Person:Nathaniel Ladd (2)

From Warren Ladd: "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 Chales Hilton as his sureties, in L100 for his good behavior and for his appearance at court when called for to answer to the charge of treason.'" In 1690 he was on an expedition to protect settlements from Indians and "On the 22nd 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., August 11th, 1691."
