According to research I found on-line several years ago by Dodie Elizabeth (Smith) Browning under the Gene Hall “Fanning Genealogy Club” link, our Fanning family has its roots in County Tipperary, Ireland. Dodie has since removed her Fannin research from the web, and since I have not personally done the research, or know her sources, I cannot verify this information. I express my thanks with Dodie Browning, Gene Hall, Jim Fannin and all of those who have spent the time to do the research and share it.
Such as the “Begets” of the Bible, Dodie’s posting listed:
Thomas Amis Fanning, born about 1636,as the father of Laughlin Fanning, born about 1660, in County Tipperary, Ireland.
Laughlin and his wife gave birth to a son named Bryant Fanning in about 1698, in Amelia County, Virginia.
Bryant and his Virginia born wife, Elizabeth Echols, list a son born in 1735 by the name of Achilles.
Achilles and his wife, Rose Anna (maiden name missing) give birth to a son named David, on August 3, 1759, also of Amelia County, Virginia.
It is here that Dodie’s research splits into her Steele family line.
David Fannin married Jane and their daughter, Rosannah Fannin, married George Steele.
I encourage you to go to Dodie’s page and read about Rosannah Fannin Steele, and see her photos of their home in Tazewell County, Virginia.
The Fannin’s left Ireland somewhere between Laughlin Fanning’s birth in 1660 and his son Bryant’s birth in Amelia County, Virgina in 1698.
I invite you to journey on with me. We’re going to Kentucky!
Some of them left Virgina between the time of George’s birth in December 1804 in Virgina, and the birth of his first son, William Fannin, who was born in Morgan County, Kentucky May 29, 1826
