One child of Joshua Tanner (b. 27 July 1757, d. 12
September 1807) and his wife, Thankful Tefft (b. 21 March 1757, d. 18 November
1822) was John Tanner (b. 15 August 1778, d. 13 April 1850). It is through
Thankful Tefft that the descendants of John Tanner are able to trace their
ancestry to three of passengers on the Mayflower who landed in America in 1620.
The three Mayflower passengers were Francis Cooke (b. aft.
1582, d. 7 April 1663), his son, John Cooke (b. abt. 1606, d. 23 November 1695)
and Richard Warren (b. abt. 1579, d. 1628). Despite over a hundred years of
very thorough research, many of the details of their lives have been lost. This
extensive research has been unable to uncover exact birth dates for either
Francis Cooke[1] or
Richard Warren[2]
nor has the research been able to establish any of their parents or ancestors.
