Taillifer

Legg inn av Ford Mommaerts-Browne » 22 jun 2007 04:12:33

Many years, and a couple of lifetimes ago, I found a book in the stacks of the Nebraska State Historical Society, in Lincoln, that had a line from the Counts of Angouleme to the Tallifers and Talliferos of Virginia. At the time, I didn't have the time to copy any of it; (when I went out to ask whether they would re-open after lunch, I found out that it was, in fact, five minutes to five).
Does anyone know of this line, and whether it is acceptable?

There have been threads on this periodically since 1997 at least. The
Virginia Talliaferros likely come from the English family of that name
that were arrived in England in the 16th century in England, apparently
from Venice. Just earlier this year Tony Hoskins posted the ref. to the
article by Sir A. R. Wagner:

Sir Anthony Wagner and F.S. Andrus, , "The Origin of the family of
Taliaferro," _Virginia Magazine of History and Biography_ 77 (1969):
22-25.

The ancestor of the Virginia family, "Bartholomew Tallafer, Taliaferra,
Taliaferro, etc., a subject of the Duke of Venice, paid 20 shillings fir
Letters of Denization in England March 4, 1562."

Many, many people claim that this family descends from the counts of
Angouleme who used 'Taillefer' as a byname (not really a hereditary
surname in the modern style). I have seen nothing of any value on the
origins of the 16th-century family with this name.
