Thomas Flood, in his own words |
| If he could speak to us today, Thomas Flood might describe his life as follows. |
 |
Because I could speak the languages of many tribes, I succeeded my father, Col. John Flood, as interpreter for the southern Indians at the same pay March 1661/2.  I was also a militia captain in Surry County and, as acting coroner, presided when 2 men drowned watering a horse 20 February 1668/9. |
|
Faith and I were the parents of at least Thomas Jr. and a daughter who married Edward Bailey. |
|
County tax ledgers that still remain from 1668 to 1703 include my name for the years 1668-9. |
|
I was dying and “weake in body” 19 April 1670 when I sold to Nathaniel Knight land left me by my “father Col. John Flood, Gent.” and was dead by 6 June 1670 when the tax ledger of that date included the name of “Mrs. Faith Flood.” |

Connection to Lawrence Smith? |
|
The will of Lawrence Smith in Isle of Wight County remembered wife, Jane, and children Faith, Flood, Absalom, Jane, Sarah, and Hannah. We have not determined his connection to the family of Thomas Flood, if any (will dated 10 June 1746 and proved 9 June 1748). |
