Dear Ed T
I can only tell you what I know....I lived there for several years and my
family lived there off and on from the 20s until late 70s.....the name for
the museum is spelled Taliferro and pronounced Toliver.....I also have
distant Georgia relatives (Fountains) who married into that family.
a John Fountain who was living in GA in the mid 1800s married a Betheathland
Jones who was the dau. of John Lawrence Jones and Lucy Taliaferro....J.L.
Jones was born 8 Dec. 1776 in Wilkinson GA and married Lucy Taliaferro in
1797 He died 1830. Lucy T. was born on 29 May 1780 in Surry N.C. and died
28 Feb. 1842...Lucy T.'s father was John Taliaferro born in Caroline VA on 7
Apr. 1733 and was married to Mary Hardin. She was born in Penna.
John's father was Richard Taliaferro who was born in 1706 and married Rose
Berryman ...

this material, unless otherwise noted, was obtaine d from an unpublished de
la Fontaine genealogy, Sutro Library San Francisco, DA Edgecombe County
Kinfolks by J.W. Watson..

Search in Savannah, and in N.C. and S.C.....as to punctuation I can say it
truthfully that the pronumciation there in Savannah was and is "Toliver."
