About Nathaniel Ladd

https://mikenh.wordpress.com/2010/02/08/marker-161-ladd-gilman-house/

Nathaniel Ladd was born in Haverhill MA in the 1650s, married Elizabeth Gilman and eventually settled in Exeter. He managed to get into a bit of trouble in 1683 when he took part in Gove’s rebellion. Many were angry at provincial Governor who had dissolved the assemblies elected by the people to appoint his own guys. Ladd and 11 others (probably fortified with spirits) rode from Exeter to Hampton with guns and sword at the ready. They were all arrested except Ladd who managed to escape and went into hiding for a while. Nathaniel Ladd would meet an early death participating in a raid on the Indian settlement at Casco Bay in 1691. His eldest son, Nathaniel II would build what is today the Ladd-Gilman House.


The Ladd Family, Warren Ladd, 1890 p 13

"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 Hampshire under Pres. John Cutts and Gov. Cranfield, 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 distinguished 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. 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, and entered into recognizance, with William and Charles Hilton as his sureties, in £100 for his good behavior and for his appearance at court when called for to answer to the charge of 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 contingent from New Hampshire, to protect the more eastern settlements, in which Nathaniel Ladd was one of the volunteers from Exeter, N. H. On the 22d of September 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. llth, 1691."
