Sorry, I can't help you with Caleb Sweazy or the Todd's in that time frame. Looked through the index of books I have and there are Todd's listed in "Swasey Family" by B. F. Swasey but too early. Elizabeth Swasey bapt 1723 Old Newbury, Mass. m 1741 Moses Todd, died in Seabrook, N. H. 1796. Doesn't continue this Todd family beyond their children. Moses was a descendant of John Todd of Eng who had a grandson David but he born mid 1700's. New Hampshire seems to be the area of these Todds.

Dorothy, Thank you so much for trying. John Close, born about 1782-1784 in Jefferson or Nelson County, Kentucky to Jacob Close of NC and Joanna Farrow of Prince William County, VA, considered himself to be from Nelson County, KY. He removed to Louisiana by the year 1802. Many of the people John Close was associated with, even in Louisiana, were either from Kentucky or from Virginia. George King of Nelson County(son of William King and Letitia Bland, both of VA) was a mentor. George was with John Close in New Orleans in 1802, and both went from there to St. Landry Parish Louisiana at about the same time. Both remained in Louisiana. Letters from Samuel Crawford, Jr, Joseph "Jo" Allen and Joseph "Jo" Huston, show that Samuel Crawford, Jr., Mason Crawford, Joseph Allen, Joseph Huston, Mr. Stephens and James Jennings were well acquainted with John Close. Elisabeth wells, daughter of Samuel Wells and one of the first members of the Sisters of Nazareth referred to John Close over and over again as her brother. Her letters to him date from 1805 to 1845...that's 40 years. Of the people in his wedding party, D. L. Todd is the one person I've not been able to trace back to KY or VA. Thank you again for trying. I appreciate your effort.
