"Nathaniel Ladd, of Haverhill, (son of Daniel1 and Ann Ladd,) was born in Haverhill, March 10th, 1651. When a young man he removed to Exeter, N.H. He ma. July 12th, 1678, Elizabeth, daughter of Hon. John Gilman, of Exeter, N.H., who in 1679 "was appointed by the Crown one of the council for the government of the Province of New Hampshjire under Pres. John Cutts, and Gov. Cranfield [Canfield?], and was later a delegate to the Assembly and Speaker of the House, and was the founder of a family which for 200 years has been among the most distinguised in the annals of the Province and the State.
Nathaniel Ladd thus became, by his marriage, a member of the leading family of that part of New Hampshire. He was implicated in Gove's rebellion against Gov. Cranfield [Canfield?], was arrested, and on Dec. 6th, 1683, "was examined before Barefoot, a judge of the special court for the trial of Gove and his associates, for treason." We find no evidence that his case was ever called for trial.
In the summer of 1690 an expedition was fitted out in Massachusetts, with a contngent form New Hampshire, to protect the more eastern settlements, in which Nathaniel Ladd was one of the volunteers from Exeter, N.H. On the 22nd of Sep. the party landed at Maquoit, near Cape Elizabeth, and soon fell into an ambush, and in the fight which ensued were compelled to retreat to their vessels. These being aground, the Indians made a bold effort to take them, but after a hard fight they were repulsed, with a loss to the English of eight killed and twenty-four wounded. Of the last was Nathaniel Ladd, who died of his wounds at Exeter, N.H., Aug. 11th, 1691.
