An unusual note about Lt. Timothy Ladd on pages 240 and 241 of the History of Dunbarton, by Caleb Stark, 1860:  "Lieut. Timothy Ladd was a worthy man, but unfortunate in the circumstances of having several of his family deranged."  I have no idea what the rest of this story may be, but it sounds interesting!
