REV. T. F. TALIAFERRO was born in Campbell County, Ky., March 1, 1847,
and is the youngest of three children of W. R. and Harriet (McGrew)
Taliaferro, the others being W. R., Jr., and Lydia B. Southgate.  His
father was born in Caroline County, Va., a son of Robert, and his
mother was a Miss Taylor, sister of Gen. Taylor, of Virginia.  W. R.
Taliaferro was always engaged in agricultural pursuits.  He moved to
Kentucky with his mother in 1814, and settled near Newport, where he
still lives, and where the subject of this sketch was born.  His mother
was born in Kentucky, a daughter of Thomas McGrew, who came to Kentucky
at quite an early day.  Our subject was educated at the Kentucky
Wesleyan College, Mollersburg [sic].  In 1870 he commenced to preach
the gospel in the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and his first work
was the Independence Circuit, of Kenton County, Ky., where he labored
in 1871-72; then labored in Owen County in 1872-73; in Bracken County
in 1873-74; Petersburg, Boone County, in 1874-75, and then in
Perryville, Boyle County.  Up to this period he was an undergraduate in
conference, and they usually stay but one year in each place.  In 1875
Mr. Taliaferro graduated, but remained in Perryville, Boyle County,
until 1878.  He was then sent to Oldham County, on the Floydsburg
Circuit, where he remained until 1881.  He next went to Falmouth, the
county seat of Pendleton County, where he remained until 1885; thence
to Hillsboro, Fleming County, and in 1886 was sent to New Castle, his
present field of labor.  Mr. Taliaferro is identified with all

enterprises looking to the advancement of the material prosperity of the
community in which he lives, and in the many places in which he has
labored has always been held in the highest esteem.  October 30, 1872,
he married Miss Mary J. Summers, of Newport, Ky., an educated and
accomplished lady, a daughter of George W. Summers, of Nicholas County,
Ky.  Two children have blessed their union: Maud M. and Hallie B.
History is now being made for the future, and, as prohibition is soon
to become the great question in Kentucky, and in the Nation, Mr.
Taliaferro would like to be put upon record in this sketch on that
subject.  He has for years been an earnest advocate of the prohibition
of, the manufacture and sale of ardent spirits as a beverage, or rather
a submission of that question to the vote of the people, believing it
to be the curse of our land, and the rock upon which the "ship of State"
will finally wreck, unless it is gotten out of the way.  He has
earnestly advocated this doctrine from pulpit and platform.

SAMUEL W. TALIAFERRO is a resident of Guthrie Precinct, and lives upon the
farm where he was born April 15, 1843.  He is the fifth child of a family
of six, born to Samuel W. and Sallie (Moore) Taliaferro.  The father was
born in Albemarle County, Va., July 19, 1798.  In youth he came to Greene
[sic] County, Ky., a few years later he came to Todd County and settled on
this farm, where his widow now resides; he died October 11, 1879.  On
coming here he worked at the brick-laying trade, and at the end of a few
years had earned sufficient means to buy 150 acres of land, which has since
been increased to about 500 acres; he applied himself diligently to
agricultural pursuits, and as a result was enabled to leave his surviving
children each a handsome legacy; he was rigidly honest and exacting, both
as to paying and collecting honest debts.  An incident may be related which
goes to show his honesty.  In 1819 he borrowed from a young man a pair of
saddle-bags and an umbrella in Kentucky, to take on his trip to Virginia.
On his return to Kentucky the young man was gone, and could not be found;
after a lapse of over fifty years, he accidentally heard that this friend
was living in Hart County, Ky., these articles being worth abut $8, Mr.
Taliaferro computed the interest for this length of time with the
principal, and deputized a Methodist preacher to call on this man and pay
him for these articles with interest; he at first refused but was finally
persuaded to accept pay.  Though naturally indisposed to give, he had
become by the grace of God, one of the largest, most regular and reliable
contributors to the enterprises of the church (Methodist Episcopal Church
South), with which he was connected.  He was married June 24, 1829, to
Sallie (McClung) Moore; she was born in August, 1804, in VIrginia; her
parents were David Moore and Jennie McClung; they came to what is now Todd
County in 1807, and settled near Trenton on Spring Creek; this family
consisted of ten children: Polley, Jennie, Nancy, Isabella, Andrew, David,
Patsey, John, Betsey and Sallie; the latter is the only surviving member
of this family and mother of six children: David, for the past thirty
years a resident of Warren County, Ill.; Isabella, Samuel W., Frank,
Leroy and Sallie Mac.  Leroy died July 18, 1859, aged twenty-four; Samuel
W. was married in 1870 to Alice Millen of Todd County; she died June 11,
1880, leaving two children: Samuel W. and Jennie Mac.  S. W. owns the farm
known as the Squire Terry Place, which consists of 450 acres, and also has
charge of his mother's farm.  About six years ago he engaged in breeding
Jersey cattle and Poland China pigs; his herd of cattle is valued now at
about $10,000.  See portrait of S. W. Taliaferro, Sr. on another page.
