Ladd Family History

Daniel Ladd (1614 – 1693) (Nathaniel/Margaret Denwood) was born in Kent Co, England. He immigrated to the US in 1634 arriving on the John and Mary.  He first came to Ipswich (granted 6 acres in 1637) then moved to Salisbury (sold land in Ipswich to Kingsbury) in March 1638 (granted 8 acres in October 1639).  In the early spring of 1644, he joined a group of men, under the leadership of Rev John Ward, consisted of Daniel Ladd, William White, Samuel Gile, James Davis, Henry Palmer, John Robinson, Christopher Hussey, John Williams, Richard Littlehale, Abraham Tyler, and Job Clement, and moved westward looking for unclaimed land. They formed a town site 50 miles west where the Spicket River emptied into the Merrimac River and named it Haverhill, Essex Co, MA. Each received 10 acres within the town and 100 acres of surrounding area. He moved to Haverhill in 1645 after selling his property in Salisbury.  (Famous Ladds)

                2. George Edgar Ladd (1864 – 1940) Quoted with some modifications from “The Descent of George Edgar Ladd,” p. 39-41: George Edgar Ladd graduated from Harvard with an AB in 1887 and an AM in 1889 having specialized in geology. He initially served as an assistant geologist in the State Geological Survey in Austin, Texas, then went to Jefferson City, Missouri, to participate similarly in the State Geological Survey of Missouri. He served as assistant in geology at Harvard, 1892-4, receiving his Ph. D. in the latter year, during which time he superintended the assembly and display of the Massachusetts mineral and stone exhibit at the Chicago World Fair, 1893. In February 1896 he became chemist for the Georgia Geological Survey at Atlanta, its assistant geologist in April 1896, and in September 1897 he became director and professor of mines and metallurgy (later mining) of the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy at Rolla [Now the University of Missouri at Rolla]. Here began a decade of glorious accomplishment, violent controversy, and enormous frustrations, a decade of adulation from friends and of detraction and unrelenting opposition from entrenched enemies. He has left his own account of the matter, including “Against great and unscrupulous opposition I changed a moribund, thirty-year-old country academy of only local importance, into one of the finest technical institutions in America.” By 1907 he had enough of politics and controversy, and resigned to engage in mining. This not proving successful, he became in 1908 the first president of what was then the Oklahoma School of Mines [now Eastern Oklahoma State College] at Wilburton, which he “built from the ground up.” Here, too, he encountered political interference and graft “on a huge scale” and in 1913 was forced by “intolerable conditions.. .to jump ‘out of the frying pan into the fire”‘. He accepted the presidency of the New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts [now New Mexico State University] near Las Cruces. “There, more of the same, but worse. Four years of it. Whew!” In 1917 he became an economic geologist for the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads in Washington, D. C., serving until his retirement in 1937, and lecturing simultaneously on engineering geology at the University of Maryland from 1921. Quite aside from his career in administration, his professional achievements were substantial. He made a specialty of clays and did important work also on building stone and on quarrying (7); he became the world authority on landslides, subsidence’s, rock-falls and fill-failures as related to engineering. He has been called the Father of Soil Dynamics as a result of his 1898 paper on geological phenomena resulting from the surface tension of water. (famous ladds)
