John Lloyd married Prudence Emery!
Born in London and Died in Virgina. He was brought to America as a slave, found in the book "The Complete Book of Emigrants in Bondage" page 505 and his conviction is for stealing items from a shoemaker's shop, found in the "Old Bailey Papers" dated Jan 1726 to Oct 1727. He was sentenced to 14 years of indentured service in America. Lloyd was shipped aboard the Rappahannock in 1727. After his years of slavery, he married Prudence Emery in 1742. In 1767, Lloyd was appointed reader at McKay's Chapel, a very esteemed position. He died in Virgina in 1772! John Lloyd 1704 had 7 children, all his sons served in the Revolutionary War. My 5th Great Grandfather John Emery Lloyd 1747-1785 was in the 4th regiment of Virgina in the Revolutionary War, he later was granted land in Georgia where he died in 1785!
As for the death year of 1772, I got that from a story on Ancestry. It indicates that John Lloyd didn't die in 1761 as some may think. Since he was appointed reader at McKay's chapel in 1767."In November 1772, the Parish exempted John Loyd from payment of Parish levies. Exemption from parish levies may indicate that John Loyd was too old or too feeble to work. A few months after the exemption from levies, his sons John and James left Virginia for Georgia. It may be that John and James left after their father's death". This is where I get the death year of 1772.
