I'm not sure of the correct spelling but I did run across this name more than once in my Virginia research. My recollection is that the name came early to Virginia and was Florentine in origin. In Virginia it was pronounced "Tolliver". Very likely you will find your ancestress came from VA to KY. I know they were in the Tidewater area.

I'm assuming you were responding to my post, Richard? My ancestors -
the Hockadays did come from Virginia, yes, the Tidewater area. But
the line that I am directly related to migrated to Kentucky and then
shortly before the civil war, they migrated to Missouri - and then
eventually to Colorado. So, if the name Taliaferro was Florentine,
then it was Italian, but I found some sites on the web that elluded to
the fact that the name was actually either French or English, that's
what confused me.
