Hi, Gail; Is Thos Floyd's name actually Thomas Floyd? Bill >===== Original Message From SC-Genealogy-L@rootsweb.com ===== >Billie: >Have you ever noticed any one with the surname of Floyd listed in the >Probate section in SC records? > >I am trying with all my might to locate some sort of clue as to who Tho's >Floyd was who shows up in Colleton Co. on the 1850 census age 12 with I >suppose his Mother >Elizabeth Floyd age 30. I have a very strong feeling that perhaps his >Father died there. >I can't tell really because back on the 1840 it only lists heads of >household. > >One strong clue in my favor is this: >There were at least two Lewis Floyd men in the general area of SC in the >1840 Census and later on as an adult Tom {sic in GA} named a son Lewis M. >Floyd. > >So perhaps I seek the Probate records of a Lewis Floyd >In Horry Co. I found that year a J. L. Floyd so this could be Lewis on p. >337 a Lewis Floyd shows up on p. 325 that same census and a Lewis H. Floyd >shows up on p. 348 same census all in Horry Co. SC. > >Now the man Lewis H. Floyd shows up with 2 males under 5 and my Tho's would >be under 5 that year, himself being the male age 20-30 and one female age >5-10 and one female must be his wife age 20-30. > >I suspect this is them, but would need to know is this woman in age group >20-30 Elizabeth. >The Elizabeth with Tho's in Colleton the very next Census does show up as 30 >years old. So this does seem to fit. > >Can you please help me to find out if this is my Elizabeth mother of Tho's >Floyd and if perhaps this is the Tho's Floyd who grew up to be a lumber >Cutter and moved over into GA into Charleton Co. and also married a woman >named Elizabeth and had about six children in all. > >I have them in GA just can't place him before that for sure. > >Confused in Florida, >Gail > > > >==== SC-Genealogy Mailing List ==== >South Carolina Resources Available at RootsWeb! > >http://resources.rootsweb.com/USA/SC.html Alternate E-mail Address: wrs1940@netscape.net
