     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.)".

; 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).^7,8,9,6

Joseph Todd immigrated after 1759 to Rowan Co., North Carolina, USA; p. 129: "...after residing a time in Rowan Co., N. C., removed to Hardin Co., Ky., and thence to Madison Co., KY. In 1817 he pressed forward to Howard co., Mo."¹

; From SAR Application: "...private in Captain George Wall's company of Bucks County Militia, 1775. ...Page 325, Volume Five, Penna. Archives, Fifth Series."¹⁰
In Thomas Todd's will dated 31 October 1777 at Rowan Co., North Carolina, USA, Joseph Todd was named as executor; from Cox (p. 68): "Thomas Todd will was made 31 Oct 1777 while sick and weak - Will Book A, p. 255 in Rowan co., NC."

     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.)".

; from Angelfire: "Thomas TODD was born about 1723 in Philadelphia, PA. He died about 1777 in Rowan Co., NC. Died in combat in the Revolutionary War. Statement from Adjutant General's Office, United States War Department, Thomas Todd enlisted -------, 1777, for three years, and died September ____, 1777. No further record relative to him or his service, has been found." This record is also found in North Carolina State Records, and an entry showing that Mr. Philip Fisburn received pay (as attorney ) in 1786, pounds 38.8.6 for the service of Thomas Todd, Thomas Todd had earlier serviced in the North Carolina Troops under Captain Lawrence Thompson, enlisting May 1, 1771 and serving until June 29th. He was paid for sixty days at 7s6d, or pounds. 6.0.0. (Records of Hubert and Geneva Cox, Moweaqua, Illinois ) In 1772, Thomas Todd acquired a 260-acre tract from James Simerson (Rowan Co., NC, Book 7, p. 462)."⁹

Reference: Per McMurtry [2022]: "(1) Joseph Todd (TF17) of Eling, Southamptonshire, England died in Philadelphia in 1699. His son Joseph settled in Bucks County, PA by 1701; his son Thomas died in Philadelphia in 1732; his son appears to be the Caleb who in 1742 and 1745 was in the portion of Bucks Co that became Northampton Co. Caleb is therefore the most likely person to have been the father of the three Todds who appear in the 1760s tax lists for Northampton Co: Thomas, Benjamin and Caleb. Previous historians have assumed that these three were sons of Joshua, son of Joseph d 1699. But there is no evidence to support this other than the appearance of the name Joshua in later generations. These three migrated about 1770 to the Jersey Settlement in Rowan County, North Carolina. Caleb, son of Caleb, migrated to Wilkes Co GA by 1781 and most of the rest of the family migrated to Madison County, KY in the 1790s. Caleb of Wilkes Co GA appears to have transferred his lands to his son Benjamin Todd who remained in GA while Caleb moved to Madison County after 1803 where he died soon thereafter."

Per McMurtry [2013]:
     "Thomas Todd was born about 1717-1727 based on being 21-31 at the birth of his son Joseph in 1748.
     "Though previously thought to be the Thomas mentioned as a son of Thomas Todd died 1733 Philadelphia, the new evidence that a Caleb Todd was in the Northampton County area in 1742 and 1745 suggests that Thomas was the son of this Caleb. Also, Sarah Todd d 1748, daughter of Thomas Todd d 1733 did not mention any brothers in her will though she mentioned several cousins which suggests that the three Todd men in Northampton in the 1760s were not brothers to Sarah.
     "Thomas was in Northampton County by 1752 when the Proprietors requested that he be detained for being on land in Bethlehem Township, Northampton County without a warrant. He was a jury foreman in 1755, appointed coroner in 1757 and named as a replacement for the sheriff in 1759. He appears in the Northampton Tax Lists 1761-1768 as previously described in detail.
     "By 1772, he had settled in Rowan County NC with Benjamin and Caleb, assumed to be his brothers. He bought 260 acres on the East Side of the Yadkin River in 1772 which he bequeathed to his sons in 1777.
     "He died between October 1777 and Feb 1778, leaving a wife and 6 children.
     "Previous family historians thought that there were two Thomas Todds in Rowan Co - one being the son of Thomas died 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. So there is no strong evidence for the three Todds who migrated to Rowan County not being brothers.
     "Thomas Todd was born about 1717-27 based on assuming an age of 20-30 on the birth of his son Joseph in 1848. The birth of his son Joseph and is listed as a child of Thomas in the Will of his grandfather Richard Cummins. He became coroner of Northampton County in 1757, presumably because of the intervention of his great-uncle William Parsons 1701-1757, the founder of Easton. Thomas, along with this brothers Benjamin and Caleb appear on the Northampton County tax lists 1761-1769.

Reference: Summary of the Todd Family at Platt Co., Missouri, USA.¹¹ Thomas Todd was a mentioned with Caleb (I) Todd at Citation; Per McMurtry [2013]:
     "Caleb Todd was one of the children of Joseph Todd d 1699 by Joseph's second wife Joanne Swift. He was born sometime in the 1680s or 1690s, but we don't have any way to pinpoint this more precisely. Since his brother Joseph moved to Bucks County, Caleb seems also to have gone that route but further north in the county.
     "There is a Caleb Todd who was appoinated overseer in 1745 in Durham Township of Bucks County (History of Bucks County, 1876, p 642) which lay in the far north of Bucks County and included what became Williams Township in Northampton County.
     "A Caleb Todd had a 1742 land warrant survey that was resurveyed in 1782 in Williams Township. (Williams Township lay south of Bethehem PA where a Caleb, Thomas and Benjamin all appeared in the 1760s tax lists for Northampton County.) This land was patented to Henry Miller in 1797.
     "In 1752, in Northampton County, a Caleb Todd was an administrator of the estate of Thomas Richards. This could be the same Caleb Todd as was associated with Williams Township especially if his son Caleb was not born until 1734 (based on Caleb the son being 31 at birth of first child in 1765) and hence being too young to be the Caleb of the estate administration. Richards Thomas ltr of Adm granted Isaac Richards, Caleb Todd & Joseph Richards all of Northampton Co, yeoman 24 Nov. 1752. I am unable to determine who this Richards family was; however, there was a Joseph Richards 1733-1816 who died in Williams Township.
     "We also have a report of a Caleb Todd selling land to a Lewis Enger though we have no reference to where this sale took place. Since there were no Todds in Northampton County in the 1770s and early 1780s based on published tax lists in the Pennsylvania Archives, it would appear that the Caleb Todd who had the land resurveyed in 1782 could have been Caleb Todd b abt 1730-40 of Rowan County. Since the land was not patented until 1797, the land might have been released after Caleb Todd's death in 1795.
     "This suggests that the Caleb Todd who was overseer in 1745 acquired the land warrant for this land in 1742, but somehow the right to the land devolved to Caleb Todd of Rowan Co. Other interpretations might also be possible.
     "This throws a monkey wrench into our efforts to sort out the origins of the Todds. If Caleb Todd was in the Bethlehem area in 1745, then he could have been the father of Thomas, Caleb and Benjamin, rather than his brother Thomas (died 1733 Philadelphia) being that father
     "At this point, we have no way to sort this out, but we are placing the three brothers as sons of Caleb based on the assumption they were brothers and based on Caleb being the only Todd in the Northampton County area old enough to have fathered the three boys.
     "Nothing more about Caleb is known, but it is tempting to consider that he may have been the ancestor of the mysterious Joseph Todd b 1770-80 d 1819 in Fauquier Co Virginia. DNA from this Joseph matches the rest of the family but no documentary evidence of where this Joseph connects to the family has been found.
Notes and Documentation
     "Caleb Todd warrantee for a survey dated 16 Apr 1742 with warrant dated 9 Feb 1743, resurveyed in 1872 to Caleb Todd. (Survey C 232, p 174). The land was patented to Henry Miller 24 June 1796, (Patent Book: P 33, 198.) Neighbors on the survey were Benedict Lutz, George Laubach, Jacob Younker, Frederick Fretchy, Conrad Trinkle and Conrad Hoot. Benedict Lutz 1735-1818 died in Lower Saucon Township, Northampton Co; There was a Jacob Schimer who died at Redington, Lower Saucon Township, whose estate has accounts related to Benjamin Todd (case for work done) and Benedict Lutz and Conrad Hoot. There was a Bernhardt Miller 1722-1792 who died in Williams Township who had a son George Heinrich Miller who was probably the Henry Miller who acquired Caleb Todd's land. We therefore assume that the Benjamin, Thomas and Caleb in the 1760s tax lists are sons of Caleb Todd of the 1740s records mentioned above.
     "Note the following agreement written in 1788 refers to land that once was that of Caleb Todd and Ulrich Sleepy. Presumably this is a clue as to where Caleb Todd lived in Northampton Co before moving to Rowan County: Articles of Agreement, Bethlehem Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania.

     "There was a Caleb Todd who married in Lymington in England in 1736 (Hampshire Marriage Register of Bishop of Winchester 1689-1837: Caleb Todd Jr of Lymington m. Sarah Parsons 28-Aug-1736). It is not clear what relationship this Caleb has to Joseph Todd d 1699 nor to the Caleb Todd who had a warrant for land in 1743 in Bucks Co nor to the Parson family of Philadelphia.
     "All Caleb's sons went to Rowan County between 1768 and 1772 and settled in the Jersey Settlement along the Yadkin River. This area was located below (southeast) the forks of the South and North Yadkin River The Trading Camp Settlement of 1750 was across the river on the West Side. The earliest families were in this settlement as early as 1745. According to First Families of Jersey Settlement by Ethel Stroupe, "The first settlers were Hopewell citizens who migrated aft being swindled by Proprietors and royal Governors, especially Dr. Daniel Coxe and his son, Col Daniel Coxe, two powerful and greedily villainous Proprietors, in The Coxe Affair. What these Jersey men endured in Hopewell directly affected the Yadkin's Revolutionary generation, explaining why Jersey Settlement had reacted so violently against NC's corrupt Governor William Tryon's sticky-fingered royal officials, John Frohock, Rowan Court Clerk, and Edmund Fanning. King's Attorney, whose thievery and injustices caused the 1771 Regulator War (considered by historians the first true battle of the American Revolution), and caused Charles Lord Cornwallis to call central North Carolina 'a hornet's nest of rebellion.' The earliest families came from Hopewell Twp, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, where some had been members of Pennington's Presbyterian Church, and others were Quakers and Baptists who baptized their children in St. Mary's Episcopal Church for practical, political reasons." Swearing Creek, where we know Benjamin settled, is where Thomas Smith received land in 1745/6. 'He fled Hopewell with John Parke and had rebelled so strongly in Hopewell that he became a fugitive and died at his home on Swearing Creek. At least 22 of the 50 families who lost both lawsuit and land in the infamous Coxe Affair eventually moved to Jersey Settlement.²'"
; 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).^12,13,14,15

     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.)".

....Also where do you live? I live right next to Callaway County, (Jefferson City, MO.), where the Crow families were located and have gone down there to look around. There is a log house, still barely standing, that Joseph Crow built I think around 1819, if my memory is right. It was really neat to see as this was probably a "great house" in it's time. (2 story) And slave
quarters. Rawley had seven children so which do you come down from? I come from Thomas R. Crow and Lissie (Whitaker) Crow.
Thanks for answering so quickly and will await your return!!
Your Cuz,

; Possibly the same GRAY family line:
from Bryan and Rose [1876], p. 335:
GRAY.-- Alexander Gray, of Scotland, married Elizabeth Fitzhugh, and settled in Halifax county, Va. their children were - James, John, Alexander, Robert, George, Henry, Elizabeth, Mary, and Sally. George was married in 1799, to Fannie Brooks, of Virginia, and settled in Callaway county in 1823. His children were - John B., Alexander, George W.l, Martha, Elizabeth, Rachel, Polly, Fannie, and Anna, all of whom were born in Virginia, but settled in Callaway county with their parents.⁸

; NB Re parents of Elizabeth (GRAY) CROW: For the moment, I hypothesize that Elizabeth may be the dau. of William and Anna Arbuckle (LANGTRY) GRAY, based on the following evidence:
     1) According to the 1850 census, Elizabeth was born in VA. William and Anna were in VA at that time, before moving West to MO.
     2) William and Anna's other daughter, Susan, married the brother of Eliabeth's husband.
     3) The 1840 census listing for William GRAY has one female, aged 10-14 (i.e., born 1826-30) which would match Elizabeth (b ca 1827).
     4) Elizabeth married Francis CROW in 1847. William GRAY died in 1844. His widow, "Ann CROW" appeared in the 1850 census with only four children (i.e., without Elizabeth). Elizabeth appears with her husband, Frank CROW in the 1850 census.
This issue of Elizabeth's parents is still open to further research and proof or disproof. GA Vaut.^9,10,11,12

Anna S./B. Crow was buried after 20 February 1934 at Laurel Oak Cemetery, Windsor, Henry Co., Missouri, USA; Anna is buried next to her aunt and uncle, William Martin and Nancy Ann (CROW) BRADLEY.
From Find A Grave:
      ; NB: My information on Anna S. CROW is confusing and limited. The 1870 census shows a 14 year old Anna in her parent's household. Then there is am 1873 marriage record for an Annie S. CROW and a Samuel J. BOYD.
     However, Sandy Roll reports that Anna married an R. [sic] BOYD was the mother of three boys: James S. (b. 1858), Samuel P. (b. 1860), and Saniel (b. 1863).
     There is an 1870 census record for an R. W. and a Sarah A. BOYD (in Jefferson Twp., Cole Co., MO) and seven children, including three sons: James P. (aged 12 i.e., b. ca 1858), Samuel P. (aged 10 i.e., b. ca 1860), Daniel W. (aged 7 i.e., b. ca 1863).
     Finally, there was an Anna B. CROW born 10 Oct 1854 in Callaway Co., MO, the daughter of a John and "Rice" (GREY) CROW, who married a George Smith ca 1891. She died 20 Feb 1934. Info is from her Obituary, her Death Certificate, her FAG memorial and the 1900 census.
     I have now concluded the the Anne, daughter of John and Elizabeth (GRAY) CROW, who appeared with them in the 1870 census was most likely the Anna B. (CROW) SMITH who married George W. SMITH and who was in the Death Certificate, obituary and FAG memorial.
     She was not the mother of the three boys assigned to her by Sandy Roll. As mentioned above, they were apparently the sons of an R. A. and Sarah A. BOYD. Anna, daugher of John H. CROW (from the 1870 census) would have been only 4 years old when the first son, James S., was born.
     I am not sure who the "Annie S. CROW" who married Samuels J. Boyd in 1873 was, though this might have been a first marriage for Anne CROW and George W. SMITH was her 2nd marriage. That could explain why she has a middle initial of "B." in her obituary and on her death certificate. There is a George W. and Annie Smith in the 1900 census for Fulton Twp. who had beren married 9 years (i.e., married ca 1891), when Anna CROW would have been 37 years old. The George's wife's birthdate is given as Oct 1854, which could match the Anna CROW from the 1870 census and the Anna B. (CROW) SMITH from the death certificate and obituary. Also, the birthplace for Annie SMITH is given as MO, while those for her mother and father are given as KY and VA, respectively, which match the father of the Anna CROW in the 1870 census and her mother Elizabeth (GRAY) CROW. Finally, the Anna B. (CROW) SMITH mentioned in the Obiruary, death certificate, and FAG memorial, is buried next to a William Martin and Nancy Ann (CROW) BRADLEY. Anna B. (CROW) SMITH was the niece of Nancy Ann CROW.
Conclusion: I have amended the records accordingly. GA Vaut.^{4,10,2,9,11,7}
