The TALIAFERRO family has since near the beginning of the history of the Virginia Colony been an influential and cultured family. The name is pronounced as though it were spelled "TOLIVER." A friend of mine in Abilene named TALIAFERRO whose physician husband was at one time on the city council says that they listed their telephone number under both spellings for public access. Now that they are no longer in the public spotlight to that extent and have the listing only under the proper spelling, good friends cannot find them in the phone book.

The legend as to the beginning of the family name is that Julius CAESAR, while inspecting the Roman military camp at Gaul at twilight, was surrounded by hostile Gaelic warriors. CAESAR's bravery caused the leader of the band to spare his life. In the course of time that leader, himself a captive of CAESAR, was freed and made a personal attendant of CARSAR. Although Romans only were permitted to bear arms, an exception was made for that Gaelic leader, and he became known by the latin names of "telum" or dart, and "ferro" which means "to bear." [NOTE]

The family has been prominant for many years; the favorite wife of King John of England was Isabel, daughter of County Aymer de TAILLEFER, the swordsmith. And to get to the ancestry we can trace, we have to move forward only about three hundred years.

Born in Venice, Italy. Lived in various parishes in London until his death. Buried September 22, 1601, at St. Olave's Hart Street London.

Married Joane Lane on 1 JAN 1583 at St. Michaels, Cornhill, London, England.
