Samuel Floyd was ca 1799/1800 per his age on the 1850 census (50)
and the 1860 census mortality schedule (60). He was probably born in
what is now Horry County, though the 1850 census lists his birth place
as Marion District. That could be correct, but it seems unlikely. He is
a son of
Samuel Floyd (bef 1755) as proven by an 1821 deed when Samuel gave
property to his son Samuel. Samuel seems to be home with his parents for the 1800 census aged under 10 (born 1790/1800), and still home in 1810 age 10-15 (1794/1800). He is either with his parents in 1820, aged 16-25 (1794/1804) or with his brother Francis, same age group. On 12 Mar 1821 Samuel Floyd Senr deeded land to his sons Harmon and Samuel Floyd. Witnessed by Levi Alford and William Hill. (Horry Co., SC Deed Book C1 page 124 Horry County Historical Society). Samuel Floyd married Sarah A. Adams before ca 1824, probably in Marion District, though possibly in Horry instead. Sarah was born ca 1809/10 per her age on the 1850 census (40). In 1860 she was 49 and in 1870 she was 59. She may be Sarah Adams, daughter of Abner Adams and wife Jane (---). Their daughter Sarah married a Floyd, though it isn’t certain if this is the same Sarah. One reason for believing so is that Samuel Floyd was the administrator of her father’s Estate. That strongly suggests that he is the one married to Sarah Adams. Another possibility is that Sarah, wife of Samuel Floyd, is Sarah Ann Floyd, daughter of Lewis Floyd. That Sarah also married a Floyd. Which of these two Sarah’s is the wife of Samuel Floyd? Can’t say for sure. Both are age compatible, both are in the right area, both have the right name. Both have otherwise unidentified husbands named Floyd. More research may resolve this, though I think Sarah Adams is the better choice, but I could certainly be wrong. On 11 Apr 1825 Samuel Floyd, Jr. (and P. J. Mallett) witnessed a deed between John Newsom of Marion Dist., SC and Hugh Campbell of Fayetteville, NC. (Marion Co., SC Deed Book L, page 162). Samuel was referred to as “Jr.” because his father was still alive and in the same county. On 1 Aug 1825 Samuel Floyd, Jr. and Samuel Hodges and H. G. Fladger witnessed a deed from David S. Harllee, Sheriff of Marion District, to James Floyd of Horry Dist., SC. (Marion Co., SC Deed Book L, page 185 & 191). On 12 Oct 1827 Samuel Floyd and Francis Floyd, Q.U. (his brother) witnessed a deed from David P. Newsom of Marion Dist., SC to Thomas Coatsworth Floyd of Robeson Co., NC. I have not been able to identify Thomas C. Floyd. Samuel had a son of that same name, but he was only about 2 years old at this time, so probably not him. (Marion Co., SC Deed Book N, page 16). On 22 Dec 1828 Jane Adams, widow of Abner Adams, deceased) swore before Francis Floyd, Justice of Marion District, that her late husband had, in his lifetime, given his daughter Sally Floyd a certain negro girl by the name of Rose, and to his daughter Elizabeth Hayes he gave a negro girl named Milly, and he gave his daughter Demaris Floyd a negro girl named Chaney. (Marion Co., SC Deed Book M, page 219). This Sally Floyd may be Sarah A., wife of Samuel Floyd. “Sally” is a common nickname for “Sarah.” Samuel Floyd is listed on the 1830 census in Marion District. He is listed with a middle initial, though it isn’t certain whether it is an “S” or an “L.” His age is also way off, though the rest of the household seems correct, more or less. Mrs. Floyd’s age is off somewhat too. It is quite possible that this household is for Samuel’s father (also named Samuel) instead, though it is thought he was dead by then. Also, the elder Samuel was born before 1760/70. 1830 census analysis (based on available evidence): (Explanation of this census) 1830 Marion Dist., SC pg 19 Samuel S.

He never mentioned his father's name in the deed, but it is pretty clear he was referring to Samuel. The deed was witnessed by Samuel Floyd Jr and Harmon Floyd. (Marion Co., SC Deed Book O, page 145) On 12 Nov 1835 Francis Floyd and Jesse Ford of Marion Dist., made a deed to Everet Nichols and Harmon Floyd for $350 for 300 acres on north east side of Little Pee Dee and both sides of Raft Swamp, being the same land purchased from James Floyd Sr. Francis signed, but his wife wasn't mentioned. Jesse Ford also signed. Samuel Floyd and John Yelverton witnessed. (Marion Co., SC Deed Book Q, page 48). They are listed on the 1840 census in Marion District. 1840 census analysis (based on available evidence): (Explanation of this census) 1840 Marion Dist., SC pg 164 Saml Floyd 2101001000000-0111010000000 Slaves=532000-423000 Analysis: 1 Male(s) 40-49 (1790-1800) Samuel Floyd (c1800) 1 Male(s) 15-19 (1820-1825) Thomas C.

On 31 Oct 1851 Samuel Floyd and Samuel J. Floyd (probably his son) witnessed a deed from Jesse Allen and wife Eady to C. P. Floyd (son of Harmon Floyd). (Marion Co., SC Deed Book V, page 465). Samuel Floyd died in June 1859 of inflammation of the bowels. This is proven by the 1860 census Mortality Schedule which lists his death and some details. His widow and children are listed on the 1860 census in Marion District, Floydsville Post Office: Sarah A. Floyd 49 born NC, Danl A. 18 born SC, Chas A. 11 SC, Francis C. 9 SC, and Rena Bryant 5 SC. Sarah was listed on the 1870 census in Marion County in Hillsboro Township living by herself: Sarah A. Floyd age 59, born SC. I wasn’t able to find Sarah on the 1880 census. She may have died by then. |
Children of Samuel and Sarah Adams Floyd.
The 1850 and 1860 census proves eight children for Samuel Floyd. The
1840 census shows two others who are yet unidentified. I didn’t find a
Will or any estate or probate records for Samuel or Sarah.
