Mordina Jane Boog inherited the plantation home called

The "Clinton" home then went to their daughter, Catherine "Pat" Sophia Floyd & her husband, John Swan Russell. "Capt. Richard Floyd Commands the Camden and Glynn Volunteers, and Henry Floyd a youth of not 19 years was the first Volunteer from his County and is now a Volunteer against the
Creeks" (Letter on 24 June 1836 from Gen. John Floyd, Bellevue Place near Jeffersonton, to Miss E. J. Caldwell, Augusta, Maine - The Floyd Letters 1823-1841, comp. by John Hughes Corson). In 1838, Henry H. Floyd was a Sergeant in the Camden County Chasseurs of Horse under the command of his brother, Capt. Richard F. Floyd - the Company was ordered into service by Gen. Charles R.

Lib). On 10 March 1862, Col. Henry H. Floyd, commander of the Camden Co., GA Militia authorized the enlistment of T. L. Gelzer, surgeon (Civil War Records - Natl. Archives, Washington, DC). In late 1862, Col. Henry H. Floyd sent a letter to Gov. Brown outlining the dangerous, unsafe, terrifying conditions in Camden Co. - the letter stated that the Cavalry was stationed too far inland..."My object in addressing you is to procure from you an order to call out the militia for three or six months. I can muster about thirty or forty and can readily subsist men and horses. With these men I can do more efficient service than both companies of cavalry stationed here. Please oblige me by telegraphing to me at Waynesville at the earliest opportunity, as I shall await your answer with great anxiety" (South Georgia Rebels p. 112 & 113). According to notes of Alice C. Tonge - during the Civil War Henry Hamilton Floyd also served as Captain of the Camden County Home Guards - his company was mustered in at St. Marys, GA on 04 August 1863. On 23 July 1863, H. H. Floyd was one of the men apptd. as secretary at a Dist.

He was elected Justice of Inferior Court of CCG on 23 January 1865 but resigned on 10 May 1866 (GA
Genealogical Magazine). Toward the end of the Civil War, the Henry H. Floyd family "moved to Troupville, the present town of Valdosta" (Letter from M. H. Floyd to Hazlehurst R. Noyes, 21 May 1932 - original in possession of Sabra Noyes Goldsmith, Panama City, FL). In May 1866 he relinquished "all of my right, claim and title as heir of the late Genl. John Floyd (of Camden County Georgia, deceased) to a tract of land known as Bellevue Place" to Richard F.
Floyd (CCG Deed Bk. R p. 190). On 21 December 1866, for "the sum of one dollar and fifty cents" he sold to William Phelan of Nassau Co. FL, trustee for his son, Thomas - 300 acres bounded by lands of Dr. Delaroche's estate & Bellevue Place ... on Shelby Road where Bellevue Road comes to it ... near Yankee Field just where the corn house stood, one half of this land has been planted & known as Corn Field (CCG Deed Bk. Q p. 132). On 25 May 1867, for "the sum
of five hundred dollars" he sold to Samuel C. Thompson of Duval Co. FL - 200 acres bounded on the East by Pointfield Road & Bellevue Place; on the North by Pointfield Road & Brown Grass Field; on the West by lands formerly owned by H. H. Floyd but now owned by Malcolm A. Crawford; on the South by the main road leading to Jeffersonton & known as Long Reach (CCG Deed Bk. Q p.118 & 119). "Journal," (a daily log) kept by Henry H. Floyd, 23 February 1852 - 23
May 1853 (Original plus an 84 pg. transcription by Marmaduke H. Floyd - both in Floyd Collection #1308, GA Hist. Soc. Lib.). Mordina Jane Boog Floyd died 24 February 1862 at Clinton in CCG & is buried in the Floyd Fam. Cem. nr. the site of Fairfield Plantation. Henry Hamilton Floyd died in his daughter's home at Clinton in CCG, on 25 February 1873 & was buried with Masonic honors at Temple Bluff Cemetery [gravestone missing] on the St. Marys River.
NOTE: In the early 1980's, Camden County historian, Eloise Bailey Thompson, persuaded her son, Johnny Bailey, and a friend of his, to plunge into the St. Marys River off of Temple Bluff. In the middle of winter, when the river is supposed to be clearer, the boys put on their wet suits and used their diving tanks in an effort to salvage the lost tombstone of Henry Hamilton Floyd. The tombstone sat close to the edge of the river bank and was apparently either pushed or fell
into the river. The boys dove for several hours but their rescue operation was hampered by thick layers of silt, which, over the years had covered everything underwater. Henry Hamilton Floyd's tombstone was never found.

Today, he has begun his insolence again. He is much larger than they are, or they should give him such a thrashing as he never had. As we are strangers here, you do not know perhaps, that the Floyds never allow themselves to be molested in any way without retaliating. If our children trouble yours, I will punish them severely, & if your son molests my brothers, I expect you to do likewise..." (Original letter in Bryan-Lang Hist. Lib.). According to Alice C. Tonge's files: She was living in Baldwin Co., GA, when on 24 August 1871, she sold her portion of her inheritance known as the "Kings Bay Tract" in Camden County, GA, to her half brother, Samuel A.
