R1	Gordy Stith website (at http://www.gordy-stith.com/genealogy.htm.): Robert Smith's research notes Sara Jane Todd's maiden name was STEWART and that her mother, Elizabeth Stewart, was born in Ireland.
R2	1860 United States Federal Census, Western Division, Mecklenburg Co, NC, page 38. Census dated 25 June 1860. Lines 28-34: Dwelling 275, family 293: Mary S. Todd, 55, widow, $125 real property; John, 36, laborer; Martha, 16; Dwelling 275, family 294: William, 12, in school; Mary 9, in school; Calvin, 5; Dwelling 275, family 296: George King, 22, laborer, married within the year; Mary King, 22, m. within the year. All born NC. The age is correct for Mary S. Love (Todd). Her son John should only be 25 according to source 7 above, but there are some clear errors in the record here. The George and Mary King are the right age to be George W. King and Mary Isabell Todd, son and dau.-in-law of Colin C. King. Argyle King also had a son George King, born about 1840.
R3	1870 United States Federal Census, Paw Creek Twp, Mecklenburg Co, NC, page 11. Census dated 2 Sept 1870. John W. Todd, 46, farmer, $300 real, $300 personal property; Mary W., 35, keeping house; Mary S., 65; Rachel(?), 9, Robert, 2. All b. NC. The age is correct for Mary S. Love Todd. The record for John W. Todd is again a problem since Source 6 above lists his death in 1865 and indicates no wife named Mary. The page also includes four additional Todd families.
