I too need help with locating the early TODD/LEMON farm in Killacronaghan or Killycronaghan, in between Killeevan and Smithborough, County Monaghan, No Ire. My interest lies in the early TODD lineage, proof, and sources to sort out the various County Down TODD lines, and to find the missing very early cemetery [not in Prof. Richard S. Jessup Clarke's excellent 21 volume Gravestone Inscriptions series]. Reverend Samuel A. AGNEW of Bethany, Lee Co., Mississippi wrote of this TODD/LEMON farm in his letters and papers preserved in the Kentucky Historical Society, Frankfort, Kentucky, USA. One of Rev. Agnew's letters, dated 7 Feb 1898 was addressed to E.T. Helm [Emily TODD Helm] of Elizabethtown, KY.
In this important letter he carefully writes: "Andrew TODD was married twice: first to Sidney WEST, then to Mary SIMPSON. He had children by both wives. His eldest son by his first wife, John TODD was killed at the battle of Waterloo in 1815. His daughter Mary married a LEMON and remained in Ireland when her father with the remaining children came to America. She lived on the place that was occupied by her grandfather and father and it is still occupied by her son, William LEMON, who if alive is now a very old man. It is in Killachronaghan Townland, not far from Smithsboro in Co. Monaghan. By his last wife Andrew had Samuel Rutherford born in 1807, Letitia Simpson born 1809 and Margaret Isabelle [or Isabella] born in 1811. My mother, Letitia Simpson Todd married Dr. Enoch AGNEW in 1832 and died Feb 28 1879 in Union Co. Miss and is buried in Bethany burial ground in Lee Co., Miss." [quickly transcribed in part, today from copy of original obtained, 2008, from Emily Todd Helm file at Ky His Soc.]
This TODD heritage is very important to either align or distinguish away from the early TODD family of Toddstown1 (a townland's nickname) and Toddstown2 (a farm near Ballynasveagh & Glaskerbeg East)- both in County Down, No Ire. I am in need of specifics for an upcoming trip to repositories in County Down, as to where to find answers to the early, say 1580s-1860, Presbyterian TODD lines. I am hoping that living ancestors still live on this TODD/LEMON farm, and at Toddstown1 and Toddstown2, and have answers in a shoebox. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any clues.
