Todd, John W. Born in Mercer county, Pennsylvania, June 11, 1825. When twelve
years of age his parents moved to Ripley county, Indiana; thence to Rush county.
Here he received his primary education, and in 1844, after a residence of seven
years, moved to Lee county, Iowa, where he engaged in farming upon his own
account in 1850, after serving his parents to the twenty-fifth year of his age.
In 1864 he emigrated to California, via Panama, arriving in San Francisco on
