Biography*13 June 1951  On June 13, 1951 Tina Floyd, his grandaughter,wrote to the Department of the Army requesting information on her grandfather's (Shade Floyd) military service. The following is the response she received: "The records show that Shade Floyd, private, Captain R.W.. Anderson's Battery, Palmer's Battalion Reserve Artillery, which subsequently became Captain Anderson's Battery, Georgia Light Artillery, Confederate States Army, enlisted 25 March 1864 at Dalton, Georgia. The company muster roll for November and December 1864, last on file, shows him present. He was paroled 2 May 1865 at Greensboro, North Carolina, in accordance with the terms of a Military Convention entered into 26 April 1865 between General Joseph E. Johnston, commanding confederate Army, and Major General W. T. Sherman, commanding United States Army in North Carolina." Signed, William E. Bergin, Major General USA

From unpublished records compiled by Lillian Henderson for the State of Georgia we learn that: Shade D. Floyd enlisted as a private in Company B 14th Battalion Georgia Light Artillery on March 25, 1864. He surrendered at Greensboro, North Carolina April 26, 1864. The captain of this company was Thomas H. Dawson.
A letter addressed to Mr. Ruel Anderson of Hawkinsville, Georgia dated February 14, 1951 seeks information about Shade Floyd's service in Capt. Ruel Anderson's regiment. Addressee is the grandson of Capt. Anderson. The response is a short note stating: Your grandfather (Mr. Shade Floyd) was in my father company, Anderson's Battery. They fought in the Battle of Chattanooga and Missionary Ridge and the Battle of Atlanta and New Hope Church, Jonesboro, Georgia and other battles on down through Georgia. Signed by what appears to be Harriet (last name illegible) Note: perhaps she is the daughter of the Captain. The Civil War Records at the Georgia Department of Archives and History show S.D. Floyd receiving an Indigent Pension on the basis of service in Company B. of Montgomery's Artillery. It was signed by him with an "X" on September. 13, 1901 and states that he was born on June 22, 1845 in Pulaski Co., Georgia, was with Company B in Dalton, Georgia on December 1863 also in Anderson's Battery. He served nearly two years and surrendered in Greensboro, NC. April 1865. He based application for pension on infirmity and poverty. "I was wounded during the war in the hip and have never been entirely well since - have frequent attacks of Rheumatism - general breaking down. Possess no property (none shown for years 1894-1899) and am supported by the labor of "my two sons" In response to the question of "Do you have a homestead?" he replied "No". The affidavit was witnessed by J.C. Grimsley who said he enlisted with S. D. and served with him, surrendered with him at Greensboro and has lived within three miles of him for forty years.

Physicians Affidavit - Description of precise physical condition ".. Struck by a shell at Savannah, Ga. in 1864 during an engagement, as result has never been strong and vigorous since. Since then he has suffered with general debility from soul(?), also suffers from recurrent attacks of Rheumatism. Pension was recorded as received in 1902-1906 starting at age 56.

Shade Floyd must have been embarrassed to ask for this indigent pension which required the acknowledgement and witness of his neighbors. The fact that it was needed, and that he was reduced to the level of requesting a pension gives a hint of the emotional and economic damage imposed on a whole generation by the terrible Civil War. What would Shade think if he could know that his suffering would be discovered and memorialized more than one hundred years after its occurrence? Would he recognize that his humiliating act which would be so carefully recorded in the state archives would upon its discovery shed a bright spot light on the most tragic and dark period of southern history? In an unwitting way, Shade's story like the story of his grandparents, Fed and Mourning Floyd serves to illuminate our past. Just as Frederick and Mourning were unknowing contributors to a history they could not read. And, just as their daughter, Francis Mary Ann became an accidental recorder of history when she chose to record her family's births in the Floyd family Bible, so too was Shadrach's act of humiliation became a key piece to a larger puzzle of life. Because of his need for the pension, and because of the state's persistent need to supply documention and affidavits his descendants can better know and appreciate the heritage won for us at so great a cost. Shade Floyd owned no land, left no possessions and held no office, but he did not live in vain.

The few family stories told in the mid twentieth century indicate that when Shadrick Floyd returned from the war, the only job available was that of filling stump holes on the farm of his half brother, Everett Floyd. Considering the devastation done to the South's economy by the war it is plain that Shade would have counted himself fortunate to have even this job for support. As a young man of only twenty years who had already experienced the traumas of life, Shade married Eliza Davis on July 1, 1866. Eliza was from a large family who lived near the area of the hauntingly beautiful moss-draped cypress swamp known as Bush's Mill. Eliza would die prematurely at the age of thirty-eight and only four of her children would survive her. The four were named: Archie, Anna Letitia (Sis), Mary Elizabeth (Babe), and James Edward who was born on March 25, 1875.

Shade also worked in a turpentine still. The distillation of turpentine is tough and dirty work involving a difficult procedure. Perhaps the sight of his father working so hard for someone else was a strong lesson for James Edward Floyd. He grew up in poverty, saw what it was like not to own land, and even knew the feeling of living in a home that belonged to someone else. Perhaps these are the lessons that forged the desire for a better life that would carry the next generation of the family into the twentieth century as land-owning successful businessmen. For the Civil War veteran, Shade Floyd, life never got much better. The turpentine still at Bailey's Park was within walking distance of the Everett Floyd place. Everett was Shade's half brother, and it was upon a piece of Everett's land that Eliza Davis Floyd, Shade's wife, was buried at a time of the year when the dogwood trees were their most glorious. What powerful feelings must have passed through the hearts of this family, emotions magnified to double size for the youngest son, James Edward Floyd who was only thirteen years old when his mother died? Certainly the events of his parents lives contributed to his discipline and conviction and the self-sufficiency that would be so evident throughout his life.

The year Shade's son, James Edward, was born (1876) was the Centennial celebration of the United States. It was a watershed time in American history with the industrial revolution becoming commonplace even in rural Georgia. The old pioneer ways were being swept out the door and the twentieth century was puffing into town on the train that ran so close to Bailey's Park. It was here around the turpentine industry that Shade Floyd found employment. The woods were full of the pine trees and a turpentine still was erected to harvest the sap which was shipped out on the railroad. As was common around industries, the owner of the company erected houses for his employees. Since there is good family tradition that Shadrick Floyd was employeed by the still, it is therefore, quite possible that he and his family inhabited one of the company houses. 
EMAIL*February 2001  Shadrack (Shade) Floyd is reported to have had a hot temper. He is quoted as having said: “If madness could be connected to steam, mine could pull a freight train loaded with buckshot.”.15 
Note*2002  This note from Shade's grandaughter, Annette Kaplan, describes BAILEY'S PARK. The only thing I rememberer from my childhood is that there was a small country store there and at election time it was a precinct where they counted the paper ballots and checked for Pole tax and Papa, James Edward Floyd, was always one of the officials at election time. There was also a swimming pool fed by boiling springs of icy cold, crystal clear water at the bottom of the hill with a changing room bath house for males and one side for females and we used to dive off the top into the pool. This all indicates to me that it was a small recreation area.
Civil War Memorial*November 2002  In November 2002 at Bleckley County, GA, In 2002, the work begun fifty years earlier by Tina Floyd was completed with the installation of a Civil War marker on Shade Floyd's grave. About 100 family members attended the ceremony which was marked by a canon salute from the local Civil War Historical group.
