| The Name and Family of Tall(e)y The name of Talley or Tally is believed by some historians to be derived from the French name of Tallie, while others state that it was taken from the ancient French word taillis, meaning;a copse or grove, because of the residence of its first bearers at a place of that description. It is from the last source that the English family of Tallis took it's name, and it is believed possible that this surname may have become Americanized to Talley. The baptismal name of Bartholomew was frequently shortened in early times to Tholy or Tholyn, and it is considered probable that the Tolleys or Tollys derived their name from this source. But the two last-mentioned forms are used interchangeably with Talley and Tallly in the early American records. Yet another possible derivation is from the residence of its first bearers in the Welsh town of Talley. Among the many early variants of the name are Taillis, Tailles, Tallis, Tallys, Toly, Toli, Taly, Tollye, Tallie, Tallye, Tailley, Talleye, Taulley, Tholy, Tholyn, Tolly, Tolley, Tally, Talley and others, of which the two spellings last mentioned are those most generally used in America today, while the two immediately preceding them are also frequently found. Of the English family of Tallis, there is recorded in the year of 1273 of one Richard Tailles, of County Cornwall. In the early sixteenth century one Thomas Tallis of Tallys, a noted composer of the cathedral music, who is believed to have been born about the year 1514 and to have died about 1585, was living in England; and about 1698 one Aaron Tallis was living in London. The first records of the Toll(e)y family in England are those of Douce Toly, of Cambridgeshire, in 1273; those of Stephen Toli, of Cambridgeshire, about the same time; and those of Johanna and William fil. Tholy, who were living in the thirty-ninth year of the reign of Henry the Third. At a later dale there was a Mary Tolley living at London. These records are, however, only fragmentary. It is not definitely known whether the early American families of the name of Talley were of English or French descent, but it seems probable that all of the families of the name were of common origin at a remote period, probably being originally French and later going into England and thence to America. The first of the name in America were Elizabeth Tally, of Henrico County, VA, in 1636; Elias Talley, of Charles City County, VA, in 1637; and Eliza Talley, of James City County, VA, in 1638. No definite records, however, have been found concerning their immediate families or descendants. Compiled by the Media Research Bureau |
