Other notes say that Robert immigrated with his brother Andrew to PA in 1737


From "Historic Families of Kentucky," by Thomas Marshall Green, originally published Cincinnati, 1889, reprinted for Clearfield Co., by Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, 1996, p.209:

"Two of his [Robert Todd's] grandsons, Andrew and Robert Todd, came with their families to America in 1737. Of these two, Robert Todd was born in Ireland in 1697, died in Montgomery Co., Pa., in 1775, and was buried in the churchyard of the Presbyterian Church. His first wife, whose name is supposed to have been Smith, died and was buried in Ireland. In Ireland, he married for a second time, Isabella, sister of Major Wm. Bodley. The mother of Isabella and Gen'l. Wm. Bodley was a Parker, a name which belongs to many families of note in Pennsylvania. By his first wife, Robert Todd - the emigrant, had two sons, John and David. By his second wife, he had five sons and four daughters: William, Andrew, Robert, Samuel, Levi, Elizabeth, Mary, Rebecca and Sarah. The last named married John Findlay, or Finley, who "went westward."

From "Todd Family," by Emily Todd Helm, Kittochtinney Magazine, published by G.O. Seilhamer, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, Vol. 1, No. 1 (January 1905), p. 70:
"Robert Todd (born in Co. Armagh, Ireland, in 1697 -- died near Trappe, Montgomery co., Pa., in 1775), son of John Todd, of Drumgare, Co. Armagh, Ireland, emigrated to Pennsylvania with his brother Andrew in 1737, and settled in Montgomery county. He was a farmer in the Trappe region and was buried in the Providence church graveyard."

Emigrant, graduated Princeton 1749, licensed by New Brunswick Presbytery, ordained 1751. Probably immigrated with his family in 1729 or 1737. "Famed Presbyterian minister and an original member of the Presbytery of Hanover." This line is the ancestors to Mary Lincoln Todd. (David Todd b: 1723 brother to John, his son Levi Todd b: 1756, his son Robert Smith Todd b: 1791, and his daughter Mary Ann Todd b: 1818 m Abraham Lincoln November 4, 1842.) Mary's great, great grandfather Robert Todd b: 1697

"Excerpt from "Historic Families of Kentucky," 1889, by Thomas Marshall Green, in Virginia State Library, Richmond VA, 1952, under "Todds": "In 1679, John Todd fled from the persecutions of Claverhouse in Scotland to find refuge in the North of Ireland. The record of Mrs. Ben Hardin Helm describes John Todd, the refugee, as a "Scottish Laird," and that means simply that he owned land in fee and was a landlord, and not at all that he belonged to or was allied with the nobility. Two of his grandsons, Andrew and Robert Todd, came with their families to America in 1737. Of these two, Robert Todd was born in Ireland in 1697, died in Montgomery Co., Pa., in 1775, and was buried in the churchyard of the Presbyterian Church. His first wife, whose name is supposed to have been Smith, died and was buried in Ireland. In Ireland, he married for a second time, Isabella, sister of Major Wm. Bodley. The mother of Isabella and Gen'l. Wm. Bodley was a Parker, a name which belongs to many families of note in Pennsylvania. By his first wife, Robert Todd - the emigrant, had two sons, John and David. By his second wife, he had five sons and four daughters: William, Andrew, Robert, Samuel, Levi, Elizabeth, Mary, Rebecca and Sarah. The last named married John Findlay, or Finley, who "went westward." -- Edney, Rozell.

John Todd married twice, and his second wife was Rose Cornell. -- Edney, citing Wright.
He was married to Isabella BODLEY after 1737 in PA. (651)(975) (976) Isabella Bodley [Hamilton?] was Robert Todd's second of three wives. "It is presumed that they married either at home of parents near Trappe, Montgomery Co., Pa, by a brother John Todd, who was a prominent Presbyterian Minister in that day or by Rev. Samuel Finley, who was a cousin of the father." -- Edney (quoting Frandsen).

[The date of his second marriage was after either 1720 or 1737, as Robert Todd emigrated from Ireland one of those two years.]

Robert Todd's second wife was Isabella Bodley [Hamilton]. -- Edney, citing Wright.

Sarah Todd's parents were Robert Todd born 1697 and Isabella Bodley. -- Rozell.
