- Esther Floyd1 b. c 1684
- These children are named in John Floyd's WFT in 1687
- Mary is only mentioned as "Mary" in her husband John Floyd's WFT. The idea that her name is Mary Berry seems to stem from the naming of one of their sons, Berry Floyd. There is no proof of this and no other reference to this surname has been found. Many family genealogists continue to use it. See the Miles Files below for more information.
- If she is Mary Berry, she may be the daughter pf William Berry or James (and Elizabeth) Berry, both men known on the Eastern Shore.
