Todd History

The Todd linage has been traced to the mid-1500s to Reginald Todd of Yorkshire, England. From there, descendants traveled to New Haven, Connecticut, in the mid-1600s; then to Chautauqua and Herkimer Counties in New York in the early 1800s.

A descendant of Christopher Todd of Connecticut, Levi Goodsil was the son of Bela Todd and Lucy Hemmingway. Levi Goodsil Todd was the first Todd in Nebraska, arriving in Cass County in 1853. His wife, Lydia Jones, is pictured below.
