Surnames: Todd, Thomas, David, Baltz, James
I'm looking for further background of Owen Todd [1805-1891]. His first marriage to Catherine Thomas [m.1828] produced David Samuel Todd [b1829-d1898] who was born in Wales, but she died either in childbirth or shortly afterward. Owen Todd's 2nd marriage was to Anne Thomas David and they had 2 more boys--Owen--never married, and William married Augusta Baltz.
DSTodd married Elizabeth James in 1858. David's 7th child, William Samuel Todd [1871-1953]is my grandfather, also born in Wales. DSTodd came and settled in Illinois and had his 10th and 11th children here.
I think that Owen Todd's father might be a David Todd born about 1811-12. This David Todd might have children: Mary, Robert, Owen [the line I'm searching], Susan, Kitty....?
Anybody notice your family line connection?
Going backwards from me: Wm E Todd--Ross D Todd--Wm Samuel Todd--David Samuel Todd--Owen ? Todd--David ? Todd--???? Where does this go?
Thanks, Bill

Sorry I did not catch this message sooner. I am a direct descendent of Owen Todd, Sr. via William Todd, Sr. Yes the family settled in Shabbona Twp., DeKalb Co., IL. David Samuel and family followed a few years later. There still are many descendents in the Shabbona Grove, Rollo, Paw Paw, Waterman, Somonauk area. Like many families, they have started to scatter. I have a fairly complete listing of Owen's descendents but as always it is never complete. There is a contact on the David Samuel side of the family that I can give you that has a good listing and photos too. David's family also scattered through MN, MS, MI, NJ, and IL. Please contact me.

Bill, this is Terry R. Todd. I don't check these message boards as often as I use to. That very old post was linked to an out-of-date email address, so I did not get an alert that you had posted. How are you doing? I am a descendent of William Todd, youngest son of Owen and Ann Davis Todd. My database of Todds continues to grow. I will gladly send you any information I have on the family. I do have a couple of pictures that I would like you to look at. These are from Noxubee Co. MS and supposedly the Todd family and friends there. It looks like a large gathering of people in front of an old house. The decorations appear to be 4th of July. The time timing is 1910-1930. I will try to send you and email through Ancestry's message system.
