The Ancestory of Isabella Todd

Isabella Todd was born about 1803 in New York to James Todd and Ann French. Isabella has 2 known sisters - Susan and Mary. Whilst little is known about the heritage of Isobella's Todd father's line, through her mother Ann, Isobella could trace her heritage back to Charlemagne, King of the Franks and Kenneth MacAlpine 1st King of the Scots.

Through Isabella, we can claim a distant cousinship with the current royal family of England, and - thanks to the extensive royal intermarrying - almost every royal family in Europe.

There are so many famous and infamous personalities we can include in our family tree thanks to Isabella, but in our direct line we can include:

  Kenneth McAlpine - 1st king of Scotland
  William the Conqueror
  Robert Bruce I King of Scotland.
  Robert Stewart and his son Murdoch Stewart - Governers of Scotland
  John Knox - the reformer
  Rev John Welsh of Ayr
  Rev John Witherspoon - signer of the Declaration of Independence

The relationship between our family and the Royal lines is shown below
