Enslaved person named in the same recordsUnder Investigation· 0 sourcesNo verified portrait

Named alongside Hilliard in the 23 March 1855 notice of an ownership dispute concerning enslaved people held by the William Q. Taliaferro estate.

Kinship not established

This record documents a person named in the same documents as the family. No relationship to the Smith–Tolliver family has been established, and this person is not placed in the family lineage.

This record documents a historical connection to the Smith–Tolliver family's history. It does not document kinship, and this person is not part of the family lineage.

A shared surname does not establish kinship. Shared residence, shared county, appearance in the same record, or being enslaved by the same estate does not establish kinship. Surnames carried by formerly enslaved people frequently derive from the people who enslaved them, not from descent.

Any biological relationship would require its own documented claim, with its own evidence, published separately in the archive.
