    Notes 
    • George Rogers Clark Floyd is thought to have had some nine children by three partners over several years. One of these partners seems to be Cosby Burress. I'm assuming she must have been a mistress as they never married and many of his other children were born around the same time as his children with Cosby. In 1860 Cosby is found in Kentucky, living next door to George and his son Rush. I'm guessing she either followed him to Kentucky or he brought her with him. By 1870 Cosby is back in Tazewell and George is in West Virginia. Perhaps she finally got tired of his shit and left him?
