RECORD:

1. Emilie and Katherine Helm , TODD & HELM FAMILY PAPERS. , http://beauproductions.com/marylincoln/biography/geneology.htm. NOTOE Emilie and Katherine protected, and often changed, ages of women in the family. Emilie’s grandmother commented that a woman’s age was a ‘changeable number," and Emilie heeded her grandmother’s advice on several occasions. Even in census records, Emilie changed her daughters’ ages. To further protect their age, Emilie listed family members by listing all the male children in their order of birth, and then listing the female children in their birth order. Here, when information is available, the lists have been changed from Emilie’s original order to placing the children in their descending order of birth. If information is not available, the lists have been left as Emilie originally wrote them. "H. Samuel Briggs Todd b. May 15, 1793 at Lexington, Kentucky d. September 3, 1876 at Columbia, Missouri. Samuel fought at the River Raisin with his brothers, and was wounded in the left shoulder. He was captured by Indians and was later ransomed. He married Caroline Barr (b. February 28, 1794 d. September 1, 1875) from Fayette County, Kentucky. Their children were: 1. Thomas Todd (October 1, 1828. December 20, 1828) 2. Mary Jean Todd (June 27, 1830 June 26, 1833) 3. Margaret Ann Todd (June 9, 1832 -?) 4. Laura Jane Todd (June 15, 1834 June 18, 1902)."
