner?

  • cos1776 Note: The Family Bible of Sarah Morton Tanner, his wife, records the following marriage: "Joseph Tanner & Phebe Branch was married June 27th 1729". Archelaus and Sarah would later name one of their sons "Branch". This raises the possibility that the mother of Archelaus Tanner was Phebe Branch. More research needed.
