I wasn't able to locate him in the 1860 census records.

Georgia 13
Dora A. 10
Frances L. 9
Solomon D. 8

Claudius 5
Edward 3
Margaret 2
Brooks 4 mo.
Williams, Jesse 12?

Jesse Williams was doing farm labor for the Todds. I couldn't make out whether his age was 10, 12, or 60.

1880 Tattnall Co. Ga. census:

Where their other children were:
Georgia is now married to James Butler Wilkes and living in his household.

1900 Tattnall Co. Ga. census:


name DOB relationship
Todd, Joseph M. Mar 1834 head
Cynthia Jun 1856- sic
wife
Otis Aug 1878 son
Marvin G. May 1880 son
Bessie Mar 1882 daughter
Charlie Dec 1883 son
Mamie Jun 1896 g. dau.

It appears Otis should be Olus and Mamie was her daughter. cf 1910 Toombs Co. census- Littleton F. Bowen, head; Ola, wife; and Mamie Todd, stepdaughter, age 14.

Where their other children were:
  • Georgia- husband's household in Tattnall Co.
  • Solomon D.- widowed with 4 children in Tattnall Co.
  • Claudius- married to Samantha in Tattnall Co.
  • Edward L.- married to Letyann in Tattnall Co.
  • Julian Melvin- married to Alice in Tattnall Co. Their household is the one after William Brady's, Alice's brother.
  • Elliot- in brother Melvin's household.
  • Dora, Frances, Lucinda, Margaret, Minnie, Cynthia- unknown
  • Brooks- extract from the Dublin Post, courtesy of Galileo Georgia's Historic Newspapers (pdf file- column 4):
    1 Aug 1878- Mr. Marion Todd, on the line of Montgomery and Tattnall counties, has 11 children with whooping cough, there were 12, but one little boy, Paine, (named after Rev. L.B. Paine, Supt. of the Orphan's Home) died last week.
    His full name, according to WC Family Trees was Louis Paine Brooks Todd.
1910 census:

Cynthia is now widowed and living in the household of her son, Elliot in Tattnall Co.

  • In the household before theirs is Jiles (sic- Marvin) with his wife, Laura.
  • Edward L. is two households down.
  • Claudius and Solomon are also in Tattnall Co.
  • Julian Melvin is in Wayne Co. Ga. Their household is the one after his wife's parents'.
  • Charlie is now married to Daisy in Wayne Co. Ga.
  • Georgia's family is now in Toombs Co. Ga.
  • Olus/Ola is married to Littleton Bowen in Toombs Co. Ga.
  • The other sisters are unaccounted for.

Thus, this ends the appearances of Joseph and Cynthia Todd in census records.
