> By the 1870 census Tho. does not show he is either dead or off working and

> But more children do appear as listed above in that information.

> It appears to me that Thomas called Tom on the death cert. of Harriet
Floyd
> Johns as her Father. Also according to an Uncle who remembers his
Harriet
> and her husband well Harriet always refered to her Father's name as Tom.

> So it appears that Thomas left his Fathers house and place of birth unless
> we do learn otherwise and came to GA a young man perhaps. Later he
> married Miss Harriet Floyd and Fathered six children.

> Who were his parents?? Where was he born??
> Can anyone help me with this one??
> We believe him to have been Minorcian in Org. and may have been living
with
> a group of such people in SC after they spread out and left St. Augustine,
> FL. The reason behind this being that Floyd was once Floit and for the
> Island of Minorca in the Med. Sea off the coast of Spain.
