ORIGINAL LLOYD FAMILY IN AMERICA

For those of you who may not know about the first of our Lloyds in America - I will provide here the original family tree and try to give you some information on them.

John Lloyd b.5 Jan 1704 (Old Christmas Day) in London, England.  He was (likely) a shoemaker and worked as an apprentice at 14 years old in 1718.  John married his first wife when he was 20 years old, which was not something you just go do as an apprentice, and he was demoted to a journeyman because he married without permission.  His first wife and child died around 1725.  He was a member of the Church of England.

He was found guilty of theft of Samuel Peter's property in London in 1726 (see previous post) and was sentenced to go to America and be indentured for 14 years.

Came to America abord the Rappahanock to Baltimore, Maryland on 10 Mar 1727.

m. ~1742 (15 years after coming to America and serving his indenture), in Orange Co., Virginia (most likely) to Prudence Emrey (Embree, Emory, etc) b. ~1720

John and Prudence took their family to live in the Shenandoah Valley around 1750.  John would serve as a Reader at McKay's Chapel on 13 Nov 1767, for a salary of 6.0.0 (pounds perhaps..?)

Their children:
Thomas Lloyd b. 2 Oct 1744.  Served in the Militia Unit of Frederick Co. VA (1776-1780).  Married Patience McCracken.  Was a member of the Church of England and then the Protestant Episcopal Church.  He lived his whole life in Fredrick Co., VA.  d. 1 Dec 1805.

Lydia Lloyd b. 24 Apr 1755

George Lloyd b. 4 Feb 1758.  He would move to Ohio.

Joseph Lloyd b. 1761.  Joseph wrote a letter to his nephew (Jammy) that is a tremendous source of family history information (see previous post).  He later lived in Kentucky.
