John Tanner and his second wife, Rebecca Spencer, were the parents of at least one son, Thomas Tanner. Mary Banning Friedlander asserts in her My American Heritage, genealogy found on her RootsWeb genealogy that, "The proof that this Thomas {Tanner} was the son of John and Rebecca comes from two deeds: the first was on 8 March 1725 (East Haddam Deeds 2:568) in which John Tanner assigned his rights and title to the land John Kennard had bought, showing that he was the son of Rebecca and the second was on 24 October 1732 (EHD 3: 347) in which he sells land that was bought by "my honored father John Tanner", showing he was the son of John. The proof that Martha was the daughter of John Borden comes from a land deed of 28 November 1728 (Lyme LRs , 4:70) in which Thomas Tanner and wife. Martha Tanner sell to John Borden all claim to the land of the widow of the estate "of our honorable Father, John Borden of Lyme."
