When Francis Lewis Floyd was born on March 28, 1756, in Horry County, South Carolina, his father, Andrew, was 29 and his mother, Ann, was 30. He served 84 months for the cause of the Revolution as a Patriot and gave material aid in the form of bacon. He married Isabel Johnston on December 25, 1780, in Horry County, South Carolina. Children of Francis Floyd and Isabel Johnston. The 1804 deed names 7 children: Jane, Hugh, Theophilus, Johnston, Catherine, Isabel and Francis. As far as I can tell they are listed in proper age order. One of his offspring was Johnston Floyd (born 6 March 1790, and died 12 August 1867 in Robeson County, NC); Johnston married Mary Elizabeth Lee, and Bud Milton Floyd (born 24 June 1835, and died 2 December 1989) was a son of Johnston. Mac French Floyd (born 28 April 1878, and died 15 January 1939) was a son of Bud. Lester William Floyd (born 18 December 1915, and died 16 July 1998) was a son of Mac French. I (born 26 August 1945) am the son of Lester William Floyd. He died on October 22, 1804, in Horry County, South Carolina, at the age of 48.
Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
