Research notes

need to verify two sons starred above. 1880 Census does not list these two individuals in the household of Lee Alexander Floyd. need to find source material for these two. Further research on Eusaby Floyd Dunagan, listed as mother of Lee Alexander Floyd and Benjamin Black Dunagan, her husband (married November 15 1852, Gainesville, Georgia) needed. why is Lee Alexander named Floyd rather than Dunagan? Is Benjamin his step-father?
