The
Ancestry and Place of Birth for John Willis Tanner continues to be
unknown. There are legends and stories, but none have been
verified. If you are visiting this page and have any tidbit of
information that we can pursue that would help us in this endeavor,
PLEASE share. He and his wife, Mary Dorothea Baker, acquired their
passport across Indian Lands in 1811 at Laurens County, GA. They
evidently used "The Old Federal Road" to take them to Jackson
County, MS near Mobile, AL where he served in the U. S. Military in 1814
and continued to live and prosper.
