Shriley : Having seen note of (?desc.Telfair in SC/Georgia) I googled the name and came up with the Charles Telfair sugar plantations in Mauritius, now part of a luxury holiday complex. Googling again, seems this one was an Ulsterman << TELFAIR, CHARLES c.1777-1833 Charles Telfair was born in Belfast and qualified as a surgeon. He settled in Mauritius and established a botanical garden, and sent many plant specimens to Kew Gardens. A botanical genus was named after him. He died in Port Louis. >> Just in case anyone on Wig. List is chasing this variant of the name. Betty ___________________________________________________________ The all-new Yahoo!
