Danner Family
Danner Family
Jacob Danner settled in North Carolina in present day Surry County, where his sons were all living and where they served in the Revolutionary War (except for Samuel). Jacob is believed to be buried in a small family plot belonging to his son, George, in Stokes County, NC. Surry County was divided and the land that George Danner had laid in Stokes County. It was situated on the South Fork of Muddy Creek. When he sold the land he reserved a half acre for a cemetery for his family. The Deed reads "where said George Danner's father, mother, brother and sister are buried."
