Daniel Tanton is the youngest son of William Tanton and Elizabeth Pearse. He was born 16 July 1779 in Bideford, Devon, England and died 29 Jan 1797 in St. Giles in the Wood, Devon, England. He had 6 brothers and 1 sister.
Daniel's brother, George Tanton, is my 4th great grandfather, which makes Daniel my 4th great grand uncle. I'm related to the Tanton's on my mother's side. George eventually emigrated to Prince Edward Island, Canada in 1819.
