LDS IGI RESEARCH NOTES: a farmer in Montgomery Co, PA. In 1760 he bought from the Proprietaries of Pennsylvania 150 acres of land on the Perkiomen, nearly opposite Phoenixville. In 1765 he purchased another tract of 44 acres, and in 1775 a third tract of 58 acres. These three tracts adjoined each other, forming a plantation of 252 acres. His home was where the village of Mont Clare now stands. In 1783 he sold his farm, which then comprised 246 acres, for $12,000, and moved to Kentucky the next year to join his sons Levi and Robert. He died in Kentucky. Mr. Todd's house in Montgomery County stood about two hundred yards east of what was known as the corner store, owned by his brother Robert. It was a few miles distant from Lower Providence Presbyterian Church, of which he was a member. In the graveyard attached to this early meeting house many of the Todds are buried.
