Revision History:

· 22 Feb 2008 - Created by Marty Grant.

Thomas Floyd was born before 1774, probably well before. This is based on his 1790 census entry that shows him age 16 and up. His parents are unknown, nor is it known how he relates to the other Floyds of Horry and Marion County.

This might be the same Thomas Floyd who is listed on the 1769 tax list in Dobbs Co., NC with one tithable (himself). (1769 Tax List - Dobbs Co., NC). John Floyd, Samuel Floyd and son James Floyd were also listed.

Sometime between ca 1769 and 1771 Thomas Floyd made a deed to John Garland in Dobbs Co., NC. This is the same Thomas from the 1769 tax list, but I don't know for sure that it is the same Thomas who later lived in SC. (Dobbs Co., NC Deed Book 8, page 162 online at NC Grantor/Grantee Index of Johnston, Dobbs and Lenoir Counties).

He was listed on the 1790 census in Georgetown District, South Carolina.

1790 census analysis (based on available evidence): (Explanation of this census)

1790 Georgetown District, Prince George Parish, SC pg 507 Thomas Floyd 1-2-4-0-1

Analysis:

1 Male(s) 16 and Up (before 1774)     Thomas Floyd (bef 1774)

2 Male(s) under 16    (1774/1790)     1-son?

                                      2-son?

4 Female(s) any age (before 1790)     1-Mrs. Floyd, wife?

                                      2-daughter?

                                      3-daughter?

                                      4-daughter?

He wasn't listed on the 1800 census in either Georgetown District or in Marion District. I found no other records for Thomas Floyd in the area. I don't know if he lived in the section of Georgetown that later became Horry, Marion, Williamsburg or remained Georgetown. No way to tell from just this one record.

There are two men named Thomas Floyd listed on the 1800 census in nearby Sumter District. One is Thomas Floyd Jr (1774/84), and the other is Thomas Sr (bef 1755). His household is a reasonable match, though not perfect, with Thomas of 1790. I can't be certain at all that they are one and the same person. Here is the entry just in case they are one and the same.

I didn't find the Thomas Floyd of 1800 Sumter on the 1810 census in that county or nearby.
