Sources indicate that Elbert Anse Floyd died in 1924 (See additional note and source for verification of his death date). Therefore she is not his daughter or her multiple birthdates are incorrect.

Research Notes

Suffering from a terrible headache for a couple of days, Elbert came in from working and complained of a bad headache and went to take a nap. He died in his sleep. It was unknown cause then, but with modern medicine and new information, it appears it may have been from a blood disorder that runs in the Floyd family causing seizures, strokes, blood clots, etc. This disease is called Antiphospholipid Antibiody Syndrome. Entered by Kim (Floyd) Evans

This could also be the "blood disorder" that Elbert and Mary's son, Otha, died from at age 8. Entered by Kim (Floyd) Evans

His headstone states he died in 1924 but Havie Little had her last child, Mary Anna Floyd, in Nov 13, 1928. Note: Mississippi State Department of Health; Jackson, Mississippi; Statewide Index to Mississippi Death Records; Description: 1912-1924 A-G also states his year of death as 1924 therefore Mary Anna Floyd is either not Elbert Albert Floyd' child or she was not born in 1926 or 1928. Added by R.Floyd, 27 Aug 2022. (See additional note and source for verification of his death date)

The 1920 census shows an Elbert Floyd married to Annie and only children listed were from his first wife, Martha Ann McAlpin.

Now Havie Little's daughter, Violet Nell and son Elbert Anslum does list Elbert Floyd as her father and Havie Little as her mother, as does her last daughter, Mary Anna born several years after her father died. So Elbert Floyd headstone death year must be wrong. (See additional note and source for verification of his death date) So were there two men named Elbert A. Floyd?
