John Edwards Todd asserts that this John Todd was the son of the John Todd baptized at Pontefract, West Riding, Yorkshire 18 October 1594. If so, he would be first cousin to Christopher Todd of New Haven. No independent information has been found to confirm this potential relationship.

"John Todd who was baptized Oct. 18, 1594, was born at Pontefract, York County, England, and married in 1620, Alice Clayton of Bradford, York County, England, where their son John was born and who married in 1643, Susanna Hunt who was born at Bradford, County of York, in 1621. He emigrated to America, settling first in Charlestown, Mass. and shortly afterwards went to Rowley, Mass. where he became a prominent citizen. He was elected as a representative from that town to the General Court."[3]
