Banner Family of North Carolina
Banner Family of North Carolina
In 1751 Henry Banner and his wife, Eleanor, and their son Joseph are mentioned - "Joseph Banner of Stokes County was born in 1749 in Pennsylvania and moved to North Carolina in 1751. Henry Banner settled in what was then called Anson County, now Stokes, on Town Fork, near the present village of Germantown." Henry applied for two grants from Lord Granville on March 3, 1752, one for 640 acres (on Buffalo Creek) and another for 640 acres (Dorothea Creek, now called Muddy Creek). These two grants are in the name of Henry Bonner.

Previously we had listed Polina Shore Banner (twin) (1834-?) as a member of this family. This appears to be based on the 1850 census, where Polina Shore age 16 is the last-listed member of this household. However, there is no ditto mark by her name, and we are now thinking that she may be Polina SHORE, not a BANNER at all.
