v. ANNE CURRY, m. GEORGE ROGERS CLARK TODD.
Notes for GEORGE ROGERS CLARK TODD:
George Rogers Clark Todd was the brother of Mary Todd Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln said of him: “a more rabid secessionist was no where to be found. He was not a good husband to Anne and they lived with her parents until her father, John Rolland Curry, ordered him to leave Cynthiana. Dr. Desha then went to Cynthiana and outfitted Dr. Todd with a horse and funds, and drove with him all of the first night to aid him in making his escape.
He went South and during the Civil War he was an officer and a contract surgeon. He never returned to Cynthiana.
