Marriage 1 Unknown DAVIS Children: Henry FLOOD b: 1755 in England.
Marriage 2 Agnes PAYNE.

"The earliest documented record of the immigrant, John Flood, was a land patent in Albemarle Co., Virginia. On March 3, 1760, for the sum of 30 shillings, he was granted 295 acres of land, among them the south branches of Hunt's Creek, near the church. When Buckingham Co. was formed in 1762, the Flood land was included, and the nearby church later became Buckingham Baptist Church, which is still standing and in regular use today. From 1771 to 1774, John Flood was an officer of that church serving as Sexton. A plaque donated by the descendants of his son, Henry, is mounted on the wall of the church and states that John and his wife were buried beside the church, with a later addition built over the graves. The absence of wills, marriage records, and other legal records, due to the devastating Court House fire of 1869, makes research in Buckingham Co. very difficult. Records that were not stored in the Court House, family tradition and a little logic have been used in establishing relationships in John Flood's family.

According to family tradition, Captain John Flood, upon retiring from the British Navy, moved his family from England, to the state Virginia, in America. He was born to 1694, and was 60 years old, before his first child was born.

His first wife, _____ Davis, bore at least three sons. Sons, Henry (born 1755), and John (born 1757), were probably born England, and possibly, ( born 1760), as well. John's wife was dead by 1762, when he married for the second time, to Agnes Payne, at the age of 68.

Son, Noah was born in 1763, and in the 1764 Buckingham Co. List of Tithes, John was listed as "Patroler", with 200 acres of land.

Three more sons, Moses (born 1765), Joshua A. (born 1772), and Joseph (born 1774), were born by 1773 and 1774, when he was listed as a tythe, on John Barnard's list of tythables.

Twins, William and Mary (born 1777), and his last son, Benjamin (born 1780), had been added to the family by 1782 when personal property and land tax lists showed that he owned three horses, six cattle and 200 acres of land. The above was written by Beth Flood".

Excerpts from letters written in April 1959 to B.R. Fitzgerald from Joel W. Flood, Judge of the Fifth Judicial Circuit of Virginia, states the following:- "John Flood, Sr. was born in the year of 1694. He was an Englishman, and belonged to the British Navy. He came to this country as a Man-Of-War in 1754, landing in Glouster County, Virginia. There he met a Miss Davis, whose charm proved more captivating to him than his sailor life, and after a few months, at an advanced age of 60, they were married. From what I have heard, I judge that he was wild in his early life. He was remarkable for honesty, information , and honor, and universally esteemed where known. After marriage he moved to Buckingham County, and settled near the Buckingham Church, of which for years he was Clerk, discharging his duties with true manly zeal. By his first wife (Miss Davis) he had five children, viz: Henry, John, William, Mary and Thomas. When Thomas was a few weeks old, the mother died, leaving to the husband's care five young children. Afterwards, he married Miss Payne by whom he had eight sons, and two daughters!".

The Richmond Times Dispatch of Saturday, December 4, 1965 carried an article written by Genevieve Agee, concerning what was once known as "Buckingham Olde Church." It is located on U.S. Route #15, and is the one founded by Captain John Flood, being on his farm near Dillwyn, Virginia. Captain John Flood and his wife Agatha, and their daughter Mary, were buried under the church to protect their graves from the Indians. Their graves, marked by stones, are visible under the church. The original building was added to in the 1830's and again in 1965, the dedication being planned for the spring of 1966.

A letter written by Joel Walker Flood to his cousin Frances (Fannie) from his home in Appomattox, Va. on February 20, 1913, in response to her inquiry regarding Thomas Flood, her great grandfather, states:

"Your great grandfather and my great-great grandfather John Flood's first wife was a Miss Davis from Glouschester County, Va. He had five children by his first wife. Major Henry Flood (was the eldest-my great grandfather, John Flood was your great grandfather), then came twins, William and Mary after the Protestant King and Queen of England. Your great grandfather was named Thomas Flood. When the war between Great Britian and the States commenced, John Flood called his sons up who wre old enough to go into the Continental Army, and told them that he was an Englishman, that he had been in His Majesty's service and was very glad that he was too old to take up any part of the war, but that they were Americans and to fight for their country. His second wife was a Payne who was his housekeeper. He had 9 children by his second marriage. Had twins by this marriage as William by the first, was killed in the Continental Army and Mary died. He named these twins William and Mary."

Notes

Elias Hodges purchased land in Beaufort County, N.C. on 11 March 1740 (Deed Book 2, Page 362). His brother, Richard Hodges also purchased land in Beaufort County on 9 December 1741 (Book 2, Page 388). On 19 November 1744, Elias Hodges sold one-half of his Beaufort County land purchase to his brother, John Hodges Sr. of Virginia (Book 2, Page 441).
