Son of Theophilus Offie Floyd, Jr. & Elizabeth Bounds.

The story is that after his wife, Callie (Matlock) Floyd was committed to an Insane Asylum, he left his children in the care of the Barnett family in Bossier parish, sold his land and assets and then left the state of Louisiana (Possibly to California or somewhere in the northwest area of the US) and was never heard from again. No official death record has been found for him as of yet.

Note: Contributor Iris Meshell has left a flower note stating that Ancestry.com family trees show that he died April 3, 1903. In order to add this info to the memorial dates, I would need to confirm this with some source of official documentation of his death date as well as what location he died in and where he is buried. As of yet, that information has not been forwarded to me.
