Fred,
If you're still out there, I know who this fellow is. He is the son of Eli Tanner and Mary "Polly" Martin.Mary was the daughter of Absalom Martin.Eli was born about 1792 in VA and Mary was born abt. 1795 in SC.
Eli and Mary Tanner can be found in the 1850 census of Gilmer Co., GA as Eli TARNER.
Thanks for the tip about finding Ab in 1860.I've had trouble finding him, too, between 1850 and 1880, so it's a great help to know where to look and also to realize that Cordelia's other name was Mary.
If you know anything more about these folks - especially Mary Cordelia's maiden name, I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks much!
