James Todd appears in the 1769 tax list of East Nottingham
as an “inmate” (meaning married man without land), but by 1771/2, he appears in
East Nantmell Twp as an inmate and by 1774 he appears
in East Nantmell as owning 90 acres. There are deeds in the 1770s documenting the
purchase and sale of land by James Todd and his wife Susanna. Though his father’s will refers to James
having children, we have not been able to determine who these children
were. He appears on the 1785 tax list as
a tenant in

found the above abstract of the death certificate for James Todd d 1854 Wallace
Twp, Chester Co PA at the online Chester Co archives site which provides
interesting information about his birthplace, birth year and the names of his
parents.
His
wife was Jenetta
He
was 71 years old, hence born 1783 (which is consistent with all the census
records 1810-1850)
His
father was John Todd
His
mother was Grizella.
In
the 1809 will of John Todd, below we see that though his friends James McClure
and Ephraim Allen were named executors, but letters of administration were sent
to James and William Todd as exectors and Grizzel renounced her right of administration, implying
that she was the widow of John. Presumably James and William were the
sons of John named in the will.
James'
1854 death certificate also indicates that he was born in Honeybrook (which is
the adjacent township). Note that this is where John Todd d 1809 was
living in 1790 when he appeared in the census and where he was living when he
bought land in

I think this is conclusive
evidence that James Todd wife of Jennetta Harris was

Yesterday,

I
have plotted up all the deeds for your family and here is what I have learned.
1.
The deed in 1856 by which Robert and John Todd sold to Wm Todd 128 acres from
their father's estate pursuant to their father James Todd's will. The
deed reads: "Whereas James Todd (was) lawfully seized..of two tracts...(in)
The
plot that I made of this land in 1856 is an almost exact match with the
boundaries of a parcel belonging to Jesse Roges as shown on a map of
The
metes and bounds also make reference to an adjoining property called "the
church lot".
2.
The 1839 deed conveys a little over an acre from James Todd and Jenet/Jennetta his wife to the
trustees designated to purchase a site for a Presbyeterian
church. One side of the lot is adacent to
"
3.
The 1803 deed states: John Todd and Grizel his
wife ..in consideration of the love and affection
which they have for their Son the said John Todd Junior as well as for and in
consideration of the sum of one Dollar..sold..a tract..of land..situate part in
East and part in
4.
The 1793 deed states: 8 April 1793..between
William Caldwell of West Nantmeal, Chester County,
Pennsylvania and Jennet his wife and John Todd of township of Honeybrook,
Chester County.. two contiguous tracts..
I
just looked again at the 1811 division of land between James Todd and his
brother William and see that two of the courses of the land that went to James
Todd exactly matched two courses of the land that James Todd bequeathed to his
son William in his 1851 will. So this is just
one more supportive proof that James Todd of

***********************************************************************
from THE HISTORY OF
The Todd family is of Scotch origin and the first of the name know in this
county was John, whose son James married Jennetta Harris and settled in Wallace
twp. Of their 18 children, John Todd was born in March of 1812, in Wallace, and
died
educational advantages of his day. At the age of 18 he turned his attention to
driving and dealing in cattle, paying his father 200 dollars for his time until
his majority. He
married,
Essick Pergrin, from which union were born 8 children; Sally, married to Jesse
Rogers; Jenetta, married first to William Krauser and then to Erastus Ives; Mary
Ann, married to Benton Evans; James H; Emaretta, married to Edward Crows; John
T.; Clara V, married to Henry Arons; and Samuel Winfield. Mr Todd was actively
engaged in various business enterprises, embracing, besides farming and stock,
that of merchandising, hotel-keeping, lumber and coal-yards, at Byers' Station,
family attended with him the Presbyterian Church, to the support of which he was
a liberal contributor. He was buried on the farm on which he was born, and at
his death owned the original Todd tract. He was one of the managers of the
county Agricultural Soc and a large stockholder in the old Chester County Bank.
Originally a Whig, he became a republican and was active in the politics of the
day. Byers' Station and village is part of his estate, which includes, in
addition, 5 farms aggregating 700 acres. He began life poor, and made his first
5 dollars on the sale of some chestnuts; but he rose to be one of the leading
businessmen of his county. He was highly esteemed by his fellow citizens and
contributed largely to the materialgrowth of the northern part of the county,
notably in the construction of the Pickering Valley RR. On his estate, near
Byers' Station, are the ";lumbago Works", which he discovered, started and
leased to a company now successfully operating them.

David Todd abt

Single in 1880. He could not be the son of James and Jenetta because they have a son David born 1829; also since Jenetta was born abt 1793, she could not be the mother of David at age 12! Further, the 1810 census indicates that James and Jenetta have only one child in 1810. It is unlikely that they only had 1 child between 1804 and 1810. More likely the child in the 1810 census born 1800-1810 and the child in the 1820 census born 1804-1810 is Mills Todd b 1810.
I assume these Warwick Twp Todds are related to one of the Lancaster Co, Todds families or possibly to William Todd, brother of James Todd 1784-1853?, who died in Chester Co about 1826.

1. Nancy and her younger sister Margaret are livining together. These appear to be nearing the same age as the daughters of James and Jennetta Todd from the 1850 census.
2. Robert Todd b 1814, a widower with children - the right age to be one of the sons of James.
3. William Todd b 1815 - a widower with young children. This appears to be your William.

In any event, the 1850 census says James was born 1784 which is consistent with the 1780-1790 dates given by the 1840 and 1830 census and consistent with the 1765-1794 date given by the 1820 census.

Wm Todd West Nantmeal,
Note that the above James Todd is the only James Todd in the county and the only James Todd in the portion of Chester Co that became Wallace Twp in 1852.
Deed: Bk F3, p 97: James Todd and wife to William Todd, 1811
..23 March 1811 between James Todd and Jennett
his wife ..of
Please note that in the 1820 census David McKnight (identified in the above deed as a neighbor) appears directly above James Todd suggesting that the James Todd of the 1820 census is the neighbor of David McKnight. In the above deed, James Todd and Jennett his wife are neighbors of David McKnight. Hence, this suggests that the James Todd of the 1811 deed is the James Todd of the 1820 census. This James Todd of the census had a son born in 1804-1810 and so this James Todd was probably born 1784-1790 (assuming 20 years from his birth to the birth of his son) and maybe a few years earlier.
Note also that this is a deed of division between James and William who own the land jointly, as if they inherited it from their father.
Deed: Deed: Bk K3, p 122: Daniel Krider to James Todd: 1814
…7 April 1814Daniel Krider of West Nantmeal Township, Chester Co (PA).. and Catharine his wife of the one part and James Todd of the same palce of the otyher part..$1400.. have sold..tract,,beginning at a post, thence by other land of James Todd N78E 119.5 perches, S85E 12 p, by land of Warwick Company N24W 65 p, by land of David McKnight S50W 48 p, N76W 38.5 p, S76-3/4W 18.2 p, S16W 19p S6W 40.5 p to beginning ..36 acres: Witnesses: George Evans, Sarah Evans.. Witn: 7 April 1814
So here, James Todd 3 years after the 1811 division is adding another 36 acres adjacent to the land he already owned.

There is no deed in
8 April 1793…William Caldwell of Wets Nantmell,
(This is John Todd d 1809, presumed son of James Todd d 1772)
Note that the total acres in this 1793 purchase by John Todd is 163 acres which is very close to the 161+ acres that were divided by James and William Todd in 1811.
d. The John Todd of Honeybrook who buys land in the Nantmells in 1793 appears to be the John Todd in the 1790 census of Honeybrook Twp. Note that in 1790, John Todd of Honeybrook is the only JOhn Todd in Chester Co:

In the 1800 census, the person right above John Todd is Paul McKnight. David McKnight is 5 persons down the list. this suggests that Paul McKnight and David McKnight are neighbors of John Todd.
