Henry De La Warr Flood (September 2, 1865 – December 8, 1921) was a Representative from the Commonwealth of Virginia to the United States House of Representatives, brother of U.S. Representative Joel West Flood and uncle of U.S. Senator Harry Flood Byrd.
Born in "Eldon" in Appomattox County, Virginia, on September 2, 1865 to former Virginia state senator and CSA Major Joel Walker Flood (1839-1916) and his first wife Ella (1844-1885), Henry Flood had an elder sister Eleanor Bolling Flood Byrd (1864-1957)) as well as a younger half brother Joel West Flood (1894 -1964). Henry Flood attended public schools in Appomattox and Richmond, Virginia. He received his undergraduate degree from Washington and Lee University and his law degree from the University of Virginia.
On April 18, 1914, the middle-aged bachelor married Anna Florence Portner (1888 - 1966), daughter of German beer brewer and inventor Robert Portner. They wed at All Souls Unitarian Church in Washington, D.C., followed by a reception at the Pan American Union Building. His young namesake Henry D. Flood III died in 1920, the year of his birth, as had their daughter Anna Portner Flood in 1916. Their children Bolling Byrd Flood (1915 - 2000) and Eleanor Faulkner Flood Schoellkopf (1917 - 1975) survived their parents
