| Biography* | 1999 | James Albert Floyd looked less like the Floyds than most. His hair was jet black and his features sharp. Early in his marriage he lived in the oldest house in the county. The house still stands at the edge of Morris Floyd's property and is occupied by a black family. During Albert's occupancy the very rustic living room/bedroom was adorned with a blue velvet sofa. Both of Albert's daughters grew to be fine ladies of Cochran. Cookie became the outstanding teacher for the county and Gwendolyn had a noteworthy career in business. Here is what his sister Mary says of him:As I remember James Albert Floyd he was tall, dark, and very handsome!! Yes, he did not have the fair, freckly skin that most of us (or some of us) had. He had that skin that would tan easily and as a grown man usually had a little sharp mustache and sometimes smoked a pipe and to me that was the making of a "sexy looking man." Albert was married to Lilly May and for the life of me I cannot think of her maiden name. Now back to Albert, when he decided to marry all three boys proposed to their girlfriends and all got married at the same time (If I remember correctly). If someone with a better memory than mine disputes this - take their word rather than mine. |

| Biography* | 1988 | INTRODUCTION FROM A TALK GIVEN BY MVW AT FLOYD FAMILY REUNION Perhaps one of the most thrilling moments we as individuals experience is finding for the first time a connection between ourselves and our extended family of ancestors. We seem to feel a sense of belonging, of permanence, of worth, of psychic satisfaction in knowing that we are part of an ancient genetic line, that some of our own personal quirks and foibles are shared by some distant relative in the past, and that those same happy or embarassing quirks and foibles will be shared by another in the future. Oliver Wendell Holmes, the 19th century American writer, became enchanted with the orgins of his own pecularities and inclinations and finally settled upon this charming explanation: "My character or nature is made up of infinite particles of inherited tendencies from my ancestors - a little seed of lazines came from this grandfather, some remote grandmother has stamped me with a fear of dogs and a love of horses; there may be in me a bit of outlawry from a pirate forefather, and a dash of piety from one who was a saint. My so-called particularities, my gestures, my ways and manners, I borrow them all, without exceptions. So everything in me passes on through my children. I am sewn between ancestry and posterity." It is the nature of man to wonder why and for what purpose - to keep on trying in the face of enormous difficulty and sometimes to become despondent at the lack of answers to the the questions. Perhaps a bit of reflection on being "sewn between ancestry and posterity" will ease the burden of "whys". Consider for a moment how important we are to our ancestors. They have never known us - in fact could only have guessed at us and yet without us they could not be linked to the future. Consider also that, hard as it may seem, each of us will one day be an ancestor for generations yet unborn. Having been given an awarness of our position between ancestry and posterity, we have an obligation to leave our descendents a proper record of ourselves, and the best starting point for the story is today. Lets look around the room today for we are all here descended from James Edward and Annie Holland Floyd. They are no longer here, but there children remain and the mark they made on Bleckley County Georgia remains a reminder of the individual worth of each of us. Ed and Annie produced a normal farm family of twelve children seven of whom are here today. Let us begin to tell our story and leave our record by telling a bit about each of the Floyd kids here today. First, there is Aunt Shug, Viola, and I won't tell you when she was born, but I believe it was before the automobile was invented and before the Wright Brothers flew at Kitty Hawk. She's seen a lot and is still going strong. She told a story about having to run away from home to get married because her parents did not approve of her husband, Lucian Berryhill. If any of you kids of today think your parents are tough, just talk with Aunt Shug. She'll understand. Next is Uncle Buddy. Has anyone eve seen Uncle Buddy upset, angry or anything other than steady and reliable? I think he is one of those "saints" that Oliver Wendall Holmes mentioned in the little quote I read you. He is everyone's perfect grandpa. Uncle Herschel is the seventh child of Ed and Annie Floyd. He grew up to be a politician of sorts. Back in the fifties he though so much of the race for the governor of the state of Georgia that he entered his mule "Rufus" as a candidate. Guess you know what he thought of the competition for the position. Herschel is Jerry's father it is through Jerry's sons, Lance and Jason that the Floyd name will be carried into the 21st century. You can think of the next three children, Annette, Mary and LaVerne as the three muskateers of the Floyd family. Is there any adventure these three have not experienced either alone or as a trio? Annette and Mary are about to strike out for Egypt to see the pyramids. This is a follow-up to their recent expedition across the United States. One wonders what Ed Floyd would think of his two girls wandering across the globe? LaVerne has owned more houses, businesses and had more husbands than anyone else in the family. There's no need to reveal the girl's ages, except to note that they are all over sixty. If you young people among us do in your lifetime half of what these three do in one year, you are in for a big life. Uncle Aaron is another steady male Floyd. He is probably best known for all the good looking women in his household. He has the most and the best looking females. Wouldn't Ed and Annie be amazed at their children if they could be here now? We are here today to rekindle our friendships, to remember our heritage and to encourage interest in the family among our children. Don't forget that we are caught in the fabric of ancestry and posterity and without us the fabric would not be whole. That's reason enough for each of us to get out of bed each morning. NOTE: in 1998 the three muskateers took a trip to Greece together and in 1999 Annette and Mary became computer literate. Not bad for eighty year old ladies. James Edward Floyd know by all as Ed Floyd was the son on a Civil War veteran who never owned his own land. His father, Shadrack Floyd, grew up knowing a grandfather named Amos Kinchen Floyd and all the many aunts, uncles and cousins associated with the ever-expanding Floyd family of Pulaski County, Georgia. Throughout his childhood he heard stories told and retold of the family's arrival in Georgia from North Carolina, but like most children he found it difficult to comprehend any period of time predating his grandfather Amos. Somehow, history seemed completely centered around his grandfather who was sixty years old when James was born and must have seemed quite ancient. It is easy to see how James Floyd could assume that this old man must have been the original settler from North Carolina who brought the family to Georgia. When he was approached in the mid 1950's and asked to contribute a family history for publication in the story of Pulaski/Bleckley County, no doubt he thought it was quite accurate to state that his grandgather, Amos Kinchen was the original pioneer from North Carolina who arrived to settle the newly opened Indian lands the fall between the Ocmulgee and Oconee Rivers in Georgia. James was wrong about his family. His ancestors from North Carolina was in fact one of the earliest settler of the new Georgia County of Pulaski, Federick and Mourning Floyd. Travel frequently dictates the breadth of a mind and imagination. The life of a middle Georgia farmer in the beginning of the twentieth century was restricted to the distance that could be covered round trip in one day from the home place. A farmer seldom spent a night away from home for the animals needed constant and daily attention. Without access to television and only a local newspaper for information, it is not surprising that James Edward Floyd, would have a restricted view of his roots. Lacking education and the broad vision of travel, it is most likely that he did not have a complete awareness of the intricate web of people full of courage, foresight and even wealth whose very lives had brought him to Georgia. Certainly, "Ed" never knew that his third great grandfather, Abraham Bass, was a large land owner in North Carolina, and certainly he had no comprehension of the long journey from North Carolina that his great grandparents, Mourning Bass and Federick Floyd made when they embarked for the "new frontier" of Georgia. One memory, however, was very clear to him. The Civil War had been such a disruptive force that the stories of its effect were widely known to Ed. He knew of the suffering the the war brought to his family and of the physical and mental cruelty of the war. He told his children how, when the war ended, his father, Shadrach was left a prisoner in Greensboro, North Carolina with only one means of transportation home, his own feet. Ed Floyd may have lacked detailed knowledge of his distant origins, but the parts of his history that he did know left an indelible mark. He had known the effect of the war's impoverishment and of his own father's lack of land and a mother's early death. This knowledge left him with a strong hunger for a better future. He was living in an America of visions and hope and dreams could be as large as the July sky. The past taught James Edward Floyd to want land of his own, proper equipment and a good family strong with discipline. His first priority would be a suitable wife and he found her in Annie Jane Holland who he called the "prettiest girl in the county". In marrying Annie he knew that he was getting a prize for not only was she pretty, but patient and strong as well. Their meeting was a natural product of an earlier courtship between Ed's brother, Arch Floyd and Annie's older sister, Margaret Juliette. The older couple married on November 28, 1897 and in the early spring on March 27, 1898 just as the piney woods filled with dogwood, Ed and Annie were married, set up housekeeping and birthed the first of their twelve children in March of 1900. The start of the twentieth century was a grand new beginning for the Floyd family. It was a time to break with the landlessness of the past and through hard work and perserverence to enter the modern world. Annie and Ed Floyd's first child, a daughter, was named Viola, but called "Shug" was born with the new century. Perhaps this sweet name was conferred by a doting grandmother or Aunt who found her "sweet as sugar". Indeed this was a special child whose birth preceded the automobile, the airplane, electricity, the telephone, television, radio and even the right of women to vote. This was a child who would come to represent the twentieth century for the Floyd family for she would live through all of it ----- and in her lifetime she would see men go to the moon, open her own business, defy her parents and marry a man for love, not support and always with a grace and patience that reflected her name. If Viola was the first of the new century, James Edward Floyd and his wife Annie were the last of a the old one. They were the last to use a mule for ploughing, the last to pay for everything in barter or cash, to live primarily from their land and the last to remember the south when it seemed the an outpost of civilization. Their children would see the development of the south as a major region of the country responsible for a hugh portion of the economic growth and heir to the blessings and responsibilities of the 20th century. Atlanta would explode into an international city connected by air with all the capitals of the world and a Mecca for businesses seeking to reap the benefits of climate, topography, life style and opportunity for economic growth. Indeed its very history prepared the South for its rise to stardom in the final third of the 20th century. For just as Annie and Ed Floyd sometimes burned the stubble in their fields in order to add freshness and vigor to the plantings of the following season, so too did Sherman's burning of Atlanta add the enrichment and renewed vigor of a fresh start to the town. The new Atlanta grew as a young lady determined to develop beyond the provincial town of her childhood. She used the chaos and disruption of her formative years to forge a character both beautiful and progressive. Looking back was not her style - only the future mattered. It was the stress of the past, the loss and the hope that caused the new south as personified in Atlanta to flower into full maturity as the century closed. In fact, a new "Miss America" was chosen on the day in October of 1990 when the announcement came from far-away Japan that "the International Olympic Committee has chosen for the 1996 Olympics... (and there followed the longest five second pause in the history of the city). ATLANTA, GEORGIA!". The town and the south roared with joy as though all of the past had been directed to this very moment and this very goal. Atlanta would be a good home to Annette's children and grandchildren. Annie and Ed Floyd like many of their neighbors were part of this past and their immediate descendants would live to savor the satisfactions of goals reached, battles won and the endless possibilities for a future of enlightenment. Indeed the adventures and development of the twelve Floyd children from Bleckley County, Georgia parallels and mirrors the developments that were happening to their south. Watch the children grow and you watch the South grow as well. Both started the century as barefoot country kids who walked to school. In 1990 a reunion of the family at the home place of Annie and Ed revealed well-dressed, educated adults with sophisticated tastes and a vast array of travel experiences. Annie Floyd seldom left Bleckley County except for one notable trip to Washington, D.C.. where Ed and Annie Floyd proudly posed in their "Sunday best" in front of the United States Capitol Her children would visit China, Egypt, Europe and the Orient - places that Annie barely knew. Just as the South started the 20th century as a backwater area of barefoot dirt roads and matured into the glorious adult of Atlanta, so too did the Floyd family blossom from the soil of Georgia. Listen to the tale of the Floyd children as their fortunes will put flesh on the bones of the South. Just as Federick and Mourning Floyd led the family from North Carolina to the new hope of Georgia at the begining of the nineteenth century, so too would the J.E. Floyd family lead the way into the new world order of the twenty first century. The twentieth century was a gestation period in which great growth takes place in a hidden environment and then suddenly breaks through the shell and erupts full-grown into the world. This growth period took place in a small segment of Bleckley County in Georgia. Where a look at a map dated 1908 shows Ed Floyd living in the very place where his home stands still in 1992. The land in the early days did not belong to Ed for he was a tenant of James Smith. Being the son of a landless veteran meant that Ed needed time to accumulate capital to buy a farm. And, bit by bit he acquired land until circumstances improved enough that the old house could be replaced not once but twice. Typical of the time, Ed Floyd cut the lumber for the new home right on the place and allowed it to cure in the barn for a year before starting construction. True to his thrifty nature, he did not build until he had saved the materials and the cash for the new house. When construction began, the family moved down the road to a little one room house. Soon all the remains of the original home were removed except for the well, and like the growth of the spring crops, the new home sprang quickly from the ground complete with wrap-around porch, two swings, high ceilings, a patterned wood floor in the parlor, wide center hall and a spacious kitchen. The windows were large for summer ventilation and the whole structure nestled under a tin roof that gave a merry sound in a rain storm. What a palace this was! In fact, it was one of the best homes in the county. Later additions of a pond for Annie the devoted fisherman, the smokehouse for curing bacon, an outdoor kitchen, several barns and an outhouse made the place close to self-sufficient. Pecan trees shaded the back and provided winter delicacies, and across the front of the house were planted four live oak trees named Shug, Buddy, Tina and Maureen. (A visit to the "home place" in the summer of 1992 with Shug (Viola) revealed that only the Shug oak still stands.)  1947 FLOYD FAMILY REUNION Image credit: Picasa 2.0      Floyd Home  Mary Elizabeth Woodrough |

| Anecdote* | 2002 | In 2002 Annette Floyd Kaplan was asked about "Bailey's Park" and the following is her response. Bailey's Park: My first recollection of Bailey's Park as a child is that is where Papa went on election day to collect poll taxes from the voters and help run the election and see that no one voted who was not eligible to vote. Bailey's Park as I remember consisted of two or three houses, one of which was a nice two story house made of dressed lumber, as opposed to rough sawn boards which was the normal type of construction. and a small country store where the precinct for the elections for the Limestone community were held. Until our new house was built the house at Bailey's Park was the best one in the community and Uncle Archie and Aunt Julietts was second best (it actually had wall paper in at least one of the bedrooms) I remember because I heard them talk about how you could not get rid of bedbugs with wallpaper on the walls for you could not scald down the walls and kill them. Colored people papered their walls with! newspapers and whatever else they could get their hands on in order to help keep the cold wind from blowing through the cracks. Those houses were always alive with bedbugs. I do not know who the original owners of Baileys Park were but judging by the surroundings they must have been well to do. At the bottom of the hill behind the main house, was a swimming pool which was fed by many boiling springs and the water was icy cold and would turn your lips blue in a very short time. There were two dressing rooms at one end of the pool--one for males and one for females. So it must have been some kind of public recreation area. The first people I remember living there were the Newmans'--renters--one of their daughters, Lola May married our cousin Joe Floyd, brother of Morgan Floyd. A few years later after Uncle Archie died and lost his farm, Aunt Juliette and her family moved into the big house and Bud and Cora Lee moved into one of the smaller ones and Efford and his wife moved into another one of the small houses. It was during this time that I swam at the pool. Shug would drive out from town in the afternoon and we would all go to the pool. Prior to that time we swam in the Jackhole (located beyond what would lbecome Annie's Pond). Now, where is Bailey's Park--stand on Wayne's front porch and face Annie's house - go down the road to the right about a mile until the road deadends at the Chicken road at Limestone Church. Turn left and go about the distance of three or four blocks and on the left is what was known as Bailey's Park. (You went there when you went to church with Gwen and Cookie.) I do not know where the two-grave cemetery is. I am sending a copy of this to Bob in hopes he will query his mother and see if she may shed any further light on who owned the Park and about Shack Vickers and his family. |

| BirthIlleg | 1840 | In 1840 at Pulaski County, GA, Daniel Webb was not the father of Everett Floyd, as far as I know. No one knows who Everett Floyd's father was, or if they do know, they are not telling. I suspect some of those folks (the Dykes family) in Cary know but are continuing to keep a lid on it. In 1850, nine-year-old Everett Floyd was living in the house with Washington J. Floyd, his wife Susan Lister Floyd and mother Mourning Bass Floyd somewhere out there on the Ouchee Trail about five miles from Cochran. This was after Everett's mother, Nancy, married Daniel Webb. Everett does not appear on the bastard list in Pulaski County, but that does not mean he was not illegitimate. Unmarried Nancy Floyd give birth to Everett about 1840. She later married Daniel Webb. Someone connected with genealogy once told me that having at least one illegitimate child was common in those days for unmarried women. It was called an early form of social security. And Nancy's plan worked perfectly. When she became aged she lived with son Everett and his wife Mary Scarborough Floyd. This story could make a good book. |

| Note* | 2003 | A note from Annette Kaplan to Bob Bridger: Dear Bob I knew your Grandfather, Uncle Everett Floyd but did not remember his wife's name. When Uncle Everett's place was sold, Papa bought the piano. I remember the name Staff Davis but can't connect him with anyone --I sort of thought he was Uncle Everett's son but then he would have been a Floyd. In the old picture Margo sent all of us of the mule Molly and Uncle George and Aunt Susan Davis Floyd, the lady looking out the window was named Elafair with a number of other names, none of which was Bloodworth. I am sure there was a relationship as Elafair was not a very common name, The photo was taken in about 1870/80 so the text with it says. I remember Cousin Zachariah (we called him zacky and sometimes Jackie) Cousin Mildred Davis. They were the parents of Marylou Collins and Hazel Davis_________who moved off to Atlanta. Marylou Collins lived on the road between Limestone and Hawkinsville. I never remembered that we were related to Dandy Kimberly although I believe I heard Buddy (Arthur Edward Floyd) my brother speak of this. Do you know the names of all of Uncle Everetts Children? I remember Chalmers, Laura, Manella Walker (who was a girl) and married Clifford Davis, had three children I knew-- Cecil, Jack, and Mary. So good to hear from you. Keep up the good work and I hope you find Elafair. Your cousin--Annette Kaplan From: Bob Bridger To: Annette Kaplan Cc: Margot Woodrough Sent: 3/13/03 9:52:44 PM Subject: Floyd / Davis Margot and I have been corresponding for some time on the above and she suggested I drop you a line. My GGGF was Zacharias Davis, GGF was John Davis and my GF was John Alfred 'Staff' Davis. On the Floyd side, my GGGF was Amos K. Floyd, GGF was James Evertte Floyd, GM was Mattie Viola Floyd. All this on my Mothers side. Most of my Davis information has come from Anita Kimberly Prince of Lithia Springs. Her mother was Alice D. Davis, daughter of 'Big John' Davis and wife of Dandy Gerome Kimberly. At one point in time, Anita and her parents lived with Nancy Jane Buchan Davis and helped raise her 10 children after the untimely death of her husband, 'Big John' Davis in 1896. A question for you. In 1882, a Christopher Bloodworth married Zacharias Davis' daughter Elafair Davis and seem to have dropped off the face of the earth. Any thoughts? Thanks for your help. Bob Bridger Annette Kaplan Sorry I made a mistake on Uncle Everett's daughter's name. It was Walter, not Walker and we called her Walt. I think she and Cliff Davis may have had another son but I can't for the life of me remember his name. |

| Biography* | 1999 | Jesse Floyd known to the family as Jay seems to have had the same disconnected life as his grandfather, Jesse Jasper. Here is a child with his father's red hair and his mother's Holland features who was always known as a gentle soul ready to help. Here is his story as told by his sister Mary:Jay was born Jessie Joseph Floyd known to family and friends as Jay. He was Mama's pet. (Everyone claimed I was Papa's pet.) He would do for her without any complaining. He milked the cows and delighted in squirting some in the cat's face most the time but managed to get some in the mouth. He killed all the chickens mama asked him to do and scalded them in hot water so the feathers were easier to pull out which was his job also. Mama raised all the chickens we ate and we did eat a lot. Our meat diet was chicken and pork and sometime old *Kit* fish which I hated. Kit fish is very strong fish packed in salt and must be soaked over night before you can cook and eat it. On rare occasions someone would come by selling fresh beef and Mama or Papa would purchase some and we would have that for breakfast with biscuit and gravy. It was usually the kind of beef that had to be beaten with a mallet on the corner of the wooden kitchen table and Mama would smother it in gravy and letting it cook in a covered pan for a while. This was a special treat for us children. On Third Sundays when Mama would invite the entire church to come and eat dinner with us Jay would have to kill and pick the feathers off of 4 or 5 chickens. Also there was a lot of cake baking going on and Mama would get him in the kitchen beating up the pound cake. Remember we did not have an electric beater at this time and every cake had to be beaten by hand which took a strong arm to beat 3 or 4 cakes. He did many, many jobs around the house such as bringing in all the wood we needed to heat the wood stove. Jay had an easy nature about him that the other boys did not have and I am afraid Mama took advantage of that out of necessity but he did not mind. Jay had red hair and would let us Girls *Finger wave* it because he wanted curly hair and the kids liked to play with him. Jay was Annette's favorite of the three boys (everyone seemed to pick one or two and say that was their favorite.)Annette and Jay had to ride to school in a horse and buggy. Later Papa gave that old horse named Kate to us kids to play with and we would swing on her neck, pull her tail and just have fun with her and she loved it and so did we. We would hitch her to the buggy and go to town and gather up some kids and take them out in the country with us which they loved. Papa would make Pop Guns for us out of reeds which we would sit in the China Berry Tree and shoot berries at and cat, chicken, or dog that came by. We couldn't hurt them only scare them. The three boys could really get into trouble such as tying ten cans to the cat's tail which didn't last long because they couldn't tie it tight enough. When they grew a little older and had a car they tied branches from a tree to the back of it and drove up and down the dirt road just to see how much dust they could do. The three of them belonged to a local baseball team and Jay was the pitcher and a darn good one because he was left handed the batter had a hard time with his balls. Albert was First stop and I don't remember what position Herschel played. Maybe he went just to get my free coke. |

M, #1082, b. 1690, d. circa 1756
| Birth* | 1690 | John Floyd was born in 1690.1 |
| Death* | circa 1756 | He died circa 1756 at Northampton, NC. |
| Will* | 1756 | He left a will in 1756 at NC Here is a note and analysis by another researcher. Grimes Abstracts of Wills says the will was dated August 3, 1756 and proved in the November court. 61. JOHN Floyd SR - 7336. Son of MORRIS Floyd I - 7342 & Mary Cooke ? - 7343. Born 1673/1680 in Henrico CO VA. Died 1756 in Northampton CO NC. Notes about John Floyd SR and his descendents: The will of John Floyd 6 Aug 1756 was filed in Northampton CO NC. This will bequeathed 80 acres of land in King William CO Virginia to his son Morris. "The plantation where I now Live" was bequeathed to his son Thomas. Members of his family were identified as: Wife Mary. Sons: Morrise, Thomas, Stephen. Jessee. John, William. Daughter Elizabeth. This establishes proof that John Floyd migrated from Virginia to North Carolina and lived at one time in King William CO VA and it established that Morris and Thomas were his sons, as well as four others. He married Mary ? - 7344, About 1700 in Henrico CO VA. Born About 1680 in Henrico CO VA. Died After 1756 in Northampton NC. The descendent line of John Floyd SR. and Mary has been developed only partially from just one of their seven known children, Morris, leaving six other branches of this family to be researched. Since we know that John Floyd removed from Virginia to North Carolina and died there 1756, we can assume that he brought his family with him, and they lived first in Northampton CO NC. The children ages as listed in ROOTS WEB are as follows: Morris Floyd V born 1701; * Thomas Floyd II born 1703; Elizabeth Floyd born 1705; William Floyd born 1707; Steven Floyd born 1709; Jesse Floyd born 1711; John Floyd born 1713.1 |

The land were the Coody Cemetery is located first belonged to George Martin who was a rather well to do farmer in the area. When George died in 1876 he divided his land among his children among whom were Elizabeth and Martha Martin. The Martin girls both married sons of Amos Kinchen Floyd. Elizabeth married John J. Floyd and Martha married Amos Floyd. Elizabeth Martin died at age 28 and John J. Floyd then married Nancy E. Coody. The Berryhills and Coodys intermarried and Viola and Marueen Floyd later married two of the Berryhill brothers and were subsequently buried on the old Martin land left and divided by George Martin one hundred and twenty five years earlier in his will of 1876. |
