My Great Grandfather (5 degrees) James Gilbert Tanner of Lynchburgh, Virginia was married to the most amazing woman, Ida Baskerville Seat Tanner.
During the 1908 book being published, "The History Of The Shearn Church", Ida had provided the author with detailed information of her Father, "Reverend William Henry Seat" as well as the beautiful charcoal portrait of the Reverend to be published.
Interestingly, in 1909, the honorable Reverend James Tanner passed. Ida persisted with her writings of the "Baskerville-Tanner" lineages and of the Royals of England.
The connections to the Houston cathedral, the "Shearn Church", the book and the fact that the Judge "Charles Shearn Family" married into the Galveston, Texas Family billionaires of "Charles Moody" is most interesting to this story of New England Churches, Reverends, Noble Europe and England's Royal Monarchy.
This powerful twist of events betwixt the heirs of Royal England and the New World Churches is most intriguing. There seems to have been an extreme "Power-Struggle" of the Holy Cathedral.
With historical family bibles holding personal and sometimes secretive information of the crown, it was as if there must have been a covert royal lineage they had concealed.
As the trail of heirs and Family Holy Bibles surfaced, people were amazed to find that their Colonial American ancestors had left them a fortune.
