  • The Present Authors Gave a Sketch of Letitia Preston Floyd
    Letitia Preston Floyd's "My Dear Rush" Letter Jim Glanville and Ryan Mays Copyright 2016 Introduction The present authors gave a sketch of Letitia Preston Floyd (1779- 1852) in the previous volume of the SmithfieldReview.! As background for the reader of this article, it may be brieflyreiterated that Letitia Preston Floyd was born on the Virginia frontier in the newly created Montgomery County. Her parents were the Scotch-Irish immigrant William Preston of Augusta County and Susanna Smith of Hanover County. In 1804 she married John Floyd in Kentucky and went on to become a plantation owner, the mother of twelve children (seven of whom survived to adulthood and marriage), and the First Lady of Virginia. The "My Dear Rush" letter is a 32-page manuscript writtenby Mrs. Floyd dated February 22, 1843. The authors of this article discovered the original copy of this document in January 2014 (after its being closely held within the Preston family for 161 years and ten furtheryears in a Smithfield closet) in a storage box at the Smithfield Plantation.2 The manuscript is in the form of a letter to her son Benjamin Rush Floyd and because of its opening salutation is referred to as the "My Dear Rush" letter. The letter was written at her home on the Cavan estate in Burke's Garden in Tazewell County, Virginia, at the instigation of the historian Lyman Draper. 3 The letter is in Mrs. Floyd's own hand and records many things that can be found nowhere else in the historical record. It is also a crucial document for understanding the European settling of southwest Virginia that was spearheaded by her great-uncle James Patton and her father William Preston.

  • The Naming of Floyd County
    THE NAMING OF FLOYD COUNTY In January 1819, a new Indiana county came into being by vote of the legislature in session at Corydon, at that time the state capital. The new county was christened Floyd, and New Albany was designated as the seat of county government. On these facts the record is clear. But the reason for the selection of the name Floyd is not so clear – in fact, there have been differences of opinion for at least a century on the origin of the name. The story of that dispute and the two theories of the naming of the county are the subject of today’s program. For which Floyd was Floyd County named – Col. John Floyd or Major Davis Floyd? That is the essence of the dispute on the origin of the county’s name. There is no doubt that it was named for one or the other, but conflicting claims have been made through the years as to which Floyd was honored when the County was named. Col. John Floyd was a Virginian who settled near Louisville with his family and relatives in 1779. He was a friend of Daniel Boone and George Rogers Clark and his wife was a niece of Col. William Preston, a distinguished early Kentuckian. John Floyd had been in Kentucky before the Revolutionary War as a surveyor and had helped erect the pioneer fort at Boonsboro. Both a son and grandson of John Floyd later served as governors of Virginia. Floyd’s Fork of Beargrass Creek takes its name from Floyd’s Station, the location of the Floyd County settlement near the present site of St.
