  1. Does anyone have information on Petella FLOID/FLOYD listed in Dist. 6, Decatur Co., TN Tax List? Petiller T. FLOYD/FLOID is my husband’s 3rd great grandfather.

    He married Delphia unknown surname. They had the following children:

    1. Martha J. b abt 1842 TN
    2. Delphia Ann b 1849 TN
    3. Elizabeth b 1834 TN
    4. Enoch b abt 1836 TN
    5. Alfred M. b abt 1838 TN
    6. Starlin/Sterling b abt 1840 TN

    Any information would be appreciated,
    Linda Cashen Gaunt

    1. Hey Linda, I overlooked this info about Petella being listed in Perry County. Tax List of 1837. Your husband and I share the same family tree. I ve been looking in Decatur County because of him being listed in the Decatur county census. Elizabeth would be my GGGMother. I had been taking to a lady in Calif. who shares alot of the same info but alot more info. She told me about the Family Tree DNA which I did. Have you been able to find any more info regarding Petiller

  2. I am a desendant of the Bogans in 1837 Tax list. James was my gggranfather. William or William Bogan sr was his father. I have reach a roadblock at this point. Do you have any information on the Bogans.. I did not know until today that Decatur county was formed from Perry. Thanks Richard Bogan
