.Donald> No Nancy Jane MILLER-MARTIN was marrid to Greatgrandfather
Edward Jr
.Donald> Nancy Janes MILLER's mother was a HARRIS though
.Donald> No record of a marriage to Mary GOODWIN has been
located....the birth index for Putnam Co, OH, list Mary GOODWIN as the
mother, but most of the births list the mother's maiden name
DWLADD> The reason there's no marriage lisc. is because the court hse
burnt
.Donald> which court house, Duane?
DWLADD> Putnam
LUDDSHAR> My dad told me that he did get into trouble by marrying two
women. So there must have been another marriage.
.Janet> Bonnie, what to talk through them?
.Donald> When is that marriage supposed to have taken place, Duane?
DWLADD> donald I'll have to check
LUDDSHAR> I seem to remember something about a fire but also heard
that it wasn't true?
.Bones> I will try Janet.

Edited Ladd Chat Log for 22 June 1999, Part Two of Two

.Janet> I had an interesting experience Sunday. I was looking at this
little book that belonged to Constantine Ladd. Someone had listed his
birthdate, his wife's name, and their five sons and their
.Janet> birthdates, on a little piece of paper sewn into the book.
.Bones> wow... that is really neat
.Janet> One of the sons we never knew about, died between 1850 and
1860 census. The book is dated 1831 in Con's hand.
.Janet> Anyway, this time I looked more closely and saw what I think
is another name.
DWLADD> it was true the entire court hse burnt to the groung that's
why its so difficult to obtain anything
.Janet> Added at another time in another handwriting. I think it says
Constantine Ladd Jr.!
.Janet> Out of the five sons, three lived. I wonder if there was
another son who died young.
.Donald> I shall check with my PUTNAM Co List...Sombody there is sure
to know if that is a fact or not
LUDDSHAR> When was the fire
DWLADD> 1834
.Janet> Con was born in 1812, he didn't have a son (that we knew of)
until 1849.
.Janet> Kind of late to be marrying. I wonder about it. But, how to
find out!? Probably impossible.
.Donald> Then why arent the birth index from 1877 thru 1920, the Death
index and the marage index missing?
DWLADD> because that after the fire
.Donald> 1834, Putnam county was still under under the administration
of Williams county....are you certain that it wasn't that courthouse
that burnt?
.Janet> If there was another son, he was probably born and died
between 1840 and 1850. But I wonder why he wasn't included to begin
with. Another marriage maybe? Earlier?
.Bones> could be.. that is really interesting
.Janet> Another part of the puzzle!
.Donald> That would account the missing information from 1820 when
Putnam Co was organized unbtil 1837 when they started to administrate
themselves
DWLADD> i may be wrong on the dates but when i was there trying to get
info on deaths & births I asked why they were missing , and was told
that do to the fire they were gonecouldn't find 7
LUDDSHAR> I wonder if there may have been some newspaper articles
about his trouble with the law and his two wives.
DWLADD> In 1855 Milley applied for a Land grant for Ellison serving in
the War of 1812 & I have a copy of that.
LUDDSHAR> That mingt give you a clue as to who the other wife was
.Donald> OK Duane, if they said that is what happened, it must have
been when the county seat was in Kalida
LUDDSHAR> Donald, i think your'e right, I seem to remember something
about Kalida
DWLADD> Yes that is the case, I assumed you knew that, sorry
LUDDSHAR> BRB
DWLADD> Milly appliled for Bounty Lands as they were called. BRB?
.Donald> I did, Duane, just slipped my mind....I didn't know that a
fire was the cause of the move from Kalida to Ottawa
.Donald> Duane, sharon will "Be Right Back" BRB
DWLADD> I forget all the particulars but politics played a large part
.Donald> That is what I was thinking was the reason
.Donald> Have you ever researched the Williams Co. records for Putnam
Co folks?
DWLADD> Ottawa was more in the center of the county and so on
.Donald> I was told that the main records there concerned the tax
rolls
LUDDSHAR> I'm back
DWLADD> No - always wanted to but never made it
DWLADD> My oldest daughter graduated from BG & I always wanted to go
to there library
.Donald> Ed, aka Ned, and Mary had children in 1860/70s so that would
be after the fire, so there should be a record, maybe in one of the
adjacent counties, Like Allen, Van Wert or Paulding
DWLADD> I looked in Paulding & found some Ladd's ther but not the ones
I needeed
.Donald> all of their children were not indexed in Putnam Co either
LUDDSHAR> I belive my dad was b. in Williams Co. but registered in
Ottawa, or something like that
.Donald> Sharon was your father born in Bryan?
LUDDSHAR> Let me look
DWLADD> Sharon who is your father?
.Donald> There is a Dennis LADD that lives in Bryan now. He hasn't
answered my messages
.Donald> I forgot his line, but was in amongst ours somewhere
 LUDDSHAR> Irvin Ladd was born SE of Grover Hill, Van Wert,
LUDDSHAR> Then I have Putnam County after that
LUDDSHAR> I thought Van Wert was in Van Wert Co.
.Donald> That would be Van Wert Co not Williams
LUDDSHAR> My father is Irvin Harold Ladd. He will be 94 in oct
.Donald> My Dad would have been 92 this june 10
LUDDSHAR> Right. I did at least remember that it was another county
LUDDSHAR> My brother was born in Williams Co.
.Donald> Some of Ed Sr [Ned] children ended up in Paulding Co
 LUDDSHAR> Some are in Michigan
LUDDSHAR> Clyde Benson ladd family went to Michigan
.Donald> Ed Jr only had 2 sons to grow to maturity, Jefferson and my
Grandfather Charles Edward
DWLADD> There's far more in Mich than in Paulding
LUDDSHAR> There are lots of James Walter Ladd's up there too (our
clan)'
DWLADD> Andrew Jackson went there & is buried in the Mount Holly Cem.
along with other Ladd's
DWLADD> luddshar correction Mt Hope CEm- Jonesville Mich.
.Donald> Duane, your saying Mount Holly cem in Michigan?
DWLADD> no Mount Hope
.Donald> I have been thru Jonesville MI on the way to Jackson where my
aunt Metta and uncle Carl Bowerman lived befor they moved to Michigan
Center
DWLADD> the following are buried there-clyde B, Wilbur,LeRoy, Leck,
Clyde,Melvin, Charles & BEnson
.Donald> And which Charles would that be? seems to have been a popular
name for the LADDs back then
DWLADD> Its about a mile n. of jonesville & about 3/4 mi from Andrew's
Home
DWLADD> That would be Charles F. 1899 to 1962
LUDDSHAR> If you are talking about the Charles F. Ladd (my uncle), His
name is Charley Franklin Ladd, not charles
 DWLADD> Luddshar was he married to a Clara
LUDDSHAR> His grave stone says Charles, which is wrong
LUDDSHAR> No (1) Elsie Brown (2) mary jackson (3) Hesta Broscik (4)
Ann Kegebien (5) Patricia jackson
.Donald> My Grandfather is birth indexed as Edward, I don't know when
the Charles was added , but that is what his stone reads
LUDDSHAR> Oh! Sorry. Your talking about your Charles
.Donald> Mom said that he went by Ed also
.Donald> no Sharon you are right we were talking about Charles F in Mt
Hope cem, Jonesville MI
LUDDSHAR> OK
.Donald> Duane what dates are on Charles F's stone?
DWLADD> 1899-1962
.Donald> Does that match with your Charley Franklin, Sharon?
LUDDSHAR> No, He died and is buried in Texas
