II--Governors of the State--1776-1861
John Buchanan Floyd
born in Blacksburg, June 1, 1806, eldest son of Governor John Floydand Letitia Preston, his wife. He was graduated from the College ofSouth Carolina, in 1826, and began the practice of the law in 1828. Heresided in Arkansas, 1836-39, then came back to Virginia and settledin Washington county, Virginia, where he engaged in law practice. Heserved several years in the legislature, and became governor January1, 1849. During his administration the Washington monument, whichgraces the public square in Richmond was commenced, and hisadministration was able and efficient. He was made secretary of war in1857 by President Buchanan, and was subjected to unjust charges in theNorth, because he removed some troops to the West in 1860, thoughhostility of the Indians demanded it. He was also charged withcovertly conveying government munitions of war to the South, but aninvestigation by a special Congressional committee exonerated himfully. When Major Robert Anderson moved his garrison from FortMoultrie to Fort Sumter, Floyd considered that the status quo whichthe administration promised the South Carolina commissioners topreserve had been broken, and on the refusal of the president torestore the troops he resigned. In September, 1861, he was madebrigadiergeneral, Confederate States army, and held command withGeneral Wise, in West Virginia. He was transferred to Tennessee, andin February, 1862, by hard fighting extricated his command and escapedwith it from Fort Donelson. He fell under the displeasure of PresidentDavis for thus leaving Generals Pillow and Buckner, and was relievedof his command. The legislature of Virginia did not approve of thisaction, and made him major-general in the state service and directedhim to recruit and organize a division of troops from among theclasses not embraced in the conscription of the Southern Confederacy.He raised 2000 men and operated on the Big Sandy river with success.He was attacked with cancer of the stomach and forced to return home.He died near Abingdon, Washington county, Virginia, August 26, 1863.General Floyd married early in life his cousin, Sarah Buchanan, butleft no issue.
