The Ladson Family of South Carolina and Georgia, 1678-1900


Book Description

One hundred acres were laid out for Francis Ladson, the first Ladson in Carolina, under the terms of a purchase receipt from the Lords Proprietors dated 6 May 1696. No other or more formal grant than the receipt, and the warrant thereupon issued on the same day, appears to have been made, but Francis Ladson evidently took possession and by his will in 1717 left the 100 acres to his 6 children: Francis, Mary (who married Daniel Johnston), Sarah (who married Nathaniel Nichols), Robert, Jacob, and Elizabeth (who married Benjamin Perry). All of the last 5 of these on 27 August 1729 and 28 December 1731 conveyed their interests in the 100 acres to oldest son, Francis, Jr. To this 100 acres, Francis, Jr. added 60 acres of marsh on the river granted to him 21 May 1734, and the 160 acres seems to have passed from Francis, Jr. to his son, Isaac Ladson.
