THE TODDS OF KING AND QUEEN iv-.i

Harry I, Todd had a large grant of land direct from the crown.

In the eighth volume of Hennings Statutes, page 631, may be found

an act of the general assembly, of date February 1772, docking the

entail of the estate of William Todd, gentleman. It recites that one

Thomas Todd, formerly of the County of Gloucester, gentleman,

was, in his lifetime, seized of a considerable estate in land, and

among others a large and valuable tract lying in the Mattsapruy

River, in the county of King and Queen, and of another tract, con>

taining about one thousand acres, lying in the Dragon's Swamp, in

the parish of St. Stephens, in the said County of King and Queen.

In the deed, dated 16th March, 1709, this Thomas Todd granted

to his son William Todd and the heirs of his body begotten of

Martha Vicaris, his intended wife, five hundred acres, part of his

said tract on the Mattsapruy River, and by his will of date the 4th

of March, 1723, the same Thomas Todd bequeathed the tract on

the Dragon's Swamp to his sons Philip and Richard Todd,

By the death of Philip and Richard, and without male heirs, the

whole of this estate became vested in the above William Todd, son

of Thomas. From this WiUiam Todd, the elder, it descended to

his grandson, by Martha Vicaris, William Todd, of King and Queen,

v/hose right therein was vested in George Brooks, William Lyne,

Gregory Baylor, John Taylor, Corbin and Richard Tunstail, as trus-

tees, to be sold and the proceeds reinvested as directed.

From an account on page 57 of the same volume of Henning

it is ascertained that the above William Todd, the elder, died in

1736, leaving daughters Dorothy and Betty; grandsons William

Gordon and Richard Barbour and sons Richard and Thomas Todd.

He left a very large estate in the parish of St. Thomas, Orange

Cotmty, as well as considerable possessions in King and Queen.

A large and valuable plot of this property he bequeathed to

his oldest son, Richard Todd, who was the father of the above Wil-

lO

liam Todd, grandson of VVilliam, the elder, in whom the entail

docked in tlie first statute above mentioned had vested.

This Richard Todd's wife was Elizabeth Richards, a woman of

great energy and good intellect. William Todd, v.'hose entail was

docked in 1772, was tlieir eldest son, and the noted Judge, Thomas

Todd, of Kentucky, their youngest. The latter is stated by Collins

to have been born in King and Queen County in 1765. His father

died v/hen he v/as a child; his excellent mother &oon follov/ed to

the grave. Thus orphaned at an early age, by his guardian he was

afforded opiX)rtunities for obtaining a good English education and

xhe lounuaviou oi oxic in llie cla^incs.

By the embarrassments of his guardian he v/as, while still a

boy, thrown upon his own recources. For a short tim.e, during the

closing days of the Revolution, he was in the army. Invited to be-

come an inmate of the family of his relative, Karry Innes, then

residing in Bedford County, he became acquainted with the art of

surveying and obtained the proficiency as a clerk and those meth-

odical habits and attention to details, which proved the foundation

of future eminence. Collins asserts tliat he came first to Ken-

tucky, with the family of Harry Innes, in 1786. McClurg, who v/as

not apt to have erred in such a matter, that he was at Danville in

1784, and was chosen and acted as clerk of the first convention held

at that place in that year, of the convention of delegates from the

militia companies called by General Ben Logan, v/hich was the fore-

runner of all the others. From that time he was clerk of all the

succeeding conventions, until the establishment of the State in 1792.

He represented Kentucky in the Virginia legislature before the

separation. In 1792 he was one of the electors of the Senate. He

v/as the first clerk of the federal court in the district, and upon its

cstablishmednt of the court of appeals, under the second constitu-

tion of 1799, he v/as appointed its first clerk. In ISOl he was ap-

pointed judge of the court of appeals, and in 180S its chief justice.

V/hen the seventh United States Circuit District was formed he was

1

1

appointed by Mr. Jefferson an associate justice of the United States

Supreme Court, which ofnce he held until his death in 1826. Judge

Thomas Todd was an amiable, generous man, of kind heart and

popular manner.

That he was a man of talent and ability, and of good profes-

sional attainments is sufliciently evidenced by the acceptable manner

in which he discharged the duties imposed by those high trusts.

His abilities commanded the respect, while his personal quali-

ties won the friendship of John Marshall.

Mr. John R. Whitcraft,

Dear Sir:

Your letter of the Sth inst. is to hand, and beg to say that v/e

have rua tli^ lnJc^.ts xoi deeds, etc., covering some years before

and after the period you state (1676-7), but fail to find any deed

from Mrs. Anne Todd to Charles Gorsuch, trustee. This deed may

be in the Court of Common Pleas of Baltimore City, or the Court

that has the custody of the old County Provincial Records.

There must have been some relation existing between Charles

Gorsuch and James Todd on account of the following entry:

Nich's Fitzsimmons and vAfe, and James Tod; agent, Charles

Garsuch.—High Court of Chancery. Spa. and Injunct. Bill to be

filed in 15 days, viz: by ye 25 inst. (Oct., 1695). Liber P. C. No. 2,

folio 318.

Nich's Fitzsimmon and James Tod; agent, Charles Gorsuch.

—

High Court of Chancery. This cause agreed. Liber P. C. No. 2,

folio 339.

This is all we are able to give you concerning your inquiry.

Very truly yours,

THOMAS A. SMITH,

Commissioner of the Land Office.
