With a single exception the Todds have all come from the Highlands of Scotland. The original name of the Irish Todds was O'Shauagh, which is Irish for fox. In consequence of an early English Parliament, which compelled the Irish to assume English names, the family changed its name, the Leinster branch taking the name Fox and the northern, Todd, or Wolfson, corrupted into Wilson. It appears from this that a portion of the Irish Todds are of Irish origin. All other Todds are Scotch.
My Daughter, Dawn Michelle, did all of the research on the Todd Family, going back as far as 1430. So far I have only been able to trace our Hawk Family back to 1773.
