Frances Tanner, born in Virginia in 1694,[1] was the second daughter of Thomas and Mary (Atwell) Tanner. She married Francis Awbrey (also spelled Aubrey) before 1711.[2] He was the brother of John Awbrey (D. & W. No. 8, 1723-38, p. 179).[3]
Francis and Frances (Tanner) Awbrey moved to Prince William County, Virginia. The records show that they had at least two sons, John Awbrey and Frances Awbrey, Jr.[3]
Francis's wife was included in his 1741 will, although not by name.[4] She died in 1744.[3]

Hi! I'm working on conforming the Virginia Project to clarified WikiTree guidelines that say if a profile has a project box then it needs to be managed by the project. I don't see that this profile needs project management, so I deleted the Virginia Project Box. If you think it would benefit from project management, you can add it back if you also add the project account as a manager (WikiTree-41 has info on how to do that).
Please give me a holler if you have any questions.
Tanner-396 and Tanner-1727 appear to represent the same person because: birth of 1685 was a guess on my part; children listed in Tanner-1727 match list from husband Francis Awbrey's will (see abstract on his profile). Cole- see also the comment I added; looks like Awbrey-35 and Awbrey-88 are ready to be merged too. What do you think?
Please give me a holler if you have any questions.
