HI!
I am a DRAKE researcher and came here looking for information about Penuel Floyd.
I see there has been some prior discussion on this list which I cannot find regarding a theory about Penuel and the Drakes.
Penuel Floyd was mentioned in the 1785 Nash Co estate papers of Nathaniel Drake along with Delilah. An old family letter states that Nathaniel Drake
married Delilah Floyd--of this I think there can be no doubt.
I had assumed that Penuel must have been Delilah's brother, but perhaps from what has been posted he was her (natural) son.
It gets more interesting, for Nathaniel Drake, son of Nathaniel, calls Penuel his
"brother-in-law" and also mentions his "brother" Diocletian Drake Floyd in his will. This "brother" Diocletian was known as
Dyer Drake and left descendants under the surname Drake. Based on this data I had guessed that perhaps Dyer was a natural child of Nathaniel Drake
and Delilah Floyd born before their marriage. Perhaps there was more than one, if she had a base-born child named Penuel!! What if Penuel is a (sortof)sound-alike for Nathaniel?
Would like to hear more about the theory I missed, for I am trying to work out the Nathaniel Drake tree.
Thanks.

named Amos. It was the son named Amos that caused me to think he is the father of Amos, Shadrick and Fed Floyd. I've only found one Amos in the
area.
item 379 p. 35 says "...it being part of a tract of land formerly granted by deed from Thomas Floyd deceased 7-27-1780". I do not know the significance
of the above date. Do know that Thomas was dead by 1795 when his wife's will was filed calling her widow of Thomas) 87

census),102 d. 1825 at Pulaski County, GA (He does not appear on the 1830 census, but his wife Mourning does appear as head of household. No will
has ever been found for him which could mean he died unexpectedly.
The following is taken from a note written by Don Floyd: "The speculation that Federick Floyd may have died between 1828 and 1830 is based on two
things: estate records and census records. He was dead by 1830 because the U.S. Census record for Pulaski showed Mourning Floyd to be the head of
the household. A July 1828 entry in the minutes of the Inferior Court (now Probate Court) of Pulaski County showed this: A return of the expenditures on
the estate of David Duhart deceased made by Furney F. Gatlin adm on the estate of D. Duhart, decd. Paid Federick Floyd, proven acct. $2.00
(This is in conflict with the 1825 date of Administration letters given to Mourning Bass. Need to get original records and check.)) 103

Here is a note that MVW wrote to her sisters, Annette and LaVerne
My heart is broken for you. Even though we knew it was coming it is still something we are unprepared to accept. I put my arms around both of you.
You have both been so steadfast and loving and I am so very happy that Annette and even Becky was able to be with her one more time. Aunt Shug is
an icon of the family as is Bob for all the time he has put into her care. She has been a part of my life since I was a baby. I know she was the same for
both of you. Her passing is a terrible loss, but more than that, her life was a wonderful gain for so many people. She lived a good and useful life and
showered love on so many people. It was a life lived to its fullest potential. Who can ask for more than that? Therefore, we must rejoice and be glad.
We must celebrate a job well done. It is not a time for sadness, but rather a time for joy and reaffirmation. She would not want sadness. Lets remember
her with great joy. My favorite story is the one told by Bob. We all know what a terrible driver she was. Bob once said, "you can tell she was taught to
drive by a blind man." Lets each tell those "Shug Stories." I want to be there for the funeral. Please let me know the plans as soon as possible. Love
and great hugs for both of you. Margot)

(Based on what your mother said in her messages, I went back through your online genealogy and found that Nancy Coody was married to John J.
Floyd who was a possible father of the right approximate age. I based this on Joseph H. Floyd ( Joe )'s year of birth - 1902. I have current access to an
online 1900 Federal Census. When I looked up John J. 's Family by looking in Pulaski County, GA census data, I found the following:
John J. Floyd
Head of Household
Nancy E.
wife
Henry
son
James A.
son
Emma
daughter
Morgan H.
son
Since your mom says that Joe, Morgan, Will and other older brother's mother was a Coody and Morgan's name is listed as a son, it seems very likely
that John J. and Nancy were Joseph ( Joe ) Floyd's parents. This is a good starting point at the very least or it would appear so. Thank you for your help,
