First, I'd like to Thank Mark James, as we worked together on the Tynes and 
Floyd's.
Thanks to Bonnie Hoggard for working so hard on the Floyd's.
Thanks to Pete Austin for my Harrell line and helping with the Parker line.
Thanks to Mary Jo Parker-Perkins for working on the Parker line with me.
 WE ARE ALL COUSINS

George Turner Floyd b. June, 1886 d. June, 1989. He Married Mary Jane Tynes b. 
April 8, 1905 d. July 24, 2002. My Grandparents. They both are buried at 
Edgwood Cemetery rt. 13 north of Windsor. Along side my grandparents is my aunt 
Arlene Floyd b. 1927 d. 1947 in a car accident in Virginia. My family comes 
from Va. to Bertie County, NC.

Grandpa George was born in Lewiston and my Grandma from Mendham, Morris 
County,NJ. All though grandma was born in NJ. Her parents DeGrasse Tynes and 
Gabrella (Ella)Parker came from Roxobel.

Every Summer I'd come from Philadelphia, Pa., to spent the summers with my 
grandparents. The best time we had was every night grandma and I would go out 
to the porch and sit in the swing my grandpa built and Grandma would tell me 
stories about all the family. Had I known she was doing genealogy, I would have 
been envolved young. It wasn't until she passed and left me a big box of 
pictures, papers, wills, marriage records,delayed births for grandpa and his 
honorable discharge from the service WW1. Now 4 Times a year I am down in 
Windsor,NC, looking up more information. Also, Virginia and Jackson, NC for 
proof of my Lineage.

Mary Jane Tynes-Floyd along side her Mother Gabrella (Ella)Parker-Tynes, 
workerd the fields. Tobacco, cotton and such. Grandpa was a logger, then the 
war and when he returned he became an auto mechanic.

What a mix we have! Many wrote about Joseph S. Parker who married Mary Moore 
Rawls and goes into the Bazemore's. Joseph S. is my gg-uncle, brother to James 
Robert Parker my gg-grandfather who married Ellen E. Harrell, Daughter of Jesse 
Harrell and Elizabeth Connor and goes back to the first Pioneer John Harrell my 
8th grandfather. The Floyd Line runs into Todd, Bazemore, etc.

The Tynes line married into Cox line, Newsom,West, Lawerance,Smith, Wilkins etc.
The Parkers are out of the House of England and Brwsholme Hall at 
www.browsholme.co.uk/genealogy.htm


We know through Horas Peele we are related to the Peele line at 
www.txdirect.net/~hpeele/
Timothy Tynes my 7th grandparent first apears in Isle of Wight County, Va. 28 
July 1703 and bought land from Christopher Reynolds,Isle of Wight deed book 2, 
p. 74-76 < Mark James >


Now what does all this have to do with George Turner Floyd? He Started it all 
when he married my grandma, Mary Jane Tynes. His sence of humor was terrific 
and could make you laugh all the time. Grandpa would take me out every day to 
visit Pete Tynes auto shop in Lewiston,NC. Some days we would go to a water 
mellon stand and he taught me how to spit water mellon seeds as far as I could.
He loved to play the Banjo at family reunions along with DeGrasse Tynes would 
play the violin. Grandpa, people called freight,I have no Idea why. I called 
him my Chum Buddy. He taught me to drive and run his boat. Grandpa could make a 
great go cart out of a lawn mower, so the children in the neighborhood could 
have fun.


He built the swing on the proch. The back of the swing would half flip and 
become a cradel where 5 generations were rocked to sleep. In Gods Hands he 
went, and one day we will be together riding go carts in heaven.

Additional Comments:
I have in my genealogy. West Tynes Jr.. original Will. His mozzle loader from 
the war of 1812 is with my brother. I have his Delayed Birth record,Honorable 
discharge papers. I have my grandma's birth certificate, marriage cert. and 
when they bought their house on 708 King St. Windsor, NC, I have the original 
title. I have Grandpa's family line of Floyd's. This is my first time. I hope 
it is ok?
