Duff Floyd
Duff Floyd (1900-1980) was a member of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms - or ATF, as it is commonly known - during the mid-twentieth century who lived in Pickens County, Georgia. During the peak of his career, his territory included two of the United States' most well-known moonshining hotbeds in Dawson and Gilmer counties, combating many of the most prolific moonshiners of the day. ==Early life==
Duff Floyd was born in 1900 to Jefferson Jackson "Jeff" Floyd and Mary Adeline "Addie" Linn. 〔Ancestry.com, ()〕 On February 1, 1929, nine years into Prohibition, Floyd enlisted as a Justice Department Prohibition agent in Georgia. Originally appointed to a territory that covered Athens, Georgia, he soon established a strong track record, including the capture of a moonshine operation south of Loganville, Georgia on his first assignment. His success led to his transfer to the more active moonshining territory of Cherokee, Dawson, Gilmer, Jackson, and Pickens counties, where he would remain the rest of his career. 〔Dabney, Joseph E., Mountain Spirits: A Chronicle of Corn Whiskey from King James' Ulster Plantation to America's Appalachians and the Moonshine Life, pp. 183-84 (Bright Mountain Books, 1974).〕
