That the Toliver name is from Taliferro is a new one to me. As I recall,
there was a Taliferro family early in VA. Being a Taylor name researcher, I
have given some small attention to "Taliferro".

There was a Duval/Duvall family in Charleston Sc in the 1800s. Of course,
Duval was an early governor of FLA, for whom the county "Duval" was named.
