Hello Everybody:
I need to locate in SC a man named Thomas Floyd according to what I do have
on him he was born in about 1836 and he stated on the 1860 US Census that
the place was SC.

On the GA   1860 US Census Reel # 653-113   St. Mary's  P.O.   (looks like)
Clarks Ward  Camden County, GA.
page 30
Dwelling 328
Family  326  is   Tho.  Floyd  24  m  0  Lumber Cutter   0     15     SC   0

                               B.               21  f    0           0

                               M.                 1  f
GA

Now the B. stands for Betty most likley and a nickname for Elizabeth which
is what we later find on the 1870 and all information matches up for this.
E. stands for Sarah E. found on same.  And of course M. stands for Mary on
the same.

By the 1870 census Tho. does not show he is either dead or off working and
to be found somewhere else.
But more children do appear as listed above in that information.

It appears to me that Thomas called Tom on the death cert. of Harriet Floyd
Johns as her Father.    Also according to an Uncle who remembers his Harriet
and her husband well Harriet always refered to her Father's name as Tom.

So it appears that Thomas left his Fathers house and place of birth unless
we do learn otherwise and came to GA a young man perhaps.    Later  he
married Miss Harriet Floyd and Fathered six children.

Who were his parents??    Where was he born??
Can anyone help me with this one??
We believe him to have been Minorcian in Org. and may have been living with
a group of such people in SC after they spread out and left St. Augustine,
FL.   The reason behind this being that Floyd was once Floit and for the
Island of Minorca in the Med. Sea off the coast of Spain.

Thanks a ton,
Gail
