Does any one know if either of these John Floyds took part in the Patrots'
War in Florida just before Fla became a territory of the US? One  was listed with  the <> by the Spanish government. I have not
found that a John Floyd requested anmesty after the <> lost out. 

My interest arises because my ancestor, Josef Joaneda y Florit, was also
known as John Floyd. If neither of the Camden Co John Floyds took part, then
by the process of elimination it may have been my ancestor.

Thanks to anyone knowing the answer. Ed T of PGH

>years later, he was commissioned Brigadier-General, lst Brigade, 1st

>Indians he was voted the thanks of the legislature and promoted to 
>Major-General of the lst Division, and was commissioned Nov. 24, 1815. He 
>held this rank until his death, June 24, 1824.
>Gen. Floyd was Representative from Camden County 1803-1804 and again in 
>1822. He was State Senator 1805-06, and 1830. He served as a Congressman 
>from Georgia in 1826. He served as a Justice of the Inferior Court of his

>but in the years that followed after moving to Georgia, he accumulated a 
>large estate. He was skillful In the-use of tools and for sometime built

>FLOYD, JOHN (p. 92): He died June 24, 1839, and his will was probated in 
>Camden Court of Ordinary, August 5, 1839. It named his sons, Charles R. and

>------------------
>FLOYD, JOHN (P.92): (1) Gen. Floyd died June 24, 1839, and not 1834 as 
>erroneously printed in the caption and not in 1824 as erroneously shown in 
>the body of the sketch in Vol. III. (2) He was the only child of his 
>parents. (3) His wife was Miss Isabella Maria (not "Isabelle Marie") 
>Hazzard, and was born Jan. 3, 1773, near Beaufort, S. C., and died Aug. 18, 
>1859, in Camden County. (4) The title of "Gen." was mistakenly applied to 
>his father in this sketch in Vol. III, and should have read "Capt." (5) The 
>husband of oldest daughter, Mary Hazzard Floyd, was Col. Everard (not 
>"Evard") Hamilton; he for several years was Secretary of State of Georgia. 
>(6) The name of the 10th child should have read Malinda Isabella (not 
>"Madina"). The name of the second wife of Henry H. Floyd was "Mordina" (not 
>"Modina"). (7) Gen. Floyd served as a Justice of Camden Inferior Court, 
>1803-1810 and again 1815-1817, resigning both times, (8) A correction 
>should be made as to the homes of Gen. Floyd and his father. Fairfield 
>Plantation was settled by the father, Capt. Charles Floyd; and Gen. John 
>Floyd's home and plantation was called "Bellevue". After Capt. Charles 
>Floyd's death, Fairfield was inherited by his grandson, Gen. Charles R. 
>Floyd, and the latter made his home there.
