ArchivesTaft
My first name is Taft. I know that's usually a last name, but my parents named me after a little town in Tennessee. It's not much of a town, there's nothing there but a river, a post office, a gas station/grocery store and a farm that my family used to own.

Ezra Taft Benson, Secretary of Agriculture under President Eisenhower, was named after his grandfather, a Mormon pioneer. He was usually called "T" by his close family while growing up. Some of his descendants have shared the same name and have been called "Taft".
