Descendants of Christopher TODD

Generation One

1. Christopher1 TODD was born on 11 Jan 1617 at Pontefract, West Riding, Yorkshire, England. He married Grace MIDDLEBROOK, daughter of Michael MIDDLEBROOK and Mrs. (Middlebrook), circa 1636 at New Haven, New Haven, CT. He died on 23 Apr 1686 at New Haven, New Haven, CT, at age 69 (John Edwards Todd, The Todd Family in America , Gazette Printing, Co.. Hereinafter cited as Todd Family.).

He Christopher Todd and Edward Wigglesworth and their wives joined the New Haven, Connecticut colony soon after, in 1638. They were not among the first settlers, but were among the first additions. Their names appear several times in the records of the Colony.

Christopher became a farmer, miller and baker. He seems to have been at first one of the less prominent of the colonists. he signed the "General Agreement" modestly with his mark and quietly took his allotment in the "Yorkshire quarter." When the "meeting-house" was "dignified" he had his place assigned him, not in one of the honorable "middle states," but in the "third side seate," though "sister Tod" (for they worshipped in those days "the men apart and their wives apart") was a little more fortunate.

It was not long, however, before Christopher Todd began to make another kind of mark. He bought a grist-mill, which the town had built where Whitney's gun factory now stands; and it was long know as "Todd's mill." The records of the "General Court" show that he was continually adding to his real estate. He even rose to the dignity of a "viewer of fences."

In 1650 he bought an acre and a half on Elm Street in the more aristocratic "London quarter" on a part of which St. Thomas's Church now stands. He occupied a house on the eastern part of it. this ground, known in after-times as "the Blue Meeting house Lot" remained in the family for nearly a hundred years.

Christopher Todd died at a good old age, leaving a will which is a model for sense and wisdom. He had three sons and three daughters of whom the whole earth around and in distant states has ben overspread. He immigrated on 26 Jun 1637 to On the ship, Hector, (Boston, MA) (Frank C. Holmes, Ancestral Heads N.E. Families , Genealogical Publishing Co. Inc., p.239. Hereinafter cited as Ancestral Heads.).
