I am looking for any and all Wallace or Floyd surnames in or near the Ash Grove area. Thanks. Ed Crabtree - KCMO familyhistorian@kc.rr.com (previously ewcrabtree@prodigy.net) http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/c/r/a/Edward-W-Crabtree-MO/
Hi Ed, We've corresponded before, so I'm posting this just for general information. I am the gg granddaughter of Nancy Jane Floyd, a sibling of your ancestor. I suppose your's was Mary Elizabeth Floyd, who married a Wallace. Their father was Ash Peter Floyd, who had land grants in Calloway Co, MO, and in Lawrence Co, MO. Ash Peter Floyd was born in Beaufort Co, NC, in 1804. His parents were Ann Bonner and Peter Floyd. There is a will on record in Beaufort Co, NC, which documents this. The Bonners were quite an important family there, and Peter Floyd seems to have been an important landowner also. I haven't traced the connection further, but there is a historic, visitable "Bonner house" in Bath, NC, the oldest town in North Carolina. At least two Bonners from Beaufort Co, NC, commanded troops in the Revolutionary War. Ash Peter Floyd is buried in the Kelley Cemetery near Ash Grove. His second wife, Delilah ? was living with my gg grandparents in the 1870 or 1880 census. I'm not sure where she was buried. You can find Ash Peter Floyd in the 1850 Lawrence Co, MO, census, under the name, "Asher Floyd." My gg grandfather, Young Waddle and his wife, Nancy Jane Floyd, were living nearby, probably on Ash Peter's land. Young's brother, David, was living there as well.
