• General Notes

     Hampshire Record entries designated the "Tod" spelling, which probably means that this William's family possibly migrated from Scotland or Ireland to England. This was the only Tod/Todd family in the area of Eling in the 1600's. Name found on the baptismal record for Joseph and Benjamin Todd, per Ran Rader. Other sources list his name as John Todd (Darla McDonald). It should be noted that the name of William does not appear among known grandchildren (children of John), which was and still is quite common among the Todd family. This confusion may make it impossible to determine which Todd lines to go through from here. The Todd lines of Denton Parish, County Durham (William "Gulialmus" Todd) may be tied in here, or possibly the lines in Yorkshire (Reginal Todd). There is not enough data to go beyond this at this time.
