1810 Census Index lists 2 John Ladds

Montgomery County Page 088 01011 01 and second number indicates male child between 10-16 whi ch is consistent with Thomas Colby.
Schohairie County Page 085 11010 20.

Montgomery County Ladd is shown as Amsterdam in 1820. No John Ladd in 1830 census in Mont. Ct y.

from "Genealogical Record of Adjutant General (of state of Maine)
Samuel Greenleaf Ladd and Carolin de Olivier Ladd"
by Horatio Oliver Ladd, S.T.D. catalogue no. APV p.v.65 in NY Public
Library published in 1927.

note: a John Ladder is listed in Mont. Cty. , Caughnawaga Town, in 1790 census with 1 FWM 0ve r 16; 7, FWM Under 1; 2 FWF. P. 104
Dustin Ladd P.187 Washington Co. Argyle Town.

All of which is not relevant now that we know the Ladds came from Caledonia County in Vermont !!! He is found in both the 1800 and 1790 census. It is worthwhile to note that Caledonia Cou nty used to be part of Orange County prior to 1800!!! 1772 list of heads of households does n ot show John in St. Johnsbury Twp. where he resides in 1790 and 1800. in the 1800 census hi s household consists of 1 FWM under 10 (Thomas Colby Ladd would be 4 or 5 months old); 2 FW M between 10 and 16;3FWM between 16 and 26;1FWM over 45;1FWF under 10 and finally 1 FWF ove r 45. Certainly establishes John's birthdate as at least prior to 1755!!! The 1790 census sho ws 2 FWM over 16;2 FWM under 16 and 3 FWF.

John's death date from tombstone in Sutton, VT Cemetery. Stone is lying down next to his wife 's (Dolly) tombstone.

As a matter of interest there is an Ezekel Colby in St. Johnsbury in 1790 with himself an d 2 FWFs. There are also several Colbys in Newbury Town, Orange County.

The final difinitive information comes from Warren Ladd's 1890 compilation of the Ladd Families which gives us birthdate and place. NH not Vermont!!!!
