Becca Waid,

This Talifaro B. Chaffin (b-1812) is mentioned several times in land transactions with my Bourlands plus he was offically in an 1838 Texas militia with Bourland, but he is not listed in any other militia, which does not mean he did not serve. Many men, esp. older men, served unofficially in the home guard.
.
I think he probably lied about his age. In my militia listings, I have several men over age 60.
.
The family states that other names that he used were Toliver, Oliver, T.B., D.B., and Talifarreo.
