This blog grew out of my "Down Da Road I Go Blog," which was originally to be about stuff I was interested in, music and what I was doing. There was so much history and Civil War entries, I spun two more off. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, I will be spinning a Naval blog off this one called "Running the Blockade."

Mary Todd Lincoln's "Family Divided"-- Part 2
One whole page of the article was devoted to Mary Todd Lincoln's "Confederate" siblings and there were eight of them who either served in Confederate armies, were married to ones serving in Confederate armies or were sympathetic to the Confederate side.
Pictures accompanied the names.
GEORGE ROGERS CLARK TODD
(1825-1902)
Confederate Army surgeon
Was a full brother to Mary
****************************
MARGARET TODD KELLOGG
(1828-1904)
Married a southern sympathizer from Ohio
****************************
SAMUEL TODD
(1830-1862)
Private 24th Louisiana KIA
This one was most likely Samuel Briggs Todd, but also might have been Samuel Brown Todd. I've seen conflicting accounts of who is who. All say Brown or Briggs was half brother to Mary.
Killed at Battle of Shiloh.

DAVID HUMPHREYS TODD
(1832-1871) Lieutenant, 21st Louisiana Artillery
