In Armstrong Hart Esq.'s will dated 26 November 1829 at Franklin Co., Missouri, USA, Joseph Todd Hart was named as an heir; Franklin Co., MO, Will Book A, Pages 66-70:
In the name of God Amen I Armstrong Hart of the County of Franklin in the State of Missouri, being in a low state of health and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die and believing it very probable that the disease under which I now labor will prove fatal, but feeling assured that my mind is unimpaired and that I now possess a disposing memory, I do make the following my last will and testament.

First: I wish that my body should receive at the hands of my friends and executors a decent burial.

Secondly: It is my wish that all my just debts be paid and for that purpose it is my will that my executors sell at private or public sale as they may find most expedient so much of my personal estate as will raise a sum sufficient to pay them. If, however, my executors should think it would be more to the advantage of my estate to pay my debts out of the rents that may be coming to me from the letting of my interest in the grist and saw mills which I now own, then it is my will that my debts be so paid and my personal property be disposed of as hereinafter mentioned. If my executors should settle my debts out of the rents of the mills, then it is my wish that my wife take and keep during her widowhood the whole of my personal estate to be by her used for the support and maintenance of the family, and if my executors should sell a part of my personal estate, then it is my will that the remaining part and the rents of my mills be given to my wife so long as she remains single to be used by her as aforesaid. It is my desire that my wife remain on the plantation where I now live and cultivate the farm, but if in her opinion and in the opinion of my executors it would be more to her interest that the farm and ferry should be leased, together with the negro man Paul, then it is my will that they be let out and the profits be given to my wife for the support of the family. My wife received out of the estate of Isaac Murphy at the appraised value the negro man named Paul that is now in the family. Whether by the laws of the country this negro is my property, I am not advised. If it should so turn out that he is not mine and those who have now or should hereafter have the management of said Isaac Murphy's estate should claim off of my estate the hire of said negro, then in that case I wish my executors to charge the estate of said Murphy with the raising and schooling of the heirs of said Murphy. If my wife should think proper to marry again, I wish for my executors then to dispose of all the personal property, after she has taken her share, and the amount raised by such sale and the hire of my negro girl Louisa and the rent of my mills to be then applied to the schooling and maintenance of my three sons, Albert, Epenetus and Joseph. After my three sons are raised and become of age, I will to them and my four daughters in New York, to wit, Maria, Eliza, Emmy and Susan Ann, my interest in the tract of land upon which my mills are built and my interest in those mills, my negro girl named Louisa and her increase, the negro man Paul (if he should be my property) and indeed all and every thing that may at that day be a part of my estate. It is my desire, however, that my girls should receive their shares of my estate at an earlier period than the time before mentioned, and if my executors after a lapse of some three or four years after my decease should be enabled to make an estimate of my estate and should find that it will [not] injure the estate to sell so much thereof as will pay them their shares, it is then my will it be so arranged.
I constitute and appoint Bennoni Sappington and William G. Owens executors to this my last will and testament. In testimony of all which I hereunto set my hand and seal the twenty-sixth of November in the year 1829.

Her maiden name was Todd. She was married to Ephenitus Hart, March 23, 1848. To this union were born ten children, only four of whom survive her, E. E. Hart of this city, C. T. Hart of Maysville Okla., Mrs. Watson Hart and Mrs. J. C. Davis of Clinton. her husband proceeded her to the better world several years ago. In her youth, she united with the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. but after her removal to Montrose with her family in 1882 she united with the M. E. Church South of which she remained a faithful and honored member until her death. On the organization of the Montrose Cemetery Improvement Association, she was elected Vice President, and continued to hold that office for the remainder of her life. Though living in Clinton with her daughter for some months past, her home in this city remained in readiness for occupancy at any time she might choose to return to it. Instead of returning to it she has gone to that better home where the "Many Mansions" are prepared for those that love the Lord. The news of her death, though not altogether unexpected, came as a shock to this entire community. The body was brought to Montrose on the noon train Tuesday and taken to the M. E. Church South where funeral services were conducted by the Rev. W. C. Bewley (?) after which she was laid to (obscured) the side of her husband, in the (remainder obscured)."

; Elizabeth Riggs sister of Susan Riggs who married Armstrong Hart married a Joseph Jones and it was he who was also a "Hatter". then I remembered your Hart was one of the people who owned Hart and Jones Millinery. So since the sisters married these two it probably was their business. Since Susan died in Farmington, NY and the article was in the Geneva Gazette imagine the business was near Farmington. I checked and I did send that letter to you so maybe you could check the census records in some of those area's for Harts.^11,12

WASHINGTON: ITS FERRIES AND STEAMBOATS
"Before steamboats, the travel of man on the Missouri River was by swimming or by rafts, canoes, skiffs and larger boats, man-powered, but sometimes making use of a sail or sails. After settlement on both sides of the lower river, getting across the big river was often a problem and ferries were made to solve it.
"Between the early settlements of La Charette and St. John's a licensed ferry was established in 1814. Early court records of St. Louis, St. Charles and Franklin counties mention the ferries of Daugherty, Murphy, Hart, Caldwell, Smith and Owens. All these ferries were in business before Washington was officially founded, but not at the same time. These ferries had landings near the mouth of St. John's creek. The river was wide there and had several islands. The islands grew and came and went. Landings too were changed by the river. Stable landing places were needed and a good one was found below the mouth of St. John's creek and it was named Washington.
"The ferry of Isaac Murphy in 1815 consisted of two large canoes with a platform on top, which had to be oared and poled across. Later, two or more men cranked a paddle wheel attached to such a ferry boat. In 1843, at Washington, Henry Wellenkamp said, a horse-powered ferry was in operation. Andrew Cochran and Joseph R. Hardin owned the ferry then and were licensed by the city. They received their first license from the city in September, 1841. Before 1841, licenses for the ferry at Washington were issued by the county. Andrew Cochran and Joseph R. Hardin were two of the first officials of the city, both had general stores, and Hardin taught school. They became so busy with the ferry and other work they quit storekeeping. They continued the ferry business until 1850, when J.F. Dierking received the license to ferry at Washington."
[The "Hart" listed among early ferry operators would be Armstrong Hart, second husband of Nancy (Todd) Murphy, widow of Isaac Murphy, and his position as a ferry operator was by way of his wife's ownership of the ferry following the death of Isaac Murphy. Interestingly, Joseph R. Hardin, another early ferry operator, was the husband of Isaac and Nancy (Todd) Murphy's only daughter, Mary Ann. It is also probable that the Caldwell mentioned as another early ferry operator was Kinkead Caldwell, who was reputed to have been the first white settler in the Washington area.]¹³

Occupation 1815-1821
Age: 40 Benton Centre, Yates Co., NY
Armstrong was a "hatter" while in New York. He was a partner in the firm of Hart & Jones Millinery, his partner being Joseph Jones, husband of his wife's sister Elizabeth. circa 1800 at Benton Center, Yates Co., New York, USA.^16,17
Armstrong Hart Esq. was a defendant named in the      This extensive file of records is associated with a legal case brought against Epenetus Hart, his heirs, and three others in 1800 by Charles Williamson, the agent for the sale of lands from the Phelps & Gorham Purchase. The case was originally brought against Epenetus Hart (Sr) for non-payment of a mortgage bond made with Williamson on 22 Dec 1794 for various properties along the shore of Lake Seneca in the area of modern Geneva.
     Apparently Epenetus didn't repay the mortgage and later mortgaged some of the same properties to George Bennet, William Dunn and Timothy Alleyn. Williamson includes these three in the suit in an effort to reclaim the properties or the value of the original loans (with interest).
     What is particularly notable is that these documents document the death of Epenetus Hart (Sr) in or about 1801. The evidence is:
          1. References in three depositions to the "late" or "deceased Epenetus Hart" and two references to his having died intestate. These references are in the depositions of Armstrong Hart, John Griffin and his wife Elizabeth (Hart); the deposition of Mary Hart (minor with her brother Armstrong as her guardian); and Jonathan Hart (minor with an Albany lawyer James Van Ingen as his guardian.
          2. The fact that the case is originally launched ca 19 July 1800 and then relaunched ca 25 March 1802 with a Bill of Revivor stating "the said Epenetus Hart died, intestate, leaving issue and heirs at law ..."
     On 16 Dec 1802 two parcels belonging to Epenetus (Sr) in Geneva are sold to repay this debt. with Epenetus Hart Sr. between 19 July 1800 and 7 January 1803 at Geneva (Originally Seneca), Ontario Co., New York, USA.^18,19

Armstrong Hart Esq. and Epenetus Hart Jr. appeared in the census of 1810 at Oneida Co., New York, USA; There are an E. Hart and two A. Hart's listed near each other in the 1810 census of Oneida Co., NY. It is not known if these are Epenetus Jr. and his brother Armstrong Hart. There whereabouts at this time are not known. However, the families listed in these census enumerations makes it doubtful that they are the Epenetus Jr. and his brother Armstrong, sons of Epenetus and Mary (Armstrong) HART, Sr.

E. Hart - Epenetus Jr. was 20 or more years old in 1810. there is no record of him being married or having children then, but it is possible. However, this looks like a couple aged 26-44, with an elderly male and possibly 5 children.
p. 307, line 3

A. Hart #1 - Armstrong was about 36 years old at this time and and his wife was around 32 years old. The had four daughters. However, this looks like a younger couple (aged 16-25) with only one daughter.

A. Hart #2 - Armstrong was about 36 years old at this time and and his wife was around 32 years old. The had four daughters. However, this looks like an older couple, both 45 or more years old and with no children.

     1813 - "removed or have become incompetent."²⁸ Armstrong Hart Esq. was Ferry Operator on Missouri River - from Gregory [2000:7] WASHINGTON: ITS FERRIES AND STEAMBOATS
"Before steamboats, the travel of man on the Missouri River was by swimming or by rafts, canoes, skiffs and larger boats, man-powered, but sometimes making use of a sail or sails. After settlement on both sides of the lower river, getting across the big river was often a problem and ferries were made to solve it.
"Between the early settlements of La Charette and St. John's a licensed ferry was established in 1814. Early court records of St. Louis, St. Charles and Franklin counties mention the ferries of Daugherty, Murphy, Hart, Caldwell, Smith and Owens. All these ferries were in business before Washington was officially founded, but not at the same time. These ferries had landings near the mouth of St. John's creek. The river was wide there and had several islands. The islands grew and came and went. Landings too were changed by the river. Stable landing places were needed and a good one was found below the mouth of St. John's creek and it was named Washington.
"The ferry of Isaac Murphy in 1815 consisted of two large canoes with a platform on top, which had to be oared and poled across. Later, two or more men cranked a paddle wheel attached to such a ferry boat. In 1843, at Washington, Henry Wellenkamp said, a horse-powered ferry was in operation. Andrew Cochran and Joseph R. Hardin owned the ferry then and were licensed by the city. They received their first license from the city in September, 1841. Before 1841, licenses for the ferry at Washington were issued by the county. Andrew Cochran and Joseph R. Hardin were two of the first officials of the city, both had general stores, and Hardin taught school. They became so busy with the ferry and other work they quit storekeeping. They continued the ferry business until 1850, when J.F. Dierking received the license to ferry at Washington."

Armstrong Hart, a Justice of the Peace, performed many marriages in Franklin Co., including that of Kinkead Caldwell and Polly Cantty/Cantly in 1828; the marriage was recorded 22 Sep 1828. per Nofoagatoto'a [2002] Kinkead was not officially divorced from Mary Clark.

Armstrong Hart Esq. left a will on 26 November 1829 at Franklin Co., Missouri, USA; Franklin Co., MO, Will Book A, Pages 66-70:
In the name of God Amen I Armstrong Hart of the County of Franklin in the State of Missouri, being in a low state of health and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die and believing it very probable that the disease under which I now labor will prove fatal, but feeling assured that my mind is unimpaired and that I now possess a disposing memory, I do make the following my last will and testament.

First: I wish that my body should receive at the hands of my friends and executors a decent burial.

Secondly: It is my wish that all my just debts be paid and for that purpose it is my will that my executors sell at private or public sale as they may find most expedient so much of my personal estate as will raise a sum sufficient to pay them. If, however, my executors should think it would be more to the advantage of my estate to pay my debts out of the rents that may be coming to me from the letting of my interest in the grist and saw mills which I now own, then it is my will that my debts be so paid and my personal property be disposed of as hereinafter mentioned. If my executors should settle my debts out of the rents of the mills, then it is my wish that my wife take and keep during her widowhood the whole of my personal estate to be by her used for the support and maintenance of the family, and if my executors should sell a part of my personal estate, then it is my will that the remaining part and the rents of my mills be given to my wife so long as she remains single to be used by her as aforesaid. It is my desire that my wife remain on the plantation where I now live and cultivate the farm, but if in her opinion and in the opinion of my executors it would be more to her interest that the farm and ferry should be leased, together with the negro man Paul, then it is my will that they be let out and the profits be given to my wife for the support of the family. My wife received out of the estate of Isaac Murphy at the appraised value the negro man named Paul that is now in the family. Whether by the laws of the country this negro is my property, I am not advised. If it should so turn out that he is not mine and those who have now or should hereafter have the management of said Isaac Murphy's estate should claim off of my estate the hire of said negro, then in that case I wish my executors to charge the estate of said Murphy with the raising and schooling of the heirs of said Murphy. If my wife should think proper to marry again, I wish for my executors then to dispose of all the personal property, after she has taken her share, and the amount raised by such sale and the hire of my negro girl Louisa and the rent of my mills to be then applied to the schooling and maintenance of my three sons, Albert, Epenetus and Joseph. After my three sons are raised and become of age, I will to them and my four daughters in New York, to wit, Maria, Eliza, Emmy and Susan Ann, my interest in the tract of land upon which my mills are built and my interest in those mills, my negro girl named Louisa and her increase, the negro man Paul (if he should be my property) and indeed all and every thing that may at that day be a part of my estate. It is my desire, however, that my girls should receive their shares of my estate at an earlier period than the time before mentioned, and if my executors after a lapse of some three or four years after my decease should be enabled to make an estimate of my estate and should find that it will [not] injure the estate to sell so much thereof as will pay them their shares, it is then my will it be so arranged.
I constitute and appoint Bennoni Sappington and William G. Owens executors to this my last will and testament. In testimony of all which I hereunto set my hand and seal the twenty-sixth of November in the year 1829.
Signed and acknowledged in the presence of B. Sappington and Isaiah Todd

     Name: Joseph TODD.
     Birth: 1748 in PA.
     Death: 1810 in Madison County, KY.
     "Joseph was born in 1748 in the Bethlehem area of Northampton County, PA, and appears on the tax lists in 1769 when he came of age. Joseph was on the 1779 and the 1784 Rowan County, NC, tax lists..
     "In 1777, he and his brother Thomas inherited the land bought by their father in 1772. In 1778, Joseph entered land for 200 acres of which he obtained 100 acres by grant in 1786. In 1789 he and his brother sold the land inherited from their father along with 100 adjacent acres entered by Joseph..
     "Rowan County, NC (Book 11, page 851): 7 December 1789 - Joseph Todd and wife Ann, and Thomas Todd and wife Elizabeth, to Jacob Frailey 360 acres in two tracts on the East Side of the Yadkin River - (1) a tract of 260 acres including the dwelling house of Joseph Todd and Thomas Todd, granted to James Bryan by Henry McCulloh 29 March 1762 (Book 4, page 879), sold to James Simerson 5 April 1764 (Book 6, page 33 lists the grantee as James Simson) and conveyed by Simerson to Thomas Todd, Esq., 7 March 1772 (Book 7, page 462) and later devised to Joseph and Thomas Todd by the last will and testament of Thomas Todd, Esq. (Will Book A, page 259) and (2) state grant #1077 for 100 acres (Book 11, page 96) adjacent the first tract. Witness: George Failey. .
     "Rowan County, NC (Book 11 page 96): 25 October 1786 - State Grant #1077 to Joseph Todd, 100 acres on the east side of the Yadkin River adjacent John Coxe and McCulloh..
     "They moved from Rowan County, NC, to Madison County, KY, and Joseph was listed on Otter Creek in Madison County, KY, with 150 acres 1801-1809, though the first deed we have was in 1811 for 147 1/2 acres on Otter Creek (Book H, page 81). The 1811 tax list indicates that Joseph had died and Isaac Wagle was being taxed for his land on Otter Creek. A deed of 1812 (Book O, page 253) refers to the "heirs of Joseph Todd, deceased, namely, Thomas, Isaiah, Joseph, Elisha, Davis, Jonathan, Nancy, Levi, William, Susanna McCreary, Jesse and Betsy Todd, who collectively sold the Otter Creek land to Isaac Wagle. In the transaction, Joseph Todd was guardian for William and Jesse Todd, indicating that both were minors, born after 1791. (Therefore, Jesse Todd b. 1776/80, who settled in Rutherford/Cannon County, TN, could not be the son of Joseph b. 1748.) Isaiah Todd was attorney for Davis Todd and Levi Todd; Jonathan was agent for Elisha Todd. .
     " By 1810, Joseph Todd, son of Joseph b. 1748, was on the census in Hardin County, KY..
     "Contrary to The Annals of Platte County, it was not Joseph Todd b. 1748 who moved to Howard County, MO; it was his son Joseph Todd b. 1777 who moved to Howard County in 1817. (See The Annals of Platte County by W. M. Paxton 1897.)
     Joseph was one of the four earliest arrivals in Madison County, KY, on the 1795 tax record:.
     1) Todd, Thomas Sr. 1749 Madison son of Thomas Todd/Elizabeth Unknown;
     2) Todd, Joseph 1748 Madison son of Thomas Todd/Elizabeth Unknown;
     3) Todd, Isaiah 1770 Madison son of Joseph Todd/Anne Crose;
     4) Todd, Thomas Jr. 1771 Madison son of Joseph Todd/Anne Crose.
     It should be noted that "Sr" and "Jr" were used to distinguish between the same names, one being older and one younger, not necessarily father and son. So we have two sets of brothers as the first Todd arrivals in Madison County..
     The Annals of Platte County: "Joseph Todd was born in Pennsylvania about 1748. He married Ann Crose, a German lady, and after residing a time in Rowan Co., NC, removed to Hardin Co., KY, and thence to Madison Co., KY. In 1817, he pressed forward to Howard Co., MO. Here most of his children remained." This quotation is in error. The elder Joseph died in Madison County, KY, in 1810..
     Previous family historians thought that there were two Thomas Todds in Rowan County, one being the son of Thomas d. 1732/33 and one being the son of Joshua Todd. One they thought was the Thomas Todd, a soldier who died in September 1777, and one they thought was the Thomas Todd who made his will in October 1777. However closer inspection of the military records indicates that the Thomas Todd who died in September 1777 lived in the Halifax area of North Carolina, far to the east of Rowan County. (This misleading information about there being two Thomas Todds in Rowan County came from a DAR record which erroneously identified the Thomas Todd who died while serving as a musician in the Revolutionary War as the Thomas of Rowan County.)".

In 1817, he pressed forward to Howard Co MO. Here most of his children remained. The above quotation is in error. Joseph died in Madison Co in 1810.

; NB:
     On 1 May 2022, I began making several important changes in my TODD family line. There were a number of different TODD families who settled in the American colonies, coming from the United Kingdom. A group of TODD family researchers, with results published by Richard McMurtry [2013] [2022], have built an ancestry with a William TOD as the progenitor of my line.
     I have found that I have two lines of descent from Joseph TODD (c1748-1810) and his wife Anna Maria CROUSE/GROSE (c1750-bef 1810), my 4th great grandparents. The first line is from their son, Isaiah TODD (1772-1840) and his first wife, Prudence ALEXANDER (1776-1852). The second line of descent is through their daughter, Nancy TODD (c1790-aft 1870) and her second husband, Armstrong HART (c1776-1829).
     My earlier version (v.A) of the ancestry of Joseph TODD (c1748-1810) was as follows (in Ahnentafel form):
Version A
     My current revisions (v.B), based on the work published by McMurtry, now shows:
Version B
     My earlier work was based on a combination of earlier version (pre-2012) of McMurtry's work and a number of other pedigrees published on various websites and published research (e.g., Paxton [1897:129]. One source of early errors (corrected by McMurtry's later publications) was the confusion of two different men named Thomas TODD who lived at the beginning of the Revolutionary war. In McMurtry's words: "The misleading information about there being two Thomas TODDs in Rowan County came from a DAR record which erroneously identified the Thomas Todd who died while serving in the Revolutionary War as the Thomas of Rowan County."
     Much of McMurtry's later published TODD family genealogy is based on some rather extensive DNA analyses of samples from hundreds of Todd family descendants and a much more extensive review of early records. This work helped to pinpoint Caleb TODD (1686-unk) as the probable father of Thomas TODD (1723-1777), rather than Caleb's brother, Joshua (1689-1719), as I had earlier shown. The record of Joseph TODD as a son of William TOD is from an Eling (Southamptonshire, England) Parish Register baptism record recorded by McMurtry as "Joseph and Benjamin, sons of William Tod, 15-Jan-1645". McMurtry also records another likely son of William TOD: "Todd Samuel, son of William Tod of Eling, Yeo to John Swift, glazier, for 7 years from date of indenture, 23-Dec-1678. Entered 14-Jun-1683." (citing the Calendar of Southampton Apprenticeship Registers 1609-1740).^20,21,22,1

In Armstrong Hart Esq.'s will dated 26 November 1829 at Franklin Co., Missouri, USA, Nancy Todd was named as an heir; Franklin Co., MO, Will Book A, Pages 66-70:
In the name of God Amen I Armstrong Hart of the County of Franklin in the State of Missouri, being in a low state of health and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die and believing it very probable that the disease under which I now labor will prove fatal, but feeling assured that my mind is unimpaired and that I now possess a disposing memory, I do make the following my last will and testament.

First: I wish that my body should receive at the hands of my friends and executors a decent burial.

Secondly: It is my wish that all my just debts be paid and for that purpose it is my will that my executors sell at private or public sale as they may find most expedient so much of my personal estate as will raise a sum sufficient to pay them. If, however, my executors should think it would be more to the advantage of my estate to pay my debts out of the rents that may be coming to me from the letting of my interest in the grist and saw mills which I now own, then it is my will that my debts be so paid and my personal property be disposed of as hereinafter mentioned. If my executors should settle my debts out of the rents of the mills, then it is my wish that my wife take and keep during her widowhood the whole of my personal estate to be by her used for the support and maintenance of the family, and if my executors should sell a part of my personal estate, then it is my will that the remaining part and the rents of my mills be given to my wife so long as she remains single to be used by her as aforesaid. It is my desire that my wife remain on the plantation where I now live and cultivate the farm, but if in her opinion and in the opinion of my executors it would be more to her interest that the farm and ferry should be leased, together with the negro man Paul, then it is my will that they be let out and the profits be given to my wife for the support of the family. My wife received out of the estate of Isaac Murphy at the appraised value the negro man named Paul that is now in the family. Whether by the laws of the country this negro is my property, I am not advised. If it should so turn out that he is not mine and those who have now or should hereafter have the management of said Isaac Murphy's estate should claim off of my estate the hire of said negro, then in that case I wish my executors to charge the estate of said Murphy with the raising and schooling of the heirs of said Murphy. If my wife should think proper to marry again, I wish for my executors then to dispose of all the personal property, after she has taken her share, and the amount raised by such sale and the hire of my negro girl Louisa and the rent of my mills to be then applied to the schooling and maintenance of my three sons, Albert, Epenetus and Joseph. After my three sons are raised and become of age, I will to them and my four daughters in New York, to wit, Maria, Eliza, Emmy and Susan Ann, my interest in the tract of land upon which my mills are built and my interest in those mills, my negro girl named Louisa and her increase, the negro man Paul (if he should be my property) and indeed all and every thing that may at that day be a part of my estate. It is my desire, however, that my girls should receive their shares of my estate at an earlier period than the time before mentioned, and if my executors after a lapse of some three or four years after my decease should be enabled to make an estimate of my estate and should find that it will [not] injure the estate to sell so much thereof as will pay them their shares, it is then my will it be so arranged.
I constitute and appoint Bennoni Sappington and William G. Owens executors to this my last will and testament. In testimony of all which I hereunto set my hand and seal the twenty-sixth of November in the year 1829.

     "Joseph was born in 1748 in the Bethlehem area of Northampton County, PA, and appears on the tax lists in 1769 when he came of age. Joseph was on the 1779 and the 1784 Rowan County, NC, tax lists..
     "In 1777, he and his brother Thomas inherited the land bought by their father in 1772. In 1778, Joseph entered land for 200 acres of which he obtained 100 acres by grant in 1786. In 1789 he and his brother sold the land inherited from their father along with 100 adjacent acres entered by Joseph..

(Will Book A, page 259) and (2) state grant #1077 for 100 acres (Book 11, page 96) adjacent the first tract. Witness: George Failey. .
     "Rowan County, NC (Book 11 page 96): 25 October 1786 - State Grant #1077 to Joseph Todd, 100 acres on the east side of the Yadkin River adjacent John Coxe and McCulloh..
     "They moved from Rowan County, NC, to Madison County, KY, and Joseph was listed on Otter Creek in Madison County, KY, with 150 acres 1801-1809, though the first deed we have was in 1811 for 147 1/2 acres on Otter Creek (Book H, page 81). The 1811 tax list indicates that Joseph had died and Isaac Wagle was being taxed for his land on Otter Creek. A deed of 1812 (Book O, page 253) refers to the "heirs of Joseph Todd, deceased, namely, Thomas, Isaiah, Joseph, Elisha, Davis, Jonathan, Nancy, Levi, William, Susanna McCreary, Jesse and Betsy Todd, who collectively sold the Otter Creek land to Isaac Wagle. In the transaction, Joseph Todd was guardian for William and Jesse Todd, indicating that both were minors, born after 1791. (Therefore, Jesse Todd b. 1776/80, who settled in Rutherford/Cannon County, TN, could not be the son of Joseph b. 1748.) Isaiah Todd was attorney for Davis Todd and Levi Todd; Jonathan was agent for Elisha Todd. .
     " By 1810, Joseph Todd, son of Joseph b. 1748, was on the census in Hardin County, KY..
     "Contrary to The Annals of Platte County, it was not Joseph Todd b. 1748 who moved to Howard County, MO; it was his son Joseph Todd b. 1777 who moved to Howard County in 1817. (See The Annals of Platte County by W. M. Paxton 1897.)
     Joseph was one of the four earliest arrivals in Madison County, KY, on the 1795 tax record:.
     1) Todd, Thomas Sr. 1749 Madison son of Thomas Todd/Elizabeth Unknown;
     2) Todd, Joseph 1748 Madison son of Thomas Todd/Elizabeth Unknown;
     3) Todd, Isaiah 1770 Madison son of Joseph Todd/Anne Crose;
     4) Todd, Thomas Jr. 1771 Madison son of Joseph Todd/Anne Crose.
     It should be noted that "Sr" and "Jr" were used to distinguish between the same names, one being older and one younger, not necessarily father and son. So we have two sets of brothers as the first Todd arrivals in Madison County..
     The Annals of Platte County: "Joseph Todd was born in Pennsylvania about 1748. He married Ann Crose, a German lady, and after residing a time in Rowan Co., NC, removed to Hardin Co., KY, and thence to Madison Co., KY. In 1817, he pressed forward to Howard Co., MO. Here most of his children remained." This quotation is in error. The elder Joseph died in Madison County, KY, in 1810..
     Previous family historians thought that there were two Thomas Todds in Rowan County, one being the son of Thomas d. 1732/33 and one being the son of Joshua Todd. One they thought was the Thomas Todd, a soldier who died in September 1777, and one they thought was the Thomas Todd who made his will in October 1777. However closer inspection of the military records indicates that the Thomas Todd who died in September 1777 lived in the Halifax area of North Carolina, far to the east of Rowan County. (This misleading information about there being two Thomas Todds in Rowan County came from a DAR record which erroneously identified the Thomas Todd who died while serving as a musician in the Revolutionary War as the Thomas of Rowan County.)".

     "Contrary to the Annals of Platte County, it was not Joseph Todd b 1748 who moved to Howard Co Missouri, it was his son Joseph Todd b 1777 who moved to Howard County in 1817. (See the Annals of Platte County by W. M. Paxton 1897, Joseph was one of the four earliest arrivals in Madison County, KY on the 1795 tax record: Todd, Thomas Sr 1749 Madison son of Thomas Todd/Elizabeth Unknown Todd, Joseph 1748 Madison son of Thomas Todd/Elizabeth Unknown Todd, Isaiah 1770 Madison son of Joseph Todd/Anne Crose Todd, Thomas Jr 1771 Madison son of Joseph Todd/Anne Crose Sr and Jr used to distinguish between same names and not necessarily father and son.
     "So we have two sets of brothers as the first Todd arrivals. Annals of Platte Co (This history has some errors that have to be sorted from the accurate info.) Joseph Todd was born in Pennsylvania about 1748. He married Ann Crose, a German lady, and after residing a time in Rowan Co NC removed to Hardin Co KY and thence to Madison Co KY. In 1817, he pressed forward to Howard Co MO. Here most of his children remained. The above quotation is in error. Joseph died in Madison Co in 1810. Previous family historians thought that there were two Thomas Todds in Rowan Co - one being the son of Thomas d 1732/3 and one being the son of Joshua Todd. One they thought was the Thomas Todd a soldier who died in Sept 1777 and one they thought was the Thomas Todd who made his will in October 1777. However, closer inspection of the military records indicates that the Thomas Todd who died in Sept 1777 lived in a different part of North Carolina. Hence there is only one Thomas Todd in Rowan Co in the family of Joseph of Eling.
     "On 31-Oct-1777 Thomas made a will in Rowan County, NC Book A page 259, and probated 03-Feb-1778.

; NB:
     On 1 May 2022, I began making several important changes in my TODD family line. There were a number of different TODD families who settled in the American colonies, coming from the United Kingdom. A group of TODD family researchers, with results published by Richard McMurtry [2013] [2022], have built an ancestry with a William TOD as the progenitor of my line.
     I have found that I have two lines of descent from Joseph TODD (c1748-1810) and his wife Anna Maria CROUSE/GROSE (c1750-bef 1810), my 4th great grandparents. The first line is from their son, Isaiah TODD (1772-1840) and his first wife, Prudence ALEXANDER (1776-1852). The second line of descent is through their daughter, Nancy TODD (c1790-aft 1870) and her second husband, Armstrong HART (c1776-1829).
     My earlier version (v.A) of the ancestry of Joseph TODD (c1748-1810) was as follows (in Ahnentafel form):
Version A
     My current revisions (v.B), based on the work published by McMurtry, now shows:
Version B
     My earlier work was based on a combination of earlier version (pre-2012) of McMurtry's work and a number of other pedigrees published on various websites and published research (e.g., Paxton [1897:129]. One source of early errors (corrected by McMurtry's later publications) was the confusion of two different men named Thomas TODD who lived at the beginning of the Revolutionary war. In McMurtry's words: "The misleading information about there being two Thomas TODDs in Rowan County came from a DAR record which erroneously identified the Thomas Todd who died while serving in the Revolutionary War as the Thomas of Rowan County."
     Much of McMurtry's later published TODD family genealogy is based on some rather extensive DNA analyses of samples from hundreds of Todd family descendants and a much more extensive review of early records. This work helped to pinpoint Caleb TODD (1686-unk) as the probable father of Thomas TODD (1723-1777), rather than Caleb's brother, Joshua (1689-1719), as I had earlier shown. The record of Joseph TODD as a son of William TOD is from an Eling (Southamptonshire, England) Parish Register baptism record recorded by McMurtry as "Joseph and Benjamin, sons of William Tod, 15-Jan-1645". McMurtry also records another likely son of William TOD: "Todd Samuel, son of William Tod of Eling, Yeo to John Swift, glazier, for 7 years from date of indenture, 23-Dec-1678. Entered 14-Jun-1683." (citing the Calendar of Southampton Apprenticeship Registers 1609-1740).^21,22,23,11
