He died ahont 1700. His wife, Susannah, survived him and died in Jan- mary, 1706. at the age of eighty. His son, Richard Floyd, was born May 12. 1665, and married Margaret, daughter of Colonel Matthias Nicoll, the founder of an illustrious family. Her broth- er, William Nicoll, was the first proprietor of the great Patent of Islip, a part of which still remains in the possession of his de- scendants. She was born May 30, 1662, and they were married September 10. 1686. Richard Floyd was prominent in the af- fairs of the province, being judge of the county court and colonel of the militia.

Richard Floyd, the eldest son of this family, married Eliza- beth, daughter of Benjamin Hutchinson, June 4, 1730. She was born March 28, 1709, and died April 16, 1778. Their children were: 1. Richard. born February 26, 1731, died 1792. 2. Eliza- beth, born JJune 4, 1733. 3. John, born December 4, 1735. 4. Margaret, born December 3, 1738. 5. Benjamin, born Decem- ber 4, 1740. 6.

Richard Floyd, the eldest son of this family, was the owner of a large estate at Mastic, Long Island. During the Revolution he was a strong adherent of the Royal cause, and after the war he was one of the many whose estates were confiscated. He went to New Brunswick. and died at St. Johns in 1792.

(first) Elizabeth Ellison; (second) Augusta Van Horne, and left children by the second marriage.
Nicoll Floyd, the youngest son of Richard Floyd (2), was born August 27, 1705, and died March 8, 1755. lle married Ta- bitha, daughter of Jonathan Smith (2), of Smithtown. His life was passed upon the ancestral estate of Mastic. His wife inher- ited a large estate in Smithtown, to which he added by several purchases. Their children are: 1. Ruth. married General Nathaniel Woodhull. 2. William, born December 17, 1734. 3. Tabitha, married Daniel Smith, of Smithtown. 4. Nicoll. 5. Charles. 6. Charity, wife of Hon. Ezra L'Hommedieu. 7. Mary, wife of Edmund Smith. 8. Catharine, wife of General Thomas Thomas. 9. Anna, wife of HIngh Smith, of East Mor- iches, Long Island. Nicoll Floyd, the father of this family, left his estate at Mastie to his son, General William Floyd, and his estate in Smithtown descended to his son Charles, who made it his home.
General William Floyd, the oldest son of this family, had very limited educational opportunities in his early days, but this was more than made up by his natural good sense and strong mental ability. In very early manhood the death of his father made it necessary for him to take charge of the family estate, and he soon became a leading man and enjoyed great popularity. He was in early life an officer in the militia, and rose to the rank of major-general. He was made a delegate to the first Con- tinental Congress. Owing to temporary embarrassment, he applied to his friend, Captain Elias Pelletreau, of Southampton, with whom he had many business dealings, who advanced to him the funds to enable him to go to Philadelphia to attend the Congress. Some years later his little grandson, David G. Floyd, stood by his mother's side while she sewed into the lining of his waistcoat some gold pieces and sent him off on

horseback with a negro slave, mounted on another horse, as an escort to Southampton to repay the loan, a journey which he accomplished with safety and success. In the journals of 1775 the committees on which he served, and his valuable services to the republic about to be established, are very plainly shown. Though his opinion was very frequently called for and his sound judgment fully appreciated, he took very little part in debate. One member of the congress writes, "Floyd, Wisner, Lewis and Alsop, though good men, never quit their chairs." He was present in his seat on the "immortal Fourth," but he and the others of the New York delegation did not sign the Declaration of Independence until the fifteenth of the month. During the whole continuance of the war of the Revolution, he was placed in a very difficult position. The whole of Long Island was entirely under the control of the British, and the estates of prominent Whigs were devastated, and the large property of General Floyd was no exception. His family and that of his brother-in-law, Ezra L'Hommedieu, were compelled, like hun- dreds of others, to take refuge in Connecticut. His own mansion was occupied by the enemy, and the damage he thus sustained was very great.
In 1777 he was chosen state senator, and on November 7 took his seat in the first Constitutional Legislature. On Octo- ber 15 he was chosen member of Congress, and was re-appointed October 14, 1779, together with his brother-in-law, Ezra L'Hommedieu and Ilon. John Sloss Hobart. Upon the adoption of the Federal Constitution in 1788, he was a member of the first Congress which met in New York, March 4, 1789. In 1800 he was one of the electors, and gave his vote for Thomas Jeffer- son and Aaron Burr. In 1801 he was a delegate to the Conven- tion to revise the State Constitution. After this he was for several times a presidential elector, the last being in 1820. In

1795 he was candidate for lieutenant-governor, but was de- feated by Stephen Van Rensselaer.
In 1784 he purchased an extensive tract of land in the west- ern part of the state, and devoted much of his time and labor to an effort to develop it and attract settlers to what was then the " Western Country." For many years it was his custom to spend the summer upon this estate, returning to Mastic in the winter. This practice he continued until the feebleness of old age rendered it impossible. After a long and very useful life, General Floyd died at his residence at Westernville, Oneida county, August 4, 1821, at the age of eighty-seven years.
