Another possible Gateway Ancestor

Legg inn av S.P. Prawel » 16 mai 2005 00:51:01

Hello-- Here's another possible gateway ancestor. Alexander Telfair
was born in Kirkcudbright,Scotland, the son of David Telfair and
Margaret Blair. David was Provost of Kirkcudbright and Margaret was the
grand daughter of David Dunbar of Baldoon. The Dunbar line goes way
back and includes the Stewarts, the Bruces and most all of the important
Scottish, English, Irish and the old Viking
families.
Alexander came to America in about 1750 with his brother and his Cousin
Edward Telfair. Edward was very active in politics and was a member of
the Contintal Congress and was the first Governor of Georgia after the
war. Unfortunately, his line died out tin the mid !800's. Alexander
settled in North Carolina and became the immigrant ancestor of most of
the Telfairs originating from the South Eastern USA.
