It appears from Will records in Edgefield County, SC that the Taliferro (Toliver) Cox families moved back and forth between Richmond Co, GA and Edgefield Co., SC.. Other families may have too, and so Edgefield County, SC is another possible place to look for information on the Richmond County, GA families)
