Descendants of John Todd

Died 1799 Mecklenburg County, North Carolina

Todd Family 151

Generation No. 1

1. John¹ Todd was born Abt. 1712, and died Bef. April 1799 in Mecklenburg Co., NC. He married Margaret Russell ?. She was born Abt. 1715, and died Aft. June 1800 in Mecklenburg Co., NC.

Notes for John Todd:

The oldest Todd we have been able to identify in Mecklenburg County is this John Todd who left behind him a large and diverse family. The first record found to indicate the presence of this family in the county is dated 1766, when John's son James was a 2nd chain bearer on a survey of land for John Hartness on Bullock's Creek, and over the next two hundred plus years Todds married into and interacted with about every family in the county. When John Todd brought his interesting and prolific family to North Carolina and from whence they came are facts that elude our humble research.

An earlier version of the history of this family concluded that the family had a sojourn in Lancaster County Pennsylvania prior to coming to North Carolina. This was based upon assuming that one Elizabeth McClure had been born a Todd and married Thomas McClure in Lancaster County PA.

A note found in the estate papers of Hugh Todd. " Elizabeth Mcluer Alias Todd personaly came before me and made Oath that she heard Hugh Todd say that he had got a half -- Johannes from a good old friend and she believes it was from his mother Margaret Todd and she Believes the same due yet to his Mother sworn before me this 12 day of Decr 1793 [signed Jas Tagert JP and Elizabeth/her mark/ MCluer."

Later research revealed that Thomas McClure’s wife was Elizabeth Moorhead, not Todd. Also, John Todd d 1799 does not mention a daughter named Elizabeth in his will. Hence there is no longer any evidence for a Lancaster origin.

RMcMurtry wonders if this Elizabeth could have been Hugh’s widow and that she remarried to a Mcclure.

Another origin theory postulates that John Todd of Mecklenburg County was the same John Todd that baptized children at Abington Presbyterian Church and First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia between 1725 and 1736. This latter family is not found later in New Jersey or Pennsylvania records giving rise to the theory that they migrated to another colony. Here is the family structure of these two families compared:

Abington Pres & 1^st Pres	John Todd 1712-1799 Family History

James Todd, 2 May 1725 at Abington	James abt 1733
Elizabeth Todd, 29 Jan 1726/27 at Abington	Elizabeth abt 1731
Mary Todd, 7 Dec 1729 at First Presbyterian to John and Jane	Polly abt 1736
Alexander Todd or John Todd, 2 Oct 1736, at Abington	John abt 1738
	William H abt 1742
	Hugh abt 17??
	Joseph 1749
	Hannah abt 1750
	Adam 1751

The first name for the Todd birth entry for 1736 at Abington was a blank usually indicating a repeat of the name above, but on one microfilm the name John was written in. So we are not sure if the name of this child was Alexander or John.

The other aspect of these two families is that John was first married in 1724 at Abington Church; so he would have been born about 1700 to 1703 and, in order to have been the John of Mecklenburg, he would have had to have been 96 to 99 years old at this death.

So all we can say is that this is a remote possibility, not a certainty.

Genetic Origins

Recent DNA analysis revealed that the Mecklenburg Todds shared a common ancestor with a Todd family that lived in the early 1800s in Banagher Parish, County Derry/Londonderry. This Banagher family included an Adam Todd 1782-1851 who migrated to New Brunswick. Richard McMurtry believes that Banagher is likely the homeland of the Mecklenburg Todds though it is conceivable though less likely that the common ancestor lay back in Scotland.

Notes for Margaret Russell ?:

Margaret Russell seems to be the widely accepted name of the wife of John Todd, Margaret is well documented as her given name. We have seen no verification of the surname Russell but the two look nice together so we will leave them until someone proves otherwise.

+ 2 i. Elizabeth² Todd, born 1731; died March 7, 1813 in Mecklenburg Co., NC.

+ 3 ii. James Todd, born Abt. 1733; died in Mecklenburg Co., NC.

Notes for Elizabeth Todd:

John Todd does not mention a daughter named Elizabeth in his will, but we include her as part of this family because of a note found in the estate papers of Hugh Todd. " Elizabeth Mcluer Alias Todd personaly came before me and made Oath that she heard Hugh Todd say that he had got a half -- Johannes from a good old friend and she believes it was from his mother Margaret Todd and she Believes the same due yet to his Mother sworn before me this 12 day of Decr 1793 [signed Jas Tagert JP and Elizabeth/her mark/ MCluer."

7. Hugh² Todd (John¹) was born Abt. 1742, and died Bef. October 1787 in Mecklenburg Co., NC. He married Elizabeth Anderson ?. She died Aft. 1787 in Mecklenburg Co., NC.

Notes for Hugh Todd:

John Todd, Hugh Todd, and the whole Mecklenburg Co., legal community, did posterity a great disservice. John Todd mentions the children of his deceased son Hugh in his will, but fails to provide their names. Hugh Todd was inconsiderate in not leaving us a will giving the names of his children. We have an excellent record of Hugh's estate in the court records except that apparently there is no record of who are the recipents of the six shares of his estate. We can speculate that he left a wife and five children. Someone may have the answer to this question, I do not, and for want of a better approach find it convenient to attribute the several extra Todds floating around to this family.

That Hugh's wife was an Elizabeth is known, there are some who speculate that she may have been an Anderson, we have seen nothing to prove this either way so she will be treated as an unknown.

Apr Session 1789: James Tagart vs John Costin, Ordered by the Court that Scire facias issue against the following person Summoned Guar. in the above suit & Neglected to appear requiring them & each of them to appear at Next Court & Shew Cause why they should not be Subject to pay the sums they are Severally charged with on the Books of said Defendent [persons so charged were not listed].

There is no mention of John Costen in the Court records from 1789 until 1808 which makes me think that the entries after 1808 are for a John Costen son of John and Hannah. Also I can't find a listing for John in the 1790 Census, or in any tax list, all this leads me to believe that John died in late 1789 or early 1790. I futher believe that since there is no evidence of any other Costen families in Mecklenburg, that the John and James listed in court records and will witnessing are in fact sons of John and Hannah. Further as there is no widow Costen in the 1790 census I suspect that Hannah and the children are in fact living with one of the Todd families in 1790.
