Submitted by: Sandra G. **NOTES This is the only Leonard Ladd that I have in my notes but I do not have the 1910 and 1920 census for TN. I am thinking that this is the Leonard Ladd who had the SS# 410-54-3141 and was b. 01-14-1908 and d. Dec. 1968. Anybody got the TN 1910 census? Charles Ladd 1900 Tennessee Soundex Ladd, William P.

The Leonard Ladd in question must be Leonard Earl LADD - a descendant of John C. LADD of Roane County, TN. This information came via Roane County source and I was given only his name as son of Franklin Louis LADD ( - 1930) & Martha Elizabeth "Lizzie" MEAD (1884 - 1935) of Oliver Springs, Roane County, TN w/NFI. Another obit for his wife was sent to me by Cousin Leota Bennett of Roane County and I sent it on to Misty before I noticed that it was also on the mailing list postings.
