Her sister, Sallie Buchanan Floyd never married and lived with Annette and her husband John in Bedford. Sallie died about the same time as her brother-in-law (who survived his wife by 14 years). She is buried in the Keeler family plot in Bedford. Through Annette Floyd we have inherited an original of the miniature that you show in b&w. cranger907https://www.blogger.com/profile/11282014995046926625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780824883768425920.post-45747930883175900122016-02-22T08:17:21.131-07:002016-02-22T08:17:21.131-07:00I appreciate the additional info on the children o...I appreciate the additional info on the children of GRC Floyd. I have been researching the Floyd's and my other family members for over 40 years now. All of the research for this article, I did myself and I have never heard of Pat Steven's before, do you have a web link for her? I would love to see what she has collected on the Floyd family.

William Preston Floyd died of smallpox as a small child; there are no descendants from that line. George Rogers Clark Floyd and Sallie Tevis Fontaine Floyd had three daughters - Jane Buchanan Floyd Penn, Georgianne Floyd Carroll and Matilda P Floyd. The source for these names is the Kentucky Gazette articles reporting GRC Floyd's death. <br /><br />John Gabriel Floyd attended West Point as an appointee from the state of Tennessee but did not graduate. He worked as an engineer for the army. His children settled for the most part in Terre Haute, IN.<br /><br />Jane Buchanan Floyd had four sons from her marriage to Alexander Breckinridge.Alex Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15669323943620378655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780824883768425920.post-23128929724475012802016-01-12T17:22:03.345-07:002016-01-12T17:22:03.345-07:00Thank you so much for your comments I would love t...Thank you so much for your comments I would love to read what you have on the family.Vickie Beard Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09188093993517504733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780824883768425920.post-59801773791666387982016-01-12T10:40:12.022-07:002016-01-12T10:40:12.022-07:00His Brother John was my 4th grandfather.

Early in book, GRC is old and infirm, and is facing an amputation when neighbors and friends start gathering at his house on a bluff overlooking the Ohio River. Among those coming to support GRC during this ordeal is none other than George Rogers Clark Floyd. Glad to get this info about GRC Floyd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780824883768425920.post-59894103302011081172015-07-26T09:56:33.450-06:002015-07-26T09:56:33.450-06:00Vickie, Is this my dad's family?
