Research Notes:
Private in Captain Hart's company in the War of 1812, and was wounded and taken prisoner by the British at the River Raisin. His wound was in the left shoulder, the bullet passing downward five or six inches. The ball was extracted on the field by his brother, Dr. John Todd. When the Indians were killing and scalping the wounded on the battle ground they found that Mr. Todd could walk and spared his life. The Indian women dressed his wounds with great tenderness, and an old chief wanted the young Kentucky soldier to marry his daughter. He was ransomed for twenty dollars by his brother, David Todd, by whom he was brought across Lake Erie in a sleigh on the ice. Because of his wound at the Raisin he was granted a pension. His account of his captivity among the Indians, written for his family, was loaned to a relation and was unfortunately lost. He was educated at Translyvania University and was a student and literary man. For many years he lived at Columbia, MO. He was appointed a Register of the Land Office at Fayette, MO, by President Taylor, in 1849. In religion Mr. Todd and his wife were Presbyterians. He was highly respected for his uprightness of character and faithfulness to duty. He was over six feet in height, slender and erect, with black hair and beautiful, black eyes.
