Subject: Re: Ladson From: Linda McNish Date: March 08, 2000 I show his parents as Benjamin Ladson, b. Apr 13, 1752 and Mary Unknown and that he had a sister Elizabeth Ann who married Daniel C. Webb. Benjamin Ladson's parents were Benjamin Ladson and Elizabeth Perry who were married Mar 19, 1748/49 in Stono, SC. His parents: Samuel Ladson and Elizabeth Toomer. His parents: John Ladson, b. 1660 and Mary Stanyarne. John Ladson had a brother Francis Ladson from whom my husband descends. This information came from two sources--the more recent from Jean-Benedict de Saussure who was a frequent contributor to the Huguenot list, and the earlier information from: Fishburne, Henry Gordon, "The Ladson Family of South Carolina and Georgia 1678-1900" The Reprint Company, Publishers. Spartanburg, SC 1995., 12, Francis Ladson, planter, arrived in South Carolina before 2 November 1678. The record of his brother John provides the information that they came from Northhamptonshire in England. The record of John indicates that he came to Carolina by way of the Barbadoes Islands and we assume Francis did also. Francis received a warrant from the Lords Proprietors of Carolina on 2 November 1678 for one hundred acres of land on the Ashley River. He received a warrant for another one hundred acres of land on 6 May 1696. This land was just west of Magnolia and lying on the Ashley River. By way of his will in 1717 he devised this land to his six children. He also received a warrant for two hundred acres of land in Berkeley County 21 November 1707. The information about his will and the names of his six children appeared in "South Carolina Historical Magazine" 20:97. Resource: SCHM 20:97; Salley and Olsberg, "Warrants for Lands" pp. 185, 548, 639; "First Settlers of South Carolina" Hope this helps. Linda Cox McNish ----- Original Message ----- From: Lynn S.
