Timmons & Tanner - Building an American Heritage

A genealogy on the descendants of William (d1707) and Priscilla Timmins, immigrants to Somerset Co, MD and Edward Tanner (1740-1790) of Surry Co, VA. Their descendants migrated into NC, OH, IN, KS and many other states. Allied families include Browning, Chandler, Cox, Dixon, Gregg, Hinshaw, Hughes, Loyd, McManus, Rains, Ramey, Wierman, and Wroten.
