Posted on: Wilkes Co. Ga Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Wilkes/10852 Surname: Taliaferro ------------------------- I am looking for letters by or about Col. Benjamin Taliaferro and his family. Col. Taliaferro served in the 2nd and 6th Regiments of the Virginia Continental line and briefly served in Georgia in 1779. He and his family migrated to Wilkes County in 1784. Col. Taliaferro served as a magistrate in Wilkes, as a state representative, state senator, a state superior judge and as a Congressman, elected in 1798. He died in 1821.
