Thank you for posting names and the siblings of David Low TODD/TOD who removed to Opelousas, Louisiana.

Papers of JOHN TOD (1779-1830) of Bedford, Pennsylvania,
Judge, and Member of Congress 1821-1824
"Judge Tod's career as a legislator began while Lancaster was still the Capital City of Pennsylvania; it took him to the new Capital at Harrisburg in 1812, and ot the national Capital, Washington, D. C., in 1821. His later experiences in the judiciary and his profession as a lawyer made him conversant with many parts of Pennsylvania and with eminent contemporaries: bankers, lawyers, assemblymen, congressment in many areas of the commonwealth. He remained all the while in close touch with memebers of his fmaily: with his father David Tod; his sister Isabella Stewart (wife of James Stewart, a New York merchant); his brother George Tod, a legislator in Ohio; his brother DAVID L. TOD in Opelousas, Louisiana; his more widely roving brother Samuel".
