After I first posted this story, found more information.
Adding information to my stories is an never ending job, as there
is always more information to add, so one must come back to visit

by Evelyn Flood
Some family members spell the last name FLOOD, while others
spell it FLUD;but they all descend from John and Rebecca Mayo?
FLOOD. John and Rebecca FLOOD had known children:
Nathan FLOOD, John L FLUD, ++James FLUD,David Flood,
Elizabeth FLOOD JONES and an unknown daughter.
The children were supposedly born in North Carolina in unknown
county, but perhaps Pitt County,North Carolina?
One child claims they were born in Carolinas and another Tennessee
The FLOOD family was first found in St.Francois County, Missouri
in 1830's. They moved to Arkansas to what was then Carroll County,
Arkansas in about 1836 to White Township.
James Columbus FLUD descends from the ++JAMES FLUD side.
JAMES COLUMBUS FLUD was the son of NATHANIEL HARVEY FLUD and
LOUIZA CATHERINE SHATSWELL.
James Columbus FLUD was born 10 Sept 1879 in Newton County,Arkansas.
He married PERMELIA ANGELINE TENNISON on 27 Jan 1898 in
Newton County, Arkansas by W.B.NICHOLS, J.P.
Permelia Angeline TENNISON was the daughter of William G TENNISON
and AMANDA"Mandy"RICKETTS. William G TENNISON was from the
John TENNISON and Rebecca Jane GILMORE family.
William G TENNISON had first married SARAH SMITH ca 1866 in Newton
County, Arkansas and they had two known children:
1.Rebecca Jane TENNISON O'NEAL,
(See Rebecca Jane Tennison O'Neal story on my web site)
2.GWIN MONROE TENNISON.
Sarah Smith was daughter of Austin Smith and Rachel Whiteley
After SARAH SMITH TENNISON died, William married AMANDA RICKETTS in
1877,Newton County,Arkansas
Permelia Angeline Tennison was born in 1879 in Newton County,
Arkansas.
Evelyn Flood's children are related to the FLUDS and TENNISONS
this way through William S Ricketts (Mandy's brother) who married
Sarah SMITH (daughter of Jeremiah and Margaret ARMSTRONG-BIRD SMITH).
William S and Sarah Smith RICKETTS were the parents of
Hester Hosannie RICKETTS who married Simon David FLUD of the
George W "Uncle Wash" 1843 and Rachel Caroline HARRIS FLOOD family.
Hester and Simon Flud's son, Lee Chester FLOOD, was this author's
father-in-law. Lee Chester Flood's son was Kenneth FLOOD.
(Evelyn Flood's husband) who died in 1980.
This is why this author has researched so many families---nearly all
Newton County, Arkansas older families are related in some way to
the FLOOD families.
