Nathaniel Crosby FLOYD

  General Notes:

On 25 July 1854, he married Susan Anna Floyd, who had moved to Dallas with her parents in 1853 from Kentucky. The Nathaniel C. Floyd family had come to Texas by excellent carriages. Their move was due to a visit from their daughter, Fanny Floyd Crutchfield and her husband, Jim (son of the proprietor of the Crutchfield House in Dallas), who had already moved to Texas. The deciding factor in the Floyd's move to Texas was a box of soil Jim carried with him on their visit from Dallas. On arriving in Dallas, Mr. Floyd bought 800 acres northeast of the town of Dallas. A large part of the acreage is occupied today by the Lakewood County Club house and golf course.
