RE: Are there any Todds still living?
Hi Jim. There is also this story involving Lincoln: In 1863 David Tod, the governor of Ohio, had occasion to visit Washington on government business. During an interview with President Lincoln, the president remarked, "You are perhaps aware, Governor, that my wife is a member of the Todd family of Kentucky, and they all spell their name with two d's. How is it that you use but one?"

David Tod replied, "Mr. President, God spells his name with one d, and one is enough for the Governor of Ohio."
