Cristal, If you go to the LDS Family History Library in your area, they can order microfilm for you. You don't have to buy the films; you can rent them. You can also read the films on their microfilm readers. There will be a listing of all available films there, and the library workers will help you with any questions you have. Happy searching!

A son of Thomas's was Daniel who was born in SC 28 Nov, 1782 married first a Margaret Gray on 22 Dec, 1809. A second marriage was to Elizabeth McColpin on 15, Dec 1821 in Christian County, Kentucky. I know this is not what you were looking for but thought you might like the info anyway.

Hi All, We have added 18 new members to the list in the last 24 hours, for a grand total of 27! Let the games begin! For those of you just joining, I invite you to post your Surnames to the list and be sure to tell us about any brick walls that you have! Additional notes of interest: 1.) I have the 1850 Todd County Census and will be happy to do look ups. 2.) I will be searching the Todd County cemetery books this weekend, happy to do lookups for anyone who needs them. Good Hunting! Karen Combs Visit the Todd County KYGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~kytodd/index.htm

Searching for information about Thomas W. Hurt and Martha C. (Patsey) Edwards who lived in Todd County from at least 1820 to about 1833. Thomas was born in Pittsylvania County, VA ca 1791. He moved to Christian County with his birth family ca 1806 when he was about 15. We next find him on the Todd County tax list in 1820. He married Patsy Edwards in Todd County 22 May 1821. Six children were born to them there before they moved to Calloway County ca 1834, where they had four more children. When did Thomas come to Todd County? Where was Patsey born, and who were her parents? Very happy to exchange info. Susan Hurt [email protected]

Hi All, I want to welcome y'all to the Todd County Kentucky Mailing List! I would like to ask if you would each post your Surnames and if you have a particular individual who is your "Brick Wall" please share that information. Our list is fairly small, but so is Todd County so we should be able to get alot accomplished on this list! I will be the one to start! I am researching COMBS/COOMBS, WINDERS, BRUMFIELD and BOATWRIGHT of Todd County. This is my husbands family and I haven't been working it very long, so I really need to get busy! Karen Combs

The Todd County KY Deed Book S. (p. 28) lists heirs of John JOHNSON: his widow, Elizabeth, of Todd County; John W. JOHNSON, William B. JOHNSON, John P. and Sarah Johnson GUTHRIE, William and Margaret Johnson WITTY, and Daniel REEDER [who was granted power of Attorney], all of Adams County Illinois. Daniel REEDER's wife, Frances S. JOHNSON, was not mentioned but had recently given birth to her tenth child at the time of this hearing (September 1848). I believe that she was unable to attend and therefore her husband Daniel REEDER was given power of attorney. I am interested in hearing from anyone researching this family. I am especially interested in learning Elizabeth's maiden name and where John and Elizabeth were born. Some census records indicate both were born in South Carolina, but in the 1880 census Frances Johnson REEDER gave her father's birthplace as Ireland.

Hi All! Welcome to the mailing list for Todd County!! To get the ball rolling I'd like to announce that I will be at the library this weekend and will be happy to do lookups. Time will be limited so I can't dig too deep, but census books 1820 - 1900, marriage and cemetery books will be no problem. And again, welcome to the list! Karen Combs
