Not seeing a thread to add this to, I thought a thread just for links to off-site images would be nice.


Joseph Jackson Todd
October 4th, 1816 - February 25, 1901 - aged 84.
Enlisted at age 44 as Sergeant, Company G, 10th South Carolina Infantry
Buried at Bethlehem Baptist church in Conway SC

My favorite thing about "Ole Joe" was that he named his first child born after the war in 1866 "Ulysses Grant Todd." While Grant was respected in the South, (in 66 at least), I think it was Joe's way of saying "I'm reconstructed - now leave me alone!"

The image, unfortunately, is a photo of a photo of a photo. I never saw the original nor do I know where it is.

Re: Image Links

Great image! Of key note for me is the frock he is wearing is indicative of Hagood's Eutaw Regiment of Volunteers. The same frock with it's distinctive tape(?) on the collar is visible in several images of other units that made up the regiment. See Izlar's Edisto Rifles. Do you know who has this image (the copy, not the original) and if I could get/make a copy for personal research?

Re: Image Links

It may be in the possesion of a Dennis Todd, but I have no contact for him. He may just have a photo of it like I do

My 8x10 copy is still packed somewhere. It has more of the bottom of the image included. The image was touched up in the usual manner; painted trim, gold on the buttons, etc.
