The Colonists of 1717 and 1719 remained in the Germanna neighborhood until 1725 or 1726 when they acquired land in Madison County.Many of these names are prominent in Madison and the surrounding area today. The Hebron Lutheran Church in Madison County remains today with an active congregation after being built by these Germanna Settlers in 1740. It is listed on theVirginia and National Register of Historic Places. There is some speculation that he was of French Hugenot descent, with the name originally having been "Bourdin" but this has not been established. HHe emigrated to America possibly from Germany, settling in Virginia. He may be of Welsh descent, also. At his death, he owned a Negro slave, Tom, a house, a still and well over 600 acres of landin Culpeper County, VA. See sources under Samuel Burdine

The Tanners probably arrived in Virginia in 1720. Catherine was born in England but is of German descent. She may have been born while the family was in England on the way to Virginia from Germany.NOTE: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ancestral File (R); ;
