Note: I have some unsourced names and dates on this page. Use at your own risk until I can find actual source documentation for them. They are clearly noted as being unproven.

Theophilus Floyd was born 12 Mar 1787 per his tombstone (full source: National Cemetery Administration. U.S. Veterans Gravesites, ca.1775-2006 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: The Generations Network, Inc., 2006. Original data: National Cemetery Administration. Nationwide Gravesite Locator). He is a proven son of Francis Floyd and Isabel Johnston as named in a deed dated 22 Oct 1804 naming their heirs.

He appears to be home with his parents for the 1790 census, aged under 16 (1774/1790). He still seems to be home with them in 1800, aged 10-15 (1784/90).

Theophilus was named in an estate division for Francis Floyd dated 20 Mar 1806. The heirs were named as Izabel the widow and seven children: Jane, Hugh, Theophilus, Johnston, Cathrine, Izabel and Francis. (Horry Co., SC Deed Book A1, page 67 Online at: Horry County Historical Society).

Theophilus Floyd married Delilah Page between ca 1800 and ca 1805 in Horry or perhaps in neighboring Marion District. Delilah was born 2 Dec 1790 (source?), a daughter of Joseph Page and his wife, a Miss Horn. Delilah was named in Joseph's 1818 Will as his daughter Delilah Floyd. Her husband's name was not given. (Marion Co., SC Probate Roll # 630).

They are listed on the 1810 census in Horry:

On 10 Feb 1815 Theophilus Floyd and Harmon Floyd (probably 1st cousins) witnessed a deed from Benjamin Arnett of NC to William Hill. It was proven before Samuel Floyd, QU on 10 Feb 1815. (Marion Co., SC Deed Book G page 149).

Theophilus moved his family to Pike Co., AL in the 1820's and was listed there on the 1830 census. There were other Floyds there that year as well, but their relationship to Theophilus is unknown. They were Evans Floyd, Hugh Floyd (this isn't his brother of that name) and William Floyd.

Barbour County was formed in 1832 from the eastern half of Pike taking Theophilus and family into the new county.

Delilah Page Floyd died on 7 Nov 1835 (source?) in Barbour Co., AL.

I didn't find Theophilus Floyd on the 1840 census but there is a Tho^sFloyd listed in Barbour that is most likely Theophilus. It fits pretty well.

Theophilus Floyd died on 19 May 1842 (per tombstone) in Barbour Co., AL.

Children of Theophilus Floyd and Delilah Page. I have found several children who I believe are theirs but I have no proof except circumstantial evidence and census analysis. I have found several online trees for this family that list 10 children for them, most with full birth dates. Of course there is no documentation so I don't know where this information comes from. It seems accurate based on what little I've been able to find. Some actual source documentation would be nice for these children. Until I find some I'll not say much about them here.
