Notes:
* All three of John B. Todd's sons living at the time of the war, as well as his son-in-law and eldest nephew served in the Confederate forces;
Elijah enlisted 4 Mar 1862, as a private in Co. F 45th Georgia Volunteers, "the Gray Infantry" (also known as Co B 12th GA Vol), and was eventually appointed Sargent. He died of Gastritis in General Hospital at Camp Winder, Richmond VA 10/3/1863, and was buried in Hollywood Cemetery.
John Mason joined Co B of the 45th Georgia Infantry (Brig. Gen'l Edward Thomas's Brigade) under Wilcox's division. He died from wounds suffered at the battle at Spottsylvania Court House on May 19th, 1864.
Samuel J. Todd had moved to Decatur, Mississippi, just before the war where he worked as a steam engine mechanic. He joined the 2nd Miss Cavalry, but was assigned to special detail in Canton MS for most of the war. He was paroled from hospital after the General Surrender.
* Andrew Jackson Ross' tombstone is inscribed "CSA Co A 7th GA Mil", and his son Edmund Jackson Ross served in B Co. 45th Inf Reg. GA, enlisting 26 February 1862 in the same unit as his Uncle John Mason Todd.
* At the end of the Civil War the surviving family members were scattered, and most lost contact with each other after leaving Jones County. Elijah was dead and his widow disappeared. The youngest Ross children became orphaned the year after the war ended and most stayed in Monroe (later Lamar) County, Georgia. John Mason's orphans were farmed out to different families and moved to Alabama. Samuel only lived three years after the end of the war, and his widow raised their two children in Arkansas.
