- In 1783 Virginia organized the government of Kentucky and Floyd was appointed to be one of the first two judges of Kentucky.[2][15] Later in the year in March he would write Preston informing him of his brother in law Billy Buchanan being killed by Indians.[3] Also in the letter Floyd wrote that he dreamed that his fate might become the same. This proved true as a month later Floyd was wounded on April 8, 1783 by Indians while on his way to Bullitt's Lick while wearing the scarlet coat he had brought from Paris.[9] He died of his injuries on April 10, 1783.[2] His widow Jane preserved the scarlet coat until 1812 when the coat was buried with her, as she had requested.[9] Floyd is buried near Floyd's Station at Breckinridge Cemetery
