Notes

Note: Some of the information contained in these notes may or may not be correct. Some is speculation, but based on information available at the time. Please understand that there is no documentation for part of this information and proceed with caution in using it.

John's father was from Wales "hence the reason of using the double L in the spelling of our names. He had 2 older brothers, Joseph and Phillip, one a watch maker and the other a printer. John was bound at a young age as an apprentice to a boot and shoe maker and he aspired to become a master craftsman in this trade. He married without the permission of his employer to whom he was bound as an apprentice, and therefore could not become a master craftsman, but would work his life as a journeyman. This marriage took place about 1723 in London, England, to a woman who was born 1704. A child was born to this marriage but the wife and child died suddenly in 1725. It is believed that John Loyd came to America as an indentured prisoner convicted of theft of several shoemaker's tools. His punishment was 14 years of indentured service in America. He was shipped aboard the ship Rappahanock, under the command of Charles Whale on March 10, 1727, bound for Maryland, along with fellow prisoners, 7 men and 1 woman. Nothing more is known of John until his marriage to Prudence Emrey in Orange County, Virginia in 1742. This would be 16 years after his conviction in England. John Loyd served in the Frederick Co. Virginia Militia in the 1750's. At a vestry meeting in November, 1767, John was appointed "reader" of the Parish of Frederick of the Church of England at McKays Chapel. His salary was 6 pounds a year. He served in that capacity again in 1768 and 1769. A vestry of November 27, 1772 showed John Loyd was exempted for payment of Parish livies, which might indicate that he was too old or too feeble to work. John would have been 68 in 1772. All of John Loyd's 5 sons served in either the Continental Army or the Minute Men Militia during the Revolutionary War. While the manner of his coming to America is questionable, he is thought to have been a productive and respected member of the Frederick County community, living most of his adult life there. His appointment as "reader" at McKays Chapel is indicative of the esteem in which he was held by the community and it shows that he was a devout member of the Church of England.

As a starting point, here is an extraction from the beginning of the Weaver book:

"Most of what is known about John and Prudence (Emrey) Lloyd has been preserved in a letter written by their youngest son, Joseph, when Joseph was seventy-seven years of age, the letter having been written in response to an inquiry from Joseph's nephew, James McCracken Lloyd. 1. The full text of Joseph's letter is: Mount Washington Oct 14th 1838. Bullitt County Kentucky

(copied) This found regarding John Lloyd, listed as a grandfather of George W. Lloyd from the above source! The grandfather Lloyd was a native of Wales, came to America in an early day, was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and died from a wound received in that struggle.

Picture of home of John Kelly Lloyd home, Calmes Neck, Virginia.

It was taken between twenty and twenty-five years ago. The photographer was Gordon "Mac" MacDougall, from whom we bought the five acres we now live on.

Mac is about 80, lives alone and has some 25,000 slides which are spottily classified. Mac is still looking for the picture he took of John Kelly Lloyd standing in front of that house. If we find it, THAT's going to be the one you want. chrs,

From Find a Grave

John Lloyd married Prudence Emery!

Born in London and Died in Virgina. He was brought to America as a slave, found in the book "The Complete Book of Emigrants in Bondage" page 505 and his conviction is for stealing items from a shoemaker's shop, found in the "Old Bailey Papers" dated Jan 1726 to Oct 1727. He was sentenced to 14 years of indentured service in America. Lloyd was shipped aboard the Rappahannock in 1727. After his years of slavery, he married Prudence Emery in 1742. In 1767, Lloyd was appointed reader at McKay's Chapel, a very esteemed position. He died in Virgina in 1772! John Lloyd 1704 had 7 children, all his sons served in the Revolutionary War. My 5th Great Grandfather John Emery Lloyd 1747-1785 was in the 4th regiment of Virgina in the Revolutionary War, he later was granted land in Georgia where he died in 1785!

As for the death year of 1772, I got that from a story on Ancestry. It indicates that John Lloyd didn't die in 1761 as some may think. Since he was appointed reader at McKay's chapel in 1767."In November 1772, the Parish exempted John Loyd from payment of Parish levies. Exemption from parish levies may indicate that John Loyd was too old or too feeble to work. A few months after the exemption from levies, his sons John and James left Virginia for Georgia. It may be that John and James left after their father's death". This is where I get the death year of 1772.   

Died without having issue. ???? (Does not make sense with what is stated here.)
