James G. Lloyd is a son of Elder William B. and Mary E. (Hall) Lloyd. 
The father was born in Georgia in 1808, and when young was taken by 
his parents to Alabama, where he afterward married and lived until 
their removal to Noxubee County, Miss., where the mother died. She was 
a native of Alabama, and several years her husband's junior. Mr. Lloyd 
still lives in Mississippi, where he has engaged in farming, and 
preaching in the Missionary Baptist Church for over forty years. The 
mother of our subject was also a Missionary Baptist. Mr. Lloyd has 
always been a Democrat. By his first marriage he had six sons and one 
daughter, and by his second one son and one daughter. James G. Lloyd 
was the third child, and was born in Noxubee County, Miss., October 
22, 1835, where he was reared upon a farm and educated in the old 
subscription schools. When twenty years old he began life on his own 
account as an overseer. In 1858 he married Elizabeth Sallis, a native 
of Alabama, by whom he had three children: William S. (deceased), 
Susan E. (deceased) and James H. Mrs. Lloyd died in 1866, and a year 
later he was married to Miss Mary C. Black, who was the mother of four 
children: Richard A., Lydia C., Durward P. and Carrie C. Having been 
left a widower a second time, in 1876, in 1878 Mr. Lloyd wedded Martha 
C. Garner, who bore him one child, Bettie L., and died in 1879. In 
1880 Mrs. Fannie E. Pile, nee Mayfield, became his wife. She had three 
children by her first husband, viz.: Theodore, Wallace and Herschel. 
She and Mr. Lloyd are the parents of five, named as follows: Amzy B., 
Josie, Virgie E., Bonnie E. and Levie T. Mr. Lloyd and his four wives 
were all united with the Missionary Baptist Church. In 1874 Mr. Lloyd 
came to this county, and is now the owner of 120 acres of land, sixty 
being well improved and cultivated, and well fitted with good 
buildings. In the fall of 1861 Mr. Lloyd enlisted in Company C, 
Fortieth Mississippi Volunteer Infantry, and served in the Confederate 
army until the close of the war. He participated in the battle of 
Iuka, second battle of Corinth, and at Vicksburg was surrendered to 
the enemy, but afterward exchanged. He also went on the Georgia 
campaign. He was never wounded.
