I thought that Henry Todd who married Abigail Beadle was the son of "Nivel" Todd. After searching 1850 through 1880 census records his name looks more to be Wivel Todd.
The 1850 census has his name indexed as "Wetherl" Todd, but the actual census looks more as "Wetherly" Todd with wife Mary.
The 1860 census has him indexed as "Wail" Todd, but the actual census looks more as "Wyvil" Todd (or Nyvil Todd).
The 1870 census on checking it again (which is indexed as
"Wivel") is "Wivel" Todd with wife Mary. The "W" of his name and the "M" of her name look very similar.
In the 1880 census his is indexed as B.W. Todd and wife Mary which is what they are on the actual written census.
