Biography
Lethe Tanner is Notable.
Alethia Tanner was an American educator. [1]
Alethia was born about 1781. She passed away about 1864.
Research Notes
- Profile of former enslaver Rachel (Belt) Pratt (abt.1743-abt.1834) is quite a tangle - wrong parents, correct son (Thomas George Pratt (1804-1869), former governer of MD). Duplicate profile for Rachel (Belt) Pratt: Rachell (Belt) Lucas (abt.1760-abt.1800) needs merged.
Wikipedia has her maiden name as Browning, but there is no evidence this is an accurate LNAB. Lethe was always referred to as Tanner in sources. However, an article about Lethe on Enslaved. org names Lethe and her sisters by the Browning surname (source below).
