What in the world was V.B.Tanner doing in FL in 1790????

Thank you,

Patrick Tanner

Living the dream.... Just living the dream...

Forgive me for being facetious...

Let me see if I can come up with a significantly better explanation by way of a source...

I trusted some information that I probably should have investigated a little better before I posted here...

It is the match with a My Heritage tree that gives his death place as "Indiantown, Florida"...

The census records that I was able to find indicate that he died in Dorchester, Maryland...

It is later descendants of the same name that make their way down to Georgia/Florida...

Thank you for your response. It's interesting because FL was still under Spanish control in 1790 and there was nothing going on down there but Seminole conflicts.

I am from the Benjamin, Grady, - Clinton,- Soloman Jr, - Soloman Sr, - Joseph, - T.Noah, - Vinson B. Tanner line. I grew up in Milledgeville which is about 12 miles from the old Tanner place on Buffalo creek.

Another question I have is: why did Joseph move to Jefferson county FL before the Civil War? His son Soloman Sr. stayed in GA and went to War.

Thank you,

Patrick Tanner
