Dad always said that we descended from Virginia. But, of which side of the family was he speaking? Gramma's Reynolds/Merritt side? Or the Todd side? We all came from Europe, though stories vary as to where. Dad said we were "The Scottish Todd's." I know that Scotland, Ireland, and England are all the same land mass, basically. So, who knows where the FIRST Todd's came from. Anyway, all would start out in America on the east coast, whether Virginia or not. Where would they have landed? Shucks, I don't know nothin' 'bout this migration stuff. Never done no studyin' on it. I do know that Todd's in Indiana came up from Kentucky, at some point. I know of the Todd's in Heltonville (named after Sally Helton's family, who married my gggrandfather, Thomas Todd.) The old "Mary Todd Lincoln era Todd's" are all buried in Gilgal Cemetery in Pleasant Run township there, all in Lawrence County, Indiana. Then Todds moved all around from that point. But, I would like to know about the migration of our line of Todds from Europe to America's east coast and when they moved to Indiana. Was it Scotland to Virginia to Indiana or was it all under the category, "How the Hell would I know?" Angela Frances Todd ("Angie")
