John apparently served in the 6th VA Infantry, supporting the
American Revolution (see also his brother James ARVIN). The
index to Compiled Service Records maintained by the National
Archives gives his name and unit, but no service record can be
found. Further, the index refers their searcher to the entry for
James Arvin, his brother.
John's will was admitted to probate on 13 Dec 1782. Sadly, the
Lunenburg County Court minute books have not survived, and
therefore testimony cannot be gleaned to establish when and
where he died. One source gives the date of his death as 10 Feb
1781, but that is not possible, as his will waswritten on 18 Feb
1781. John's motivation for enlisting may have been due to the
burning of the Richmond VA tobacco warehouses in early January
of 1781. It may also be that John was recruited, not as militia
or Continental troop, but as a Minute Man, serving from his home
and available for calls when the need arose. This would account
for the absence of a service record. It then becomes significant
that in July,1781 British Colonel Banstre Tarleton and his
dragoons conducted extensive raids through Lunenburg County and
the surrounding area.
Landon Covington Bell, in his book Lunenburg County, Virginia
Wills 1746-1825 states that John Arvin had four sons, including
one named Thomas. No records have been found for Thomas, nor was
Bell aware of the existence of John's daughter, Sarah Wade
Arvin. Because Bell does not state his source, we may infer that
he received his information from Ethel M. Arvin who, as will be
seen, married into the Bell family. Ethel was sufficiently
distant from the generation presently being considered to
suggest that her knowledge was based upon an oral tradition that
had become altered through the passage of time. Thus, Thomas is
not included in the listing of John and Mary's children.
The middle names of the first two children, Sarah and Jameson,
are taken from Lunenburg County Deed Book 19, p. 40 in a deed
dated 17 Nov 1801 and recorded 10 Dec 1801, in which their names
are given as heirs of their father."

Mother: Abadiah DAVIS |
From Southern Branches by Pat M Stevens IV on Gencircles.com
"Given the relationship of the families, it is likely, or at
least possible, that Robert was named for the great uncle of
William Clark (Robert Clark of Va.), with whom his son Charles
ventured forth on the Lewis and Clark journey.
Larry Reno, a descendant of Charles Floyd and Mary Stewart (see
elsewhere) says: The children of Robert Clark Floyd and
Lilleyann Hampton were:
1. Elizabeth R. ("Betsey") Floyd, born circa 1772, probably in
VA.
2. Davis Floyd, born in 1774 in VA.
3. Charles Floyd, born circa 1782 at Floyd's Station, Jefferson
CO, VA.
4. Mary Lee Floyd, born circa 1794 in Jefferson Co., KY.
By letter dated 5 Oct 1872, Mary Lee Floyd Walton, wrote to Dr.
Lyman Draper: "...I remember nothing of Gen. Clark's expedition
to the rocky mountains as I was a child, except that I had a
brother who went with him, and who died during the expedition,
his name was 'Charles Floyd.' Col. John Floyd was my Uncle - my
father's name was Robert."
On 6 Mar 1807 William Clark acknowledged receiving Land Warrant
No. 5 for 320 acres as "attorney in fact" for the heirs of Sgt.
Floyd, which was his land grant for being on the expedition.
Those heirs were Davis, Elizabeth and Mary Lee. her siblings
gave it all to Mary, see below. By 1839, she sold it to others.
The original conveyance is fascinating, including both Lewis's
and Clark's signatures. Inscribed on the back of the land
warrant itself is this:
QUOTE:
Agreeably to a power of attorney executed to me by Thomas M.
Winn, Elizabeth Winn and Davis Floyd, bearing date the 14th day
of December, 1806 I do hereby assign the within lands (?) to
Mary Floyd of the Indiana Territory her heirs or assigns.
(signed) Wm Clark atty in fact for Thos M. Winn Eliz Winn Davis
Floyd heirs at law to Charles Floyd deceased.
Witness
Meriwether Lewis
C Rogers
John W Winn
Mary F Winn
END QUOTE
Robert might have married a second time, after the mother of
these children died, and had an Alexander? (Alex Luken)
This Robert is most likely (Clifton F. Davis, 1946, op. cit.,
says he is, and that he was appointed a major in 1796, see Reg.
Ky. Hist. Soc. vol. 28, p 298) the one who raised a company "in
the service of the United States," in July, 1793, Lt. Col. John
Adair's Regiment, Maj. Gen. Charles Scott's command of the
Kentucky Mounted Volunteers in the Frontier Wars, which served
until Nov. 11, 1793. Among the 83 officers and men are William
Tuley, a sergeant, John Calloway, a corporal, and a John Floyd,
a private. In the spring of 1794 another force is raised, again
led by Gen. Scott, and Capt. Robert Floyd is on the battalion
staff in Major Aquila Whittaker's battalion as a mounted
volunteer until the following October.
See also Murtie June Clark's "American Militia in the Frontier
Wars, 1790-1796," Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, 1990,
Kentucky section, where Alex notes the following entries: Major
Aquila Whitakers Battalion for June 13 to Oct. 26 1794 included
Captain Robert Floyd, for 77 days service: Major General Charles
Scott's Command, Ky. Mounted Militia, 1793 Wayne's War, July to
November 1793, Captain Robert Floyd; and Company, Adair's
Regiment, Wayne's War, 1794 June to Oct. 1794, Captain Robert
Floyd.
There is a John Floyd in Robert Floyd's Compamy from 10/9 to
11/9/1793
Davis notes that the Minute Book of the Court of General Quarter
Sessions, Clark Co., Ind., April Term, 1801, records that "it is
ordered that the ferry kept across the Ohio by Major Robert
Floyd should be taxed seven dollars for the present year."
Alex Luken provides this excellent summary of Robert and his son
Davis, et al:
"Robert Clark Floyd liquidated his property in Jefferson Co. KY
in 1799 and moved with his wife Lillian to "Knox Co. Northwest
Territory." He resided in Vincennes IN, where in 1802, he was a
juror in United States v. Hurst. Lillian, it is believed, died
ca. 1802. Charles Floyd (editor: later of the Lewis and Clark
journey) was given the job delivering the mail between Vincennes
and Louisville, where Thomas Minor Winn was the postmaster. Mary
Lee was sent to live with Elizabeth and Thomas in Louisville.
After Charles' death on the expedition, George Rogers Clark
arranged for a commission for Robert, and he was not heard from
again. It is believed that he moved back to KY and died here,
possibly marrying again. There is a family in Hardin Co.which is
of the right age, that of Alexander Floyd, who had a son named
Robert C. Floyd, so perhaps Robert did marry a second time.
"Davis Floyd was married first to Susannah Jones Johnston Lewis,
daughter of Benjamin Johnston and Dorothy Jones. She was the
widow of G. W. Lewis, having only been married two years before
he died. Susannah's brother, William Johnston, was the county
recorder for Jefferson Co., KY and married Thomas Minor Winn's
sister, Betsy Winn. They owned Cave Hill Farm, which is now Cave
Hill Cemetery. Davis and Susannah had two known children,
possibly three--Gabriel Jones Floyd, was the oldest, then
Charles Floyd, named for his brother. Davis Floyd resided first
in Clarksville, IN, about 200 yards from George Rogers Clark's
cabin. He was a pilot on the falls of the Ohio. He also resided
for a time in Knox Co., as he was a territorial legislator and a
close friend of William Henry Harrison. Susannah's brother,
General Washington Johnston (that's his name, not a military
title) was a respected judge in Knox Co. Davis Floyd was the
contractor responsible for building the courthouse in the "new"
capital in Corydon, IN. The house that he built is still
standing and is a historic site as it became Gov. Hendricks
headquarters.
"Susannah died ca. 1808, and in 1809, Davis Floyd married
Elizabeth Robards Davis, widow of Thomas Terry Davis,
congressional representative and U. S. Territorial Judge for the
Indiana territory. Coincidentally, he was both responsible for
introducing Davis Floyd to Aaron Burr, and the judge at Davis'
treason trial for his involvement with the Burr affair. The move
to Natchez ca. 1808 it is believed, coincided with the death of
both Robert and Susannah, and with Winn cousins taking up
residence in Mississippi. Elizabeth Robards Davis was the niece
of Lewis Robards, who married first Rachel Donelson, wife of
Andrew Jackson, and second, Hannah Withers Winn, sister of
Thomas Minor Winn. Lewis Robards resided in Bullitt Co., KY but
had slave trading interests in Natchez.
"Both Davis and his son Gabriel served in the military during
the War of 1812. Davis remained politically active, both as a
legislator and a judge in Harrison Co. He was a bit of a jack of
all trades, running a brick kiln in Corydon, while also having a
dry goods business with his son Gabriel, and I believe also
running an inn, plus acting as contractor for various building
projects. In 1819, he lost everything he had in the financial
panic of that year. All of his property was sold at the
courthouse door to satisfy his mortgages which were called in.
He then ran for Congress as a representative from IN but was
defeated by either Harrison or Hendricks (doing this off the top
of my head.) After that, he wasn't heard from for a year or so,
except that he did surface in Cincinnati with something to do
about canal development. In 1823, he was appointed land
commissioner to Florida by James Monroe. He died in December
1831, in Leon Co. In 1835, his estate was involved in lawsuits
pertaining to the Lafayette property in Florida; his executors
were Benjamin Chaires and Betsy Floyd.
"Charles, his son, is listed on the 1830 census in Leon Co.
Gabriel was appointed customs officer for Appalachicola in 1832.
He died in St. Louis in 1842, beaten to death in a break-in at
his home. His widow, Sarah M. Conn Floyd, is listed on the 1850
Clark Co. IN census, with a young boy named Gabriel Jones Floyd.
Elizabeth Floyd, his daughter, not sure which mother, married
James S. Linn, clerk of the courts, in Leon Co. FL in 1828.
"About Robert Floyd, his son with Elizabeth Robards Davis,
nothing is known. There is a marriage in Jefferson Co. KY
between Robert Floyd and Sarah Floyd, widow of Gabriel, in 1852,
but it is not known if these are the same people. Sarah Floyd
filed for Gabriel's pension in 1849." (Many thanks to Alex Luken
of Louisville, Ky., May 23, 2002)
And this also from Alex, 2003:
"In the Floyd family correspondence file at the Filson Club,
there are several letters of interest. One is a letter dated
April 5, 1929 from a Mrs. W. A. Moody RFD #1, Jeffersontown KY,
enquiring about Robert Floyd. One of Haley Buckner's daughters,
Keziah, I believe, married a Moody. She writes to R. C. Ballard
Thruston at the Filson Club:
'Dear Sir;
'I have temporarily in my possession a piece of paper which
reads thus:
'Jefferson County, to wit.
At a court held for said county in Louisville on Thursday the
third of December 1793 this Indenture of Bargain and sale from
Robert Floyd and wife to Andrew Potts was acknowledged by the
said Robert Floyd as his act and ordered to be recorded. Teste,
Stephen Ormsby, Clerk'
'If possible please answer the following questions concerning
this paper.
Was the above mentioned Robert Floyd a relative of Colonel John
Floyd and if so, what was the relationship. Also, did Robert
Floyd own a considerable tract of land along Floyd's Fork in
Jefferson County? If so, when and how did he obtain possession
of this land?'
The response, from Ludie Kinkead of the Filson Club:
'...In Old Kentucky Deeds and Entries by Willard Rouse Jillson I
find in Jefferson County for Robert Floyd, entry for 500 acres
recorded in Book A, page 277, April 13, 1783 located in the
Knobbs. In deed book 2 Jefferson County you will find a deed
from Philip Buckner and Tabby his wife of this county to, Oct.
14, 1791, to Robert Floyd for 250 acres on headwaters of the
Licking Fork of Beargrass, acknowledged Jan. 3, 1792. In Deed
Book 5, page ? deed from Robert Floyd and wife Lillian of
Northwest Territory to Henry Tups of Jefferson County dated
September 24, 1799, one tract of 243 acres on Floyd's Fork, also
a deed from Robert Floyd and wife Lillian of the Western
Territory also dated September 24, 1799 to Jacob Zehnder, of 95
acres in Jefferson County, and still another from Robert Floyd
and wife Lillian of Knox County, Territory Northwest of the Ohio
River to Davis Floyd of Jefferson County, 500 acres on Chenoweth
Run, being a moirty of 1000 acres an entry survey made in the
name of Granville Smith and said Robert Floyd, original deed to
Robert Tyler, agent vendue of Davis Floyd, etc. I also find his
name in the index to Deed Book 6 and 7 in Jefferson County.
'I do not find anything specific stating where he got land but
as John Floyd says Robert and Charles are to complete his
surveys and as the surveyors received a percentage of land for
the work, I imagine he got at least some of it that way...'
"(Alex continues) I believe that tract of land in the Knobbs
refers to land near where the Jefferson Memorial Forest is
located. Robert's brother, Nathaniel Floyd, was a resident of
Williamsville, which I understand was located on the Ohio River
on the opposite side of the Salt River from West Point, KY This
lies not too far from Harrison Co., I do believe. A ferry back
and forth would be a simple thing, and moving across the river
would be simple. The last two mentions I have seen for Robert is
that he and Davis testified at the trial of US v. Hurst in
Vincennes in 1802, and in either 1804 or 1807 (this is off the
top of my head...) William Clark asked for a commission for a R
C Floyd, in the event that the US went to war with Spain over
the free navigation of the Mississippi River. Nothing ever came
of it. It is possible that Robert Floyd moved to Hardin Co. and
married again to a Hart because there is a family there with a
son named Alexander Floyd, who had a son named Robert C. Floyd.
In one of the letters in Corydon from Clifton Davis, there is an
inquiry about an Alexander Floyd, but does not specify the
relationship. BTW, there is an unspecified Floyd-Hurst
relationship..."
