She married on 18 Dec 1897 in Bartow Co., GA, Mamie Helena Echols (buried at this cem.); they had the following children: Rossie Ruth who married Thomas "Tom" Wofford; Carl "Bradley" who married Bessie Watson; Ruby Mae who married Silas Spear; Emma Lucille who married Samuel Lesley; **Charles Arthur "Pretty Boy" who married Ruby Hargrove; E.

Walter moved his family from GA to Sequoyah Co., OK, in 1911. They lived in a little wooden abode on the outskirts of the town of Hanson. The Floyds were tenant farmers; they rented land and produced cotton, corn and other crops. They moved to nearby Akins about 1915, where the soil provided better crop growth; Walter also worked odd jobs in the off-season in the county and his family were one of the most prosperous families in the are, one of the few to be able to afford an automobile.
