  Anecdote	May 1743	Northampton County, Virginia, USA   [10]
  	In May 1743 it was recorded in N'hamp Co that Berry, Benjamin & Mary Floyd, children of John Floyd (wp 14 Nov 1738) by their next friend Phillip Jacob, shown that the said John was possessed of a Negro woman slave named Bibbo at the time of his death. The slave was heired by John Floyd, son and heir, still an infant. 1/3 of the Slave's value was set apart for the widow (Anne). Since John is an infant he cannot be compelled to divide the slave without a Court order, John agrees to a division. Court orders the slave to be sold: 1/4 of sale to the widow, 1/4 to the heir-at-law and 2/4 to be divided between the 3 petitioners.

  Marriage	Abt 1674	Northampton County, Virginia, USA   [3, 11]
  	According to Brice M. Clagett of Washington, DC, it has been alledged that John Floyd's wife was born Mary Berry and was a daughter of either William Berry or James and Elizabeth Berry. There appears to be no evidence for this and presumably the allegation is based merely on the fact that a son of John & Mary was named Berry Floyd. That fact alone cannot, of course, be regarded as conclusive proof of Mary's maiden name. William Berry, founder of the family of that name in Southern Maryland, was born on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and was a son of James Berry, who first appears there about 1640.
