Robert Barr Todd

From Find A Grave.

Born: 17 January 1826 in Lexington, Ky.

Died:  6 February 1901 in New York City

Buried:  Green-Wood Cemetery,  Brooklyn, NY.

Find a grave has him listed as a Confederate general but I am unable to find anything about that.

He moved to Missouri with his father David Todd, brother of Mary Todd Lincoln''s father, Robert Todd Smith.  Graduated in the first class at the University of Missouri  in 1843 and eventually ended up in Louisiana where he was  a member of both Louisiana houses as well as a Louisiana Supreme Court justice.

According to the Green-Wood Cemetery Civil War biographies, he also was a delegate to the Louisiana Secession  Convention and voted in favor of it.  (So, he was definitely a Confederate.)

Served as a justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court from 1880 to 1888.

He last resided with his daughter  at 347 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, New York.  This is why he was buried in New York.
