Edward Tanner (Joseph1) of Henrico County was born about 1664;* died 1719. He was a juryman in August 1688 and August 1692 (Henrico Records, Vol. 1677-92, pg. 279,481), and at the April Court 1685 he and others were presented to the Grand Jury by Francis Carter for fighting. (Ibid, pg. 312) In 1687 he made an agreement with his mother, Mrs. Mary Platt (Ibid, pg. 446).
Edward2 Tanner married Mary, probably daughter of Henry and Ann (Lound) Hatcher. William Hatcher, Junior of Henrico, (son of Henry and Ann (Lound) Hatcher) in his will proved in Henrico County, June 1694, names brother Edward Tanner, uncle Edward Hatcher and brother Henry Hatcher. The will of Henry Lound, of Henrico County, dated July 2, 1708, probated November 1, 1708, names granddaughter Mary Tanner.

*Deposition in Henrico County Records, Vol. 1688-1697, pg. 535, dated August 23, 1694, gives Edward Tanner aged about 30 years.
*This will of Edward Tanner is preserved in Henrico County Court in its original form among the "original papers." The volume containing the recorded copy thereof was destroyed many years ago.
-------------------------
No systematic attempt has been made to trace out the descendants of Edward Tanner and the following notes gathered at random are offered in the hope that some one may at a later day feel inclined to follow the clues:
At Henrico Court August 1723 a petition was presented by Mary Tanner, executrix of the will of Edward Tanner, deceased , setting forth that she had paid Edward Stewart (who married Martha, one of the daughters of the said Edward Tanner) the legacy given said Martha by said Tanner's will and that said Stewart refusing to give a discharge for same; Stewart appeared and said he had not received his wife's full legacy, whereupon court having considered allegations of parties and the depositions of evidence sworn are of opinion that said Stewart hath received the whole legacy given his wife aforesaid. (Henrico Records, Vol. 1719-24, pg. 282.)
On October 8, 1745, Mary Tanner and Joseph Tanner of Goochland County convey to Henry Hatcher, of Henrico County, for 25 currency, 160 acres on south side James River in Henrico County, adjoining Thomas Knibb, Peter Ashbrook, Jr. and William Baugh, being plantation whereon Edward Stewart now lives. (Henrico Records, Vol. 1744-8, pg. 453.)*+
*+ From an index to wills in Albemarle County it appears that the will of Mary Tanner was probated there in 1760.
