Samuel Floyd (Sr) was born before 1755, perhaps well before. His
parents are unknown, nor is it known how he relates to the other Floyds
of Horry County. There was a younger
Samuel Floyd in the region at the same time. That one used "Jr" to
distinguish himself from this one (who sometimes was listed as "Sr"). It is possible that this is the same Samuel Floyd who, with his wife Ann, lived in Northampton Co., NC in the 1750's and 1760's. I have no solid proof that they are one and the same, but it needs to be looked into. There is good reason to think they are one and the same. First of all consider Austin/Orson Floyd (1755). He was born in this area (Hertford) and then moved to Dobbs Co., NC before moving to Horry Co., SC. Samuel is quite possibly his father, or at least an uncle. This might be the same Samuel Floyd who is listed on the 1769 tax list in Dobbs Co., NC with two tithables (himself and his son James, who is listed by name). (1769 Tax List - Dobbs Co., NC). John Floyd and Thomas Floyd were also listed. This record proves that Samuel of Dobbs is the father of James Floyd. Is it our Samuel and James from Horry? Could be, but I can't say for certain. Sometime between ca 1765 and 1769 Abraham Shepperd Jr. made a deed to Samuel Floyd in Dobbs Co. NC. Only the index survives, so we don't know what was transferred. Don't know if this is the same Samuel Floyd later of Horry Co., SC but it could be. (Dobbs Co., NC Deed Book 7, page 269 online at NC Grantor/Grantee Index of Johnston, Dobbs and Lenoir Counties). Between ca 1771 and ca 1773 Samuel Floyd made a deed to Benjamin Shepperd in Dobbs Co., NC. (Dobbs Co., NC Deed Book 9, page 241 online at NC Grantor/Grantee Index of Johnston, Dobbs and Lenoir Counties). He was listed on the 1790 census in Georgetown District: 1790 census analysis (based on available evidence): (Explanation of this census) 1790 Georgetown District, Prince George Parish, SC pg 507 Samuel Floyd 2-0-2-0-1 Analysis: 2 Male(s) 16 and Up (before 1774) 1-Samuel Floyd (bef 1755) 2-Son? (bef 1774) -> gone by 1800 2 females (no ages) 1-Mrs. Floyd (bef 1755), wife 2-Daughter? -> gone by 1800 1 Slave He was listed on the 1800 census in Georgetown District: 1800 census analysis (based on available evidence): (Explanation of this census) 1800 Georgetown Dist, Kingston Co., SC pg 774/388 Saml Floyd Senr 00001-00001-0-1 Analysis: 1 Male(s) 45 & up (before 1755) Samuel Floyd (bef 1755) 1 Female(s) 45 & up (before 1755) Mrs. Floyd (bef 1755), wife There was only one Samuel listed on the 1810 census in Horry. I believe it was the younger Samuel and not this one. This Samuel was either dead by then, or had moved away, or was living with someone else and not the head of household himself. |

Children of Samuel Floyd. The 1790 census
suggests there was at least one son and one daughter. Samuel and wife
seem to be quite old by 1800, so all of their children were probably all
grown and on their own by then. If this is the same Samuel who was in
Dobbs Co., NC in 1769 then he is the proven father of a
James Floyd, probably the same one who lived in Horry later on. 1. Unknown Son (bef 1774), home in 1790, gone by 1800. 2. Unknown Daughter (bef 1790), home in 1790, gone by 1800. |
