Lovel's parents were Charles Tod (born 10 May 1777, Caroline Co., VA, died Jan 1832 in VA) and Elizabeth Muse Pierce (b. 14 Apr 1792, Caroline Co., VA, died 6 Dec 1826, Caroline Co., VA). They married on 15 Dec 1807.

He was the oldest of nine children:
Lovel Pierce Tod (b. 2 Feb 1809, Caroline Co., VA; d. 14 Sep 1873)
Charles Tod (b. 20 Jan 1811, Caroline Co., VA; d. unknown)
George Tod (b. 28 Oct 1812, Caroline Co., VA; d. unknown)
John Burke Tod (b. 15 Dec 1814, Caroline Co., VA; d. 20 Jan 1852, Rankin Co., MS)
Joseph Tod (b. 4 Feb 1817, Caroline Co., VA; d. ca 1887, Rankin Co., MS)
Mary Elizabeth Tod (b. 19 Feb 1819, Caroline Co., VA; d. 13 Nov 1892, probably Rankin Co., MS)
Martha Muse Tod (b. 11 Jun 1823, Caroline Co., VA; d. 27 Sep 1823)
Mira-Ann Cordelia Muse Todd (b. 7 Aug 1824, Caroline Co., VA, d. unknown)
Caroline Virginia Tod (b. 15 Aug 1826, Caroline Co., VA; d. 26 Dec 1861)

Note that several of this TOD generation have their last name spelled as TODD in various documents, and the TODD name has often carried to the present day.

Of Lovel Pierce's children, Mary Ella indeed married a Henshaw - Thomas Elmore Henshaw, to be exact (b. ca 1839 in VA, died after 1880 but before 1900). There was a seventh child of Lovel and Fanny Spindle Todd, John L. Todd (16 Oct 1854-15 Sep 1876), who is listed with the family in the 1860 and 1870 Censuses.

I am a direct descendant of John Burke Tod(d).

Thank you for the info on Lovel Tod & his family. I had a Sarah Ella as one of their children who marr a Henshaw. You have her as Mary. I also had a Mary F. but did not have a husband for her. Which one of these ladies marr the Henshaw man?

Sorry about the confusion. That was my mistake. It was Sarah Ella who married Thomas Elmore Henshaw. According to the 1900 Census, Sarah Tod(d) Henshaw had 5 children, of whom 3 were living: Fannie H. Henshaw (b. ca 1862); Ida Lee Henshaw (b. 4 Dec 1864, d. 31 Dec 1936); and either Mary or Lulie E. Henshaw (I don't know which is correct) (b. Sep 1874).
