Hi Oma,
According to Andrew Mellick's book "The Story of an Old Farm", we know that John Melick m 16 Dec 1781 Mary Todd, of Hunterdon Co NJ. We also are told that John's sister, Catherine Melick, m 2 Jan 1786 James Todd, b abt 1765, d 13 March 1840; he was the son of John Todd a Scotch-Irishman who about 1749, when some 20 years old, emigrated to America from Longford, Ireland, with David, a younger brother. David married a dau of John King.
Now, knowing that siblings of one family often married siblings, of another family, might one guess that John's wife Mary Todd, and Catherine's husband James Todd, may have been siblings? This would suggest that Mary Todd may also have been a dau of the afore-mentioned John Todd (bc1729).
What do you think? Several researchers believe that John Melick (A24 in SOF, b1753) was not the son of Philip Melick and Maria King, and that he married Eleanor Todd, not Mary Todd. The son of Philip and Maria was John Malick, who married Mary Todd, and they moved to Hampton Co VA/WVA. Go to GenForum/Todd and search on Melick; there are 4 or 5 messages there that might interest you.
