  Notes	Rev. Walker Tolliver/Taliaferro: Enslaved as a child, born in 1854 in or near Madison, Caroline County, VA. His surname is recorded as Tolliver/Taliaferro, which was likely adopted post-emancipation. His parents were Walker Sr. and Patsy Williams Taliaferro. Patsy Williams Taliaferro: The daughter of Letty Hart (also referred to as Letty Flippo in some documents). Patsy’s surname, Williams Taliaferro, appears consistent throughout records. There’s no indication she was ever recorded as Patsy Flippo. The document does not suggest that Patsy herself used Flippo as a surname, only that her mother, Letty, might have been referred to as Letty Flippo in certain records. Patsy was enslaved by the Flippo family and possibly by other members of the Wright family. Letty Hart (Letty Flippo): Letty is Patsy Williams Taliaferro's mother and was born around 1800, passing away around 1900. The document suggests that Letty might have been referred to as Letty Flippo in some records, which could have occurred because she was enslaved by the Flippo family. However, her original surname appears to be Hart, and it is not clear whether she consistently used or was recorded as Flippo. This points to the common practice where enslaved individuals were sometimes referred to by the surnames of their enslavers, but that doesn't mean they adopted these names permanently or considered them part of their identity. Walker J. Taliaferro Sr.: Walker Sr., husband of Patsy Williams Taliaferro, is referenced in the 1853 insurance policy held by Littleton Flippo. This reinforces his status as an enslaved person within the Flippo household, but it doesn't indicate that Walker Sr. ever bore the Flippo surname. Enslavers: Albert R. Flippo (A. Flippo): Likely the A. Flippo referenced as enslaving Rev. Walker Tolliver/Taliaferro and his family in 1866. Littleton Flippo: Another enslaver, who in 1853 insured the life of a man named Walker, likely Walker Sr. This again ties the Flippo family to the enslavement of Patsy Williams Taliaferro’s family. Horace Wright: Mentioned alongside A. Flippo as another enslaver of the Taliaferro family (including Rev. Walker) in 1866. The Wright family may have had joint ownership or involvement with the Flippo family in enslaving these individuals. Addison Flippo and Fanny McKenna: These individuals are mentioned as enslaving members of the African-American Flippo/Flipper families in Caroline County, though no direct connection to Patsy Williams Taliaferro or Letty Hart is specified.
