Isaac Todd
Isaac Todd (c. 1742 – 1819) was one of Montreal's most prominent merchants following the British Conquest of New France and a founding member of the Beaver Club at Montreal and the Canada Club at London. He was one of the earliest partners in the North West Company before it was formalized, but was better known for his partnership with James McGill. In 1812, he purchased Buncrana Castle, Co. Donegal, which he left to his nephew, William Thornton-Todd, the younger brother of Andrew Todd.
==Early life==
Isaac Todd was born around 1742 into a wealthy merchant family at Coleraine, Co. Londonderry, the son of John Todd and Elizabeth Patterson of Fox Hall, Co. Donegal. The Todds, established members of the local Protestant gentry, had been prospering at Coleraine since at least 1630 and held several valuable land leases from the Earls of Antrim.〔(1630 Muster Rolls of Derry )〕 Isaac Todd spent his early manhood as a merchant in his native Northern Ireland, but after the British Conquest of New France he was quick to seize upon the trade opportunities now available in Canada. He was established in Montreal by 1764, and his ready access to capital and patronage through his family at home no doubt aided his early ventures there. His first cousin, Walter Patterson, was the first Governor of Prince Edward Island from 1769 to 1787.
