Todd-8278 and Todd-79 are not ready to be merged because: Too many discrepancies with his father. I believe his father was Joshua Todd (Todd-80) and Mary Swift. (No wikitree number for Mary Swift).

There were 4 children of Joshua Todd and Mary Swift: Samuel, Caleb Todd, born 1708, John B Todd, born 1710, Thomas Todd, born 1723 and Benjamin Todd, born 1728. By the bio in the Benjamin Todd (Todd 8278), there is a fairly convincing narrative that Caleb was his father. Benjamin Todd (Todd-79) married Sarah Griffin and had 9 children, one being Benjamin Todd, (Todd-84, originally) born about 1759 who married Anna Johnson Todd. Maybe someone can figure out this out who knows more details or can spend the time fixing the pages if they are incorrect. Thank you

Todd-84 and Todd-79 do not represent the same person because: Todd-79 and Todd-84 were father and son. Birthdates are 1728 and 1759. The confusion may be the wife for Todd-84 as the same person as Todd-79. More investigation needs to be done. Johnson-30905.
