Brigadier General Robert Todd (April 1754 – March 1814)[1] was an 18th-century American pioneer, politician and soldier. As an officer in the Kentucky militia he took part in the western theater of the American Revolutionary War and the Northwest Indian War. Together with his brothers John Todd and General Levi Todd, he was involved in the early economic and political development of Kentucky prior to its admission into the United States in 1792.[2]
