FLOYD-TAYLOR FAM CEM 1861
Submitted by Paula J. Dodd (GGGGrand-daughter
of George Floyd, GGGrand-duaghter of Charles Floyd, GGrand-daughter
of Oscar Matlock Floyd, Grand-daughter of *Arthur Tom Floyd):
Floyd-Taylor Cemetery (an area
142 ft x 148 ft, as surveyed) First known/recorded burial, 1862;
but George Floyd had a son, Henry O. Floyd, who died shortly
after the family arrived in Texas from Illinois in 1848. He died
between 1848-1850. Henry was between 19-20 yrs. old, and was
not listed on the 1850 Census. The family feels confident that
Henry is buried in the Floyd-Taylor Cemetery. The last burial
recorded was around 1945.
Old family stories, say that the
cemetery was setup on a burial ground pre-dating Texas Statehood.
The cemetery lies in the original abstract 463 of the George
Floyd land grant from Peters Colony, per Survey 89-C on May 11,1853.
The survey lines were gerrymandered in 1905. Key to locating
the survey lines is the location of the spring in Floyd Branch
- 20 ft. west of the Highway 342 bridge over the branch.
The Cemetery is in the Smith-Elkins
Survey, adjacent to the George Floyd Survey line in southeast
Dallas. The cemetery is at the back of property (according to
tax records - which is owned by ENSEARCH) This location is 1400 ft east of Lancaster
Rd. (State Highway 342), along the fence line to a grove of large
trees, in a field and very remote; and about 1200 ft south of
Cedardale Rd. Map showing cemetery location, here.

Floyd Family Descendants
would like to thank the Lancaster Genealogical Society, the Lancaster
Historical Society and Members - Alfred M. Cook and Welton R.
Frail for their survey on 3 January 1986. The family has updated
this list as complete as possible for future records. These are
only the names that can be made out, time has taken a toll. There
were said to have been forty plus burials at the Floyd-Taylor
Cemetery. A special THANK YOU to our cousin, Ms. Eunice M. Sandling
(Grand-daughter of Oscar Matlock Floyd), of Lancaster, TX for
all of her research and labor of love.
