The Danner and Heath families are combined. Marrying into this branch of my husbands family , I was under the impression that the Danners had always been Methodist. In fairness they had been Methodist as long as the older generation could remember. However, the Danner's had been Baptist until the generation of Richard Munsie Danner. Grandpaw Danner and is buried at Clarksbury Methodist Church in Harmony, NC.

It is possible that John Adam Heath was the Heath from Stokes County that bought land from Joseph Banner. This would be in area of Old Town Rd. in Walnut Cove. Later land purchased in the Brook Cove area of Stokes County would find many with the last name of Heath.
William Penn Heath is listed as being born in Harmony. He is buried Holly Spring Baptist in Harmony. How is he connected, I do not know but I will enjoy this "puzzle".
