Looking for relatives with the surname of Toliver/Tolliver in Sumner County, Tennessee

Posted: 21 Feb 2012 5:57PM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Toliver/Tolliver (Taliaferro), Swaney, Brison
Anyone related to James Tolliver Sr. (1808 - ?) or his wife Millie Swaney (1818 - 1910), James Tolliver Jr. (1845 - 1921) or his wife Ritha Brison (1850 - 1936). Also with ancestral connection back to the Samoan Islands. According to my father (Willie Hart Toliver Sr.) and my aunt (his sister), ancestors of my Great-great-Grandfather, were brought over to America as indentured servants to some Presbyterian family, that settled in Tennessee. My aunt also told me that she was told or she heard that there might have been surname change from Taliaferro to Toliver/Tolliver. My grandfather (James Richard Toliver b. 18 Jan 1875 d. 22 Mar 1959) was born in Gallatin, Sumner, Tennessee. Both my Great-grandfather and Great-great-grandfather were born in Tennessee, and lived in Sumner County. Looking at the 1870 U.S. Census, I counted 12 people surnamed Toliver/Tolliver, and they were all related and I have linked down to my father and myself, they were living in District 3, Sumner, Tennessee.
