What about Taliaferro County, pronounced by all 6 people that live there as tal-uh-ver. Weird as shite.
Perhaps the question should be why don't the people today pronounce it the same as the folks who have lived there for generations have pronounced it since it was founded back in the early 1800's....or why the Revolutionary War captain it was named after pronounced his last name that way....just as it had been pronounced in England since the 1500's....when it was adopted from an an Italian surname.
History...not weird...
If you're there and run into one of the 6 residents pronounce it as Tolliver so you don't appear uncouth.

Imagine how inbred those 6 people are now... Seriously though thanks for the info I never bothered to look it up. I’m down there a lot (photographing wildlife) and I’ve driven every road in the county. It’s crazy how many big white column antebellum homes you see way off the beaten path in that county. shite ton of rattlesnakes too.
I’m shocked that it has even less people than Echols Co. I guess western Echols is pretty much Valdosta suburb but eastern Echols seems like the final frontier.
