This family appears to have had Henrico County Va. antecedents, The same names are found in Goochland and Charles City Counties, Va., and in northern N.C. as early as 1759 and members of his family are found later in Surry and Stokes Co., N.C., which derived from Rowan County. Noble and Amos Ladd were in Surry County, N.C. when it was formed in 1771 but Amos was not listed in the 1772 tax list. Noble died in 1782 and named among others, in his will his grandson Amos Ladd (not true). A younger Noble and other members of the family were living in Stokes Co. in 1880 and also had Halifax Co., Va. connections; they, and the allied Newmans and Sizemores and Goodes helped settle parts of Western Virginia and Kentucky after an earlier move by Ladds to South Carolina. Amos reached Pendleton District by 1790. When William Lynch sold 21 Jan. 1799 to William Sutherland of Rockingham County, N.C. a farm on Oolenoy Creek of Saluda, witness were Amos, Joseph and John Ladd.
