His father William Witcher Floyd (1858-1922); mother Kate Joplin Floyd (1874-1932) married 16 January 1901 in Bosque County, this is shown in Bosque Co. records.

I have a copy of page #6 from the Somervell County Register of births where the doctor or individual who reported the birth (shown as J. B. Gordon reported the birth on Line # 56) some 6 or so weeks later on Dec 2, 1903 indicating  the child was male, white, born Oct 25, 1903, Somerville Co. Texas, near Paluxy, Tx

His notes continue: Legitimate, American, Alive, Wm Floyd & Katie Floyd Paluxy, Texas, J. B. Gordon; Dec 2, 1903; J B Gordon.

My father was named after his Grandfather Rufus G. Floyd who came from Oconaluftee N. C. and settled with his wife Sarah Angeline Mingus Floyd in Bosque County, halfway between Walnut Springs & Glen Rose in 1877 with his 8 children, one of which being William.
