John was born on 9 Jan 1831 in Pickens District, South Carolina. He was a son of William Todd Sr. and Mary Bolton Richards.[1]

On 20 Jul 1861, John enlisted at Camp Pickens as a Corporal in the Confederate States Army. He was attached to Company E, 1st Reg't South Carolina Rifles (Orr's Regiment).[2] He was promoted to Sergeant on 4 Aug 1863. Before the war ended, he was wounded in battle on 5 May 1864.[3]

On 17 Aug 1865, he married Frances "Fannie" Clarinda George, and they made their home in Walhalla, Seneca Township, Oconee County, South Carolina.[4] By 1880 they had moved to Keowee Township, in Oconee County, and John's 84-year-old mother is living with them.[5] They had seven children:

  1. James Albert (1866-1872)
  2. Mary Amanda (1867-)
  3. William Newton (1871-1920)
  4. George Cato (1873-1889)
  5. Naomi (1876-1901)
  6. Johnny (1877-1879)
  7. Hattie (1880-1880)

By 1900 Fannie had died, and John was still living in Keowee. His son William and daughter-in-law Eva were living with him.[6] By 1910, William had stepped up as Head of Household. He and Eva now had a house full of children, and John still lived with them.[7]

John passed away on 12 Nov 1910, in Picket Post (near Walhalla), Oconee County. He was buried in Bethel Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Walhalla, Oconee County, South Carolina.[8]
