Robert S. Todd Daguerreotype
The Mary Lincoln House posted this today--a daguerreotype of Robert S. Todd from the 1840s. It will be on display there beginning next year.

RE: Robert S. Todd Daguerreotype
Thanks for posting, Susan. I think the only previous image I had seen of him was this painting:

RE: Robert S. Todd Daguerreotype
Very nice!!! Rare!!! And he definitely looks quite a bit like his namesake. :-)
If nobody minds my asking, "what" were the Todds? Irish? French? |

RE: Robert S. Todd Daguerreotype
Presbyterians hints at possibly Northern Irish or Scots ? Very unlikely to be French.
Choosing a name like Robert for a child points to Scots ... and William Wallace ... !!! well, I think you can see a Scots influence there. According to Wikipaedia ... "Mary's paternal great-grandfather, David Levi Todd, was born in County Longford, Ireland, and immigrated through Pennsylvania to Kentucky. Another great-grandfather, Andrew Porter, was the son of an Irish immigrant to New Hampshire and later Pennsylvania. Her great-great maternal grandfather Samuel McDowell was born in Scotland, and emigrated to Pennsylvania. Other Todd ancestors came from England." |
