Notes for Judge John Burford FLOYD
**************************************************************************************************************************************************
also known as Major John Floyd.
Letitia Preston Floyd, the wife of Mourning's
half brother, the Governor John Floyd, says Mourning was the only child
born to John and Matilda, or Mary, Burford.
However, Judge John J. Floyd of Georgia, mentions
frequently that his father was a brother to Mourning. See, letters to Miss
Addie Kelly, 30 Jan 1874: "Old Gov. Floyd was an uncle to my father...."
and 11 Oct 1873: "...Gen. John Stewart... was my mother's brother and his
wife, AuntMourning, was my father's sister." These statements make pretty
clear that Judge Floyd believed his father and Mourning were siblings.
"Old Gov. Floyd" was in fact his father's half- brother, not uncle, as
he says.

The Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome F, p 203, ca 1952,
notes (about John Floyd of Oglethorpe who married Anne): Quote:
This John Floyd, we presume, was the John Floyd
of Wilkes County, Georgia, who gave power- of- attorney, Feb., 14 1794
to Phillip Thurmond, of Amherst County, Virginia to sell his future interest
in a tract of 250 acres on the headwaters of Stovall Creek in Amherst County,
"it being the tract of land whereon Virginia Taylor now lives. It was bequeathed
to her by the last will and testament of Daniel Burford, late of the State
of Virginia, dated May 1, 1787, during her natural life or until she should
remove from the land; the remainder to me. " Burford's will said "I lend
to my daughter Virginia Taylor and her natural son John Floyd Burford 250
acres of land etc. I give to my grandson, John Floyd Burford, natural son
of my daughter Virginia Taylor, my negro boy named Shepherd, etc. I give
to my granddaughter Mourning Burford Stewart my three negros Phillys,Nancy,
and Dick....Residue of my estate to be equally divided between my grandaughter,
Mourning Burford Stewart and my sons John Burford, Daniel Burford, and
my daughter Millie Crews. To my daughter Frances Goodwin, L5(pounds)."
The will was proved 2 July, 1787, Amherst County.
Burford had made a deed of gift Aug. 5, 1776, of
a negro girl to his daughter Virginia Taylor. Itwould appear then, that
John Floyd Burford became John Floyd and later was John Burford Floyd.
End quote.
