Note: NOTES PER PAUL TANNER'S RESEARCH Abner Deer and Jonas Deer are believed to have been brothers, apparently born in Virginia in the 1790's. They are both listed in the 1820 Madison County, VA census. Abner Deer married Rosina Weaver in Madison County, VA June 30, 1815. In 1823, a new Bethcar Church (Baptist) was formed at Madison County, VA. Abner Deer was one of the founders. Jonas Deer is listed in the 1830 census in Boone County as having a son in the 10-15 year old bracket. Jonas bought 105 acres on Fowler's branch of Gunpowder in 1834. Abner Deer had bought some acreage on Gunpowder in 1829 and 1830. He sold his house and 79 acres to Henry Aylor in 1831. Henry Aylor had married Jemima, daughter of Frederick Tanner. In 1835, Abner bought 150 acres adjoining Jonas. Abner's only known child, Eliza Ann, was born in Virginia, June 16, 1816. She married Llewellyn Tanner, son of Jacob, October 30, 1834. They apparently lived with her parents (Abner and Rosina Deer) until said parents' death. In 1839, Joan Deer deeded most of his property to his son, William, and prepared to move to Missouri. Abner Deer's household in the 1840 census consisted of the following: (I have inserted what I believe to be the names) Male (40-50) Abner Deer Female (50-60) Rosina Male (40-50) * could be Jonas Deer, just before leaving for Missouri. Male (20-30) Llewellyn Tanner Female (20-30) Eliza Tanner Male (0-5) William Henry Tanner Male (0-5) Owen P. Tanner -Abner also had 6 slaves-three male, three female. April 1, 1845, Jonas Deer (Shelby County MO) sold the remaining 51 acres of his Boone County land to Abner Deer and Llewellyn Tanner for $1000. Abner Deer died about 1849. All of his property must have descended to Eliza and Llewellyn. Llewellyn was listed as the head of household in the 1850 Census: Llewellyn Tanner 36 Eliza 33 William Henry 14 Owen P. 11 Jeptha 9 Jacob Logan 1 Rosanna Deer 68 (Eliza's mother) His real estate was listed at $8000. He had three male and three female slaves-from their ages, some may have belonged to Abner in 1840. Rosina Deer apparently had married in her 30's and was 35 when Eliza was born. This may account for Eliza's apparent lack of siblings. Rosina died in 1856. ************************************************************************************************************************* PER CATHI CLORE FROST'S RESEARCH: Abner Deer married (1) Rosina Weaver 30 June 1815 in Madison County, Virginia (John Vogt and T.
