Todd and Mallory Ancestors of Mallory Todd and Bermuda Todd Descendant Chart per Richard K McMurtry, July 2017, revised 2022

1.       Ancestry of Mallory Todd

 

Joseph Todd  b prior to 1731, in Walbrook, London in 1751; document mentions brother John Todd and nephew Joseph Todd

John Todd d 1677/78 Southampton Bermuda md Elizabeth (LNU, possibly Mallory (?) or Cuttrie.   

                       Some say second wife Agnes or Elizabeth Paynter.

                Joseph Todd born prior to 1646 md 1667 Ann Tatum

                                Joseph Todd 1668  d 1708 md Elizabeth Keele (dau of John Keele d 1715)

                                                John Todd (probably born around 1700, possibly the John b1703; likely the

John died 1757, married Angelina Mallory with children:)

                                                                Joseph Todd

                                                                Mallory Todd 1742-1817

                                                                Richard Todd

                                                                Sarah Todd

                                                Dau 1

                                                Dau 2

                                                Miriam Todd probably the Miriam Todd who married Mr. Rogers

                                Elizabeth Todd 1670

                                Ann Todd 1674

 

1.      Joseph Todd d 1708 wife Elizabeth Keele  dau of John Keele per 1715 will (Joseph was wit to will of William Keele in 1698)

                John Todd

                3 daughters – One named Miriam per will of John Keele

Exec: Wife Elizabeth, fatherinlaw John Keele

2.     The will of John Keele in 1715, 7 years after the will of Joseph Todd d 1708 mentions two grandchildren, Miriam and John Todd.

3.     The newspaper record of 1784 says Miriam Rogers was the daughter of Joseph Todd.

 

If any descendant of Miriam Rogers, the wife of Joseph Roges, late of Chowan County, State of North Carolina, yeoman, is now alive and will apply to the subscribers, he or she may hear of something very advantageous.  The above named Mirriam was the daughter of Cap. Joseph todd, of South Hapton parish in the island of Bermuda, and having married he said Joseph Rogers, they removed to the State of Virginia and thence toChowan County in the State of North Carolina.  Any person who can point out the time whe and the place where the last descendant of the above family dep[arted this life (in case they are all dead) will confer a consdierable obligation on John Marrlery and Mallery Todd

    State of Virgina, Isle of Wight county, 18th July 1784

5.     John’s will:

Todd, John  will dated Mar 26 1748,
proved Feb 10 1757 mariner of Southampton, wife Angelina
children: Joseph, Mallory, Richard, Sarah
exec:sons Jos and Mallory, bro-in-law James Perot
wit: James, Robert, and Thomas Dickinson

The reference to brother-in-law James Perot implies Angelina was a Mallory because James Perot was married to Frances Mallory.

 

6.      Martha Todd Bridger:

Martha Mallory md Joseph Bridger (Martha Bridger’s Will of 1789, left legacy to William Todd, son of Mallory Todd; devises to sisters and lists them but lists “children of sister Angelina Todd” where she would have listed Angelina if she were still alive i.e. Mrs. Mary Davis, Mrs. Frances Brown, Ms. Kezian Harvey, children of sister Angeliner Todd.  She also devises to William son of Mallory Todd and to Fanny Robertson Todd.  This in turn suggests that William and Fanny were Angelina’s children by Mallory Todd.  This would imply based on our knowledge from other sources, that Mallory Todd’s other children were by his second wife, Anne Robinson.  Witnesses to will included Richard Todd, presumably the brother of Mallory.)

 

2.       Mallory Family Connections to Todds

William Mallory b abt 1681 md Angelina Hunt b 1681

a.        John Mallory 1715-1788 d Isle of Wight Co

(1)    Angelina Mallory md Mallory Todd

(a)     William Todd

(b)    Fanny Robertson Todd

(2)     Martha Mallory d 1789 VA  md John Bridger

b.        Frances Mallory abt 1712 d 1780 md 1742 to James Perot

(1)     Elliston Perot

(2)     John Perot (who visited his uncle John Mallory in Isle of Wight in 1769)

c.        Angelina Mallory md John Todd d 1757 (will mentions brother in law James Perot)

(1)    Joseph Todd

(2)    Mallory Todd md (1) Angelina Mallory d pr 1789 (2) Anne Robinson

(3)    Richard Todd

(4)    Sarah Todd

This indicates that Mallory Todd (son of Angelina Mallory and John Todd) married his first cousin Angelina Mallory  (dau of John Mallory). Mallory Todd was the son of  Mallory and the husband of a Mallory. The only thing that doesn’t fit is that Mallory Todd is listed as executor in 1748 will probated in 1757.  Mallory Todd 1742-1818 would have been 6 years old in 1748 and 13 years old in 1757.

3.       Other research

As part of the research to uncover the origins of an inaccurate legend that the Joseph Todd  who married in 1667 to Ann Tatum in Southhampton Bermuda was the same person as the Joseph Todd of Eling, Southamptonshire, England.   who died in Philadelphia in 1699, I hired Patricia McIntyre to abstract the Bermuda records of the Todds contained in the publications of Alexander Cameron Hollis Hallett (1927-2003) on Bermuda records contained in the LDS library in Salt Lake City.  Based on those records and the records published in 1947 by Julia Mercer, we have compiled the family tree of the early generations of the Todd family that came to Bermuda after 1651.   We have also compiled some fragments of families from wills, newspapers, and church registers which can not be connected with certainty to the point of connection on the family tree of the early generations.

1.       The most important discovery is that there is a will of Joseph Todd in 1708 wife Elizabeth (who was pregnant) dau of John Keele with son John and three daughters – one of the daughters being named Miriam per the 1715 will of John Keele.   This suggests that Joseph was a relatively young man and we conclude that he was Joseph Todd b 1668 (aged 40 in 1708) son of Joseph Todd and Ann Tatum married 1667. The older Joseph was born about 1644 and would have been 64 in 1708, not impossible to have a pregnant wife, but not likely. Also, though we don’t have a complete picture of the Keele family in Bermuda, there was a John Keele with a son John in 1685 and daughter Mary in 1688 and a William Keele with son William born 1674 and a Sarah Keele married Nathaniel Darrell in 1683 – these all seem of the same generation.  If this John  was the father of Elizabeth Keele, wife of Joseph Todd, and if she were born in 1680, then she would have been 23 when John was born and 28 when Joseph died.  This could fit with her being the wife of Joseph Todd b 1668, though 12 years his junior.   

 

The implication of this discovery is that Joseph Todd of Eling who died in Philadelphia in 1699 could not be the Joseph Todd who married Ann Tatum in Bermuda.     Joseph Todd of Eling had a son Joseph born about 1678 who survived into adulthood (d 1721) and the Joseph Todd who married Ann Tatum had a son Joseph born 1667 that also survived into adulthood (d 1708).

 

 There two Joseph’s could not be one Joseph Todd because one Joseph would not have fathered two sons by   different wives named Joseph .

 

 

2.       The second most important discovery is that Mr. Hallett’s abstract of the will of John Todd d 1677 includes Tudor as a middle name for some of his children, though the abstract that Lin Todd Cornelius put in an email in 1999 states: 

6ly. I give unto all my grandchildren ffive shillings apiece that is the children of my sonn John Todd and Joseph Todd and Benjamin Todd and of Amos Todd and the children of Elizabeth Wethersbie and of Sarah ___ to George Palmer ffive shillings.

Prudence Todd BEEK

Esther Todd Jackson

This looks like it should fit in as the family of John Todd and Prudence Prudden since John had children:

Benjamin Todd 1703

                                Joseph Todd 1693

                                John Todd 1694

However, it seems unlikely that they were still alive in 1796; so perhaps this is a missing generation.

Mallory and Todd Family Connection

 

1.        John Mallory 1715-1788 Isle of wight Co VA He is identified by internet sources as son of William Mallory and Angelina Hunt (born 1681) md in 1705 according to Julia Mercer’s book.

a.        William Mallory

b.       Martha Mallory md Joseph Bridger (Martha Bridger’s Will of 1789, left legacy to William Todd, son of Mallory Todd; devises to sisters and lists them but lists “children of sister Angelina Todd” where she would have listed Angelina if she were still alive i.e.g Mrs. Mary Davis, Mrs. Frances Brown, Ms. Kezian Harvey, children of sister Angeliner Todd.  She also devises to William son of Mallory Todd and to Fanny Robertson Todd.  This in turn suggests that William and Fanny were Angelina’s children by Mallory Todd and that Mallory Todd’s other children were by his second wife, Anne Robinson.  Witnesses to will included Richard Todd, presumably the brother of Mallory.)

c.       Frances Mallory md Brown

d.       Keziah Mallory md Harvey

e.       Angelina Mallory d abt 1789 married Mallory Todd

(1)    William Todd b prior to 1789

(2)    Fanny Robertson Todd b prior to 1789

2.       James Perot 1710-1780 md 1742 to Frances Mallory.   She was identified as daughter of William Mallory.   He was brother-in-law Angelina Todd, wife of John Todd whose children were Joseph Todd, Mallory Todd, Richard Todd and Sarah Todd.  Joseph and Mallory Todd were executors to 1748 will probated 1757 Bermuda.

3.       Horatio Mallory md Dorothy Forester in 1629 and had:

a.       Peter d 1688  (mentions uncle Thomas Forster hence brother of mother Dorothy Forester)

(1)    Dorothy b 1671

(2)    John

(3)    William b 1681

(4)    Peter b 1684

(5)    Greenwood b 1687

b.       Horatio b 1631

c.       Dorothy b 1634 possibly md a Wood

d.       Mary b 1637

e.       Elizabeth b 1642

4.       Frances Mallory md 1694 to George Forster

a.       Frances Forester md William Mallory (presumably early 1720s)

5.       John Todd md Angelina (Mallory?): will 1748 proved 1757

a.        Joseph Todd

b.       Mallory Todd

c.       Richard Todd

d.       Sarah

Mentions brother in law James Perot. James Perot b abt 1710 came from NY and married Frances Mallory in 1742.    Biography of son Ellison Perot speaks of going to Virginia in 1769 to visit his uncle John Mallory. (https://archive.org/stream/morrisfamilyofph02moon/morrisfamilyofph02moon_djvu.txt)  

6.       Hence we synthesize:

 

William Mallory b abt 1681 md Angelina Hunt b 1681

a.        John Mallory 1715-1788 d Isle of Wight Co

(1)    Angelina Mallory md Mallory Todd

(a)     William Todd

b.        Frances Mallory abt 1712 d 1780 md 1742 to James Perot

(1)     Elliston Perot

(2)     John Perot (who visited his uncle John Mallory in Isle of Wight in 1769)

c.        Angelina Mallory md John Todd d 1757 (will mentions brother in law James Perot)

(1)    Joseph Todd

(2)    Mallory Todd md (1) Angelina Mallory d pr 1789 (2) Anne Robinson

(3)    Richard Todd

(4)    Sarah Todd

This indicates that Mallory Todd (son of Angelina Mallory and John Todd) married his first cousin Angelina Mallory  (dau of John Mallory). Mallory Todd was the son of a  Mallory and the husband of a Mallory. The only thing that doesn’t fit is that Mallory Todd is listed as executor in 1748 will probated in 1757.  Mallory Todd 1742-1818 would have been 6 years old in 1748 and 13 years old in 1757.

Despite his family's success in New York, James Perot (son of Jacque) left his home in New York and settled in Bermuda in 1740. Upon arriving on the island he established himself as a goldsmith and silversmith in Southampton Parish. Interestingly, several of his pieces survive today, including a communion chalice he made that still survives in St. Anne's church. Shortly after coming to Bermuda, Perot married Frances Mallory, daughter of William Mallory who was an influential Bermudian in his own right, in 1742.

 

Whilst living in Southampton, James and Frances Perot had 4 sons John, Elliston, William, and James Jr., as well as four daughters Mary (who died in infancy), Martha, Frances, and Angelina. In 1780 both James senior and Frances (nee. Mallory) his wife died of Yellow Fever at Water Lot Inn, the home built by Frances' father William Mallory in 1708
