The Brunswick Advertiser & Appeal; Saturday 22 December 1883; pg. 3 col. 1

ST. SIMONS DEPARTMENT—Tom Floyd, a noted African, died very suddenly in a 
convulsion last week.  Tom was one of the cargo of Africans on the schooner 
Wanderer, about which such an excitement was produced in Brunswick waters, and 
the trial and acquittal of her captain before the United States Circuit Court 
at Savannah.  Tom was also famous among his deluded class as a “medicine man” 
and manipulator in voodooism and other humbuggery.
