Biography

This profile is part of the Floyd Name Study.

Everett Floyd is the son of Frederick Floyd (born 1765/1774 SC/NC -died 1816/1819 Horry County, SC), as evidenced by the list of heirs included in the Legal Petition for the division of Frederick's land filed on 1 Nov 1842 in Horry County, SC. Frederick was married 1.) to Unknown Floyd and 2.) Sarah Unknown Floyd, and the exact dates of marriage are not determined, but it is thought that Everett was the son of wife #1. The burial sites of Frederick and his wives are unknown, but the names of the heirs in the legal case are: Samuel Floyd (Out of the jurisdiction of the court) James Floyd (Out of the jurisdiction of the court) Ann Floyd married to Patrick Lewis Patience Floyd married to Henry Gerrald Mary Floyd married to Elias Jernigan Right Floyd Jane Floyd married to Isaac Mincey Catherine Floyd married to Samuel Gerrald (Out of the jurisdiction of the court) Everett Floyd (Out of the jurisdiction of the court) Hardy Floyd (Out of the jurisdiction of the court) Frederick Floyd

Research notes Most legal documents I, MFM, have found show his name to be Everett/Everette Floyd, but some relatives believe his first name is William rather than the Frederick shown on his modern tombstone. Also, his son is named William Everett Floyd, Jr.

Family information by his descendants say that his death date is recorded in a Masonic logbook as 23 Jan 1891, Simpson County, MS. However they did not provide the name of the Lodge or location of the record.
