Research Notes:
Went to Kentucky in 1776. He was in McClellan's fort (Georgetown), when it was attacked by Indians in 1776, and was severely wounded in the hip. While convalescing he was attacked by a buffalo bull; his shoulder blade was broken and one of the animal's horns penetrated his lungs. When McClellan's fort was abandoned, Jan 30, 1777, Mr. Todd went to Harrodsburg. In 1778, he became a captain in Gen. George Rogers Clarke's little army of conquest, and was in all of Clarke's campaigns agains the English and the Indians. His commission was in a Virginia State regiment, 1778-1782. In 1787, he was in command of an expedition to the Scioto river region, north of the Ohio, in which three Indians were killed and seven captured. He was a man of rigid, unbending integrity, and one of the bravest soldiers of Kentucky of that early day. Captain Todd was a skillful surveyor and served as surveyor of Fayette county. He settled at Lexington, where he became an extensive land owner. He was one of the commissioners to choose the seat of government for the new State of Kentucky, and gave his deciding vote for Frankfort instead of Lexington to avoid a suspicion of being governed by self interest in his choice. He held a number of civil offices. He was chosen a State Senator for Fayette Co., in 1792, and was Quarter Sessions Judge and afterward Assistand Judge of the Circuit Court of the county. When the Record office of the county at Lexington was burned, Jan 31, 1803, he was one of the nine gentlemen who carefully copied the charred record books. Like his brothers, John and Levi, he was opposed to slavery, and in 1799 he emancipated his slaves, one of whom had accompanied him in all his campaigns. [Ref: Helm TODD p85]
