Floyd, thank you for writing. You can see your query motivated my research partner, Carol and me to revisit our records. So, we found plenty to compare with the pension record and we are sure Robert was Andrew's child, but your point of Robert not being alive in 1851 seems most probable. I went looking and found that his 2nd wife Sally Carpenter Floyd was still living in Lincoln, NC with her two daughters b1834 and 1837 in 1850, but she was in the house of her mother Milly Carpenter. I can assume by this record, combined with the lack of mention in the 1851 listing of living children, that Robert was dead by 1850. His youngest child was born in 1837 and he was living in the 1840 Lincoln, NC census. In the cemetery records where his first wife Elizabeth d1830 was buried between her parents, and his and Sally's infant son, Nathan b1833 d1835 was buried, there is no mention of Robert Floyd. Near to Elizabeth Baird Floyd is an unreadable stone, and two unmarked graves so one could possibly belong to Robert. Perhaps there are tax or probate records in Lincoln that could verify his time of death, but it seems that the 1855 record is not for this same Robert. We'll keep exploring. Thanks for pointing out this data for our comparison. Cynthia (and Carol)
