My mother's family is Tanton on her maternal side from PEI.I saw this post and sent it to her.Here is the rundown of what she told me - George is my great, great, great grandfather.According to her, he built a church in St. Eleanors twice as it burned down once.
She thinks Harry is his brother, but she's not sure about John.
Her mother's name was Isabella Sharp Tanton (b. 04/01/1902; d. 02/1968).She was from PEI (Summerside she thinks).Her father's name is Jarvis Pope Tanton.
Isabella married Carl Frederick (or Fredrick) Sporie on 06/27/1925 in Maine and they had the following children - Tanton, George, Frank, Marian, Mildred, Eleanor and Carol (my mother).
If anyone has any information, I'd be very interested.My email address is [email protected] put Tanton in the subject line.
