One family line that is on BOTH my and my wife's lineage is the Todd one. Mine are from early 1800 southeast Georgia, from Charleston, then from northern Ireland. We have no info before that. My grandmother always claimed a link to Mary Todd Lincoln (wife of Abraham), but that is HIGHLY unlikely.

As the Todds are undoubtably Celtic in origin (the name means "fox") and seems to be from more than one clan, as it may have been a nickname for a red headed one (fox colored), yet are associated with several clans.

Are there any other Todds on this forum that would be interested in having a Todd tartan created? If one exists, I have not found it. I would make one, but would need to spread out the costs to make it affordable for me. Otherwise, it is a no-go idea.

What would appropriate colors for a "fox" tartan? I'm thinking either an orange or a "ancient red" as a prodominant color.

Any thoughts?
