From 1600 after the Battle of Mezőkeresztes (1596), the southern part of Szabolcs County was a completely abandoned, conquered area by the Turks, where tax collectors didn’t try to collect taxes.
There were no data from Földes, except those who moved to Debrecen.
In 1616 among the villages belonging to Bajom Castle the name of the village was visible, but there was hardly anyone left from the old landowners in it.
Földes together with Szabolcs County at that time were a collision place among the Royal Hungary, Principality of Transylvania and the Turkish Empire.
After the Peace of Nikolsburg (1621) the village belonged to Transylvania.
On 3 July 1624 the Prince of Transylvania Gábor Bethlen commanded the Estates of Bihar County to produce under oath a truthful testimony records of the nobles’ privileges of Földes and Sáp.
After the execution it was released by the Várad Chapter on 11 June 1625.
After the death of Gábor Bethlen (1629), as it was described in the Peace of Nikolsburg, Szabolcs County with Földes and 7 Tisza counties were connected to the Royal Hungary, but in 1645 they returned under the power of György I Rákóczi Transylvanian Prince.
On September 23, 1645 a Letter of Defense was gained from György I Rákóczi against of wandering soldiers, including the recognition and strengthening of their noble privileges too.
First time the seal of Földes stamped in wafer appeared in 1652 on a letter to Szabolcs county with a circumscription: The Seal of Földes.
It was under Turkish rule that the two noble villages with full legal authority Földes and Sáp, had made each other's courts as an appeal authority and they worked so until 1735.
After György II Rákóczi's campaign to Poland, the Turkish launched a revenge offensive in early April 1660.
Szejdi Ahmed the pasha of Buda destroyed the areas of Hajdúk (peasant freelance soldiers) in Szabolcs and Bihar Counties.
This affected Földes mainly after the fall of Várad, when the villages of Szabolcs and Bihar Counties were distributed as tributes among the fighting Turks.
The heavy taxes and cruel treatments had forced the population to flee to the neighboring counties, from where they came back to their own lands after the Peace of Vasvár (1664).
This is why Mátyás Nógrádi the Bishop of Tiszántúl and the pastor of Nagybajom wrote in the introduction of his book, The gateway of salvation (Idvesség kapuja):...Földes Sáp Konyár and Bajom are damaged locations (…Fődeske, Sáp, Konyár és Bajom megromlott helyecske).
Mihály Rápóti's diary attested that in 1678 the population of the village had consisted of 79 families which had meant about 320 people.
In 1679 the plague was so huge that it had exterminated more than half of the population and only 31 families survived it.
Prior to the Turkish final expulsion the tribulations were intensified.
The attacks of Turkish, Tartaric, Kuruc (Hungarian rebel) Labanc (German loyal to emperor) troops had forced the people living here to escape again and again, but their own landownership always brought them back.
In those times however Mezőszentmiklós was forever abandoned.

	
The first thing of the villagers after the Turkish times was to procure another privilege letter from the King of Hungary Lipót I (Habsburg) what he gave out for them on 2 October 1692 in the castle of Ebersdorf.
They had to obtain newer privilege letter during the Rákóczi's War of Independence.
Prince Ferenc II Rákóczi gave them two confirmatory diplomas: one in Tokaj on 28 October 1703 and the other in Eperjes on 5 March 1708.
After the return of the Habsburg rule the following privilege letter was given by Károly III  on 22 July 1718 in Vienna.
The Hungarian translation of this have been preserved by many families in Földes until today.
Then Szabolcs County had launched lawsuits against the village and the nobles which were being lasted more than fifty years.
These were the following ones.
