Notes for Daniel Ladd:
1860 U.S. Census, Wakulla County FL:
Daniel Ladd 43 M Merchant 20000 100000 Maine E.A. Ladd 36 F Florida George Ladd 9 M Florida Joseph M. Ladd 3 M Florida Ann Cash 55 F Pensylvania John C. Hamlin 24 M Clerk Florida George T. Hamlin 19 M Merchant Maine Edwin Ladd 17 M Merchant Maine
Notes from "The Hamlin Family": He went to Florida, 1833, and accepted a position as clerk in the store of his uncle, John Hamlen, at Magnolia, but afterwards took charge of his uncle's store at Port Leon, on the St Marks river; which town was washed away by the hurricane of 1846. In the following year he settled at Newport, Florida, where he became a prominent business man and leading merchant. A plank road was built from Newport to Thomasville, Georgia, of which he was the principal man. Newport rapidly became the center of business, where he erected a large saw mill, foundry, two hotels, and turpentine works; he owned a steamer which controlled the principal business on the St Marks river. The merchants and planters of middle Florida and southern Georgia purchased their supplies at that period from Newport, and Daniel Ladd controlled the trade. He was a member of the Secession Convention of Florida, 1861, and by his speeches and influence opposed secession and supported the cause of the union. On account of his vast landed interests and many business establishments he remained in the south during the war, and was tendered a high rank in the Confederate army, which he declined on the grounds that he was a northern man, and that his kindred were numerous in New England. His losses by the war aggregated half a million dollars. His mills, foundry, warehouses, etc, at Newport were burned by order of Col Scott, commanding the Union troops, after the surrender of Lee. After the war he continued business at St Marks until his death.
The "Floridian" published the following tribute to his memory: "It is with sincere sorrow that we record the death of this good and true man. For several days he had been suffering a complication of diseases, his system seeming generally to give way, and on the morning of the 22nd last, at his home in Newport, he quietly breathed his last. Few names were more intimately associated with the mercantile interests of middle Florida, and a large portion of southern Georgia, before the war than his, and in everything connected with the welfare and prosperity of the people of Wakulla County, in this state, it was the foremost. For many long years his carried with it the idea of everything that was public spirited, self sacrificing and generous. Indeed, we doubt whether a more generous heart, one more susceptible to all the kindlier emotions of our better nature, ever beat within the breast of man. He was beyond question, one of the very gest men we ever knew, his deeds of charity towards the poor, the distressed and unfortunate being numberless. Notwithstanding the loss of nearly everything by the late war and his own hard struggle to keep himself in business even on a small scale, he seemed to forget his own adverse fortune, and was never satisfied unless helping somebody else along- always ready to share the last crumb of bread with any who asked. In Daniel Ladd we have on of the brightest examples of pure and disinterested friendship and genuine love for his fellow-man that we will ever have presented to us in this too often cold and selfish world-- We close this brief notice with sad hearts, trusting that at no distant day, another pen will do fuller justice to the memory of one whose departure from among us has occasioned such general and heartfelt sorrow. 'Peace to his Ashes'"
Notes from Warren Ladd: When but 16 years old he went to Florida and entered his father's counting-room as clerk, and soon after took charge of the business. After his father's death in 1835 he continued his father's Florida business, and soon became a leading merchant of Middle Florida. He was extensively engaged in the lumbering business, and was the owner of several steam saw-mills and a large iron foundry and machine shop. He was the owner of two steamers, which he employed on the St Marks river, and was a member of the Florida Convention when the State seceded from the Union. The war of the rebellion nearly ruined his business, and when peace came he found himself in much reduced circumstances, but with his usual energy, pluck, and New England push, he worked hard to recover his property and restore his lost fortune, but his health failed.

From "Florida's Hurricane History" by Jay Barnes: On the morning of September 13, 1843, residents of Port Leon awoke to a fresh breeze from the southeast, which gave way to a gale by afternoon. By midnight the wind was of hurricane force, and the entire town was washed over by a "tidal wave", which inundated the area in seven to ten feet of water. Newspaper accounts later exclaimed: "Our city is in ruins!" In his report of the destruction of Port Leon in "Florida Historical Quarterly", historian T. Frederick Davis wrote: "Every warehouse in the town was laid flat with the ground, except that of Hamlin and Snell's, and a part of that also was demolished. Nearly every dwelling was thrown from its foundation and many of them crushed to atoms. The merchants took what precautions they could for protection against high wind and water before the height of the storm, by moving their goods, as they thought, out of danger. But the surging water and furious blasts were irresistible, and the goods in the stores were either destroyed or badly damaged. The store of Daniel Ladd was the least injured of any, although the water there was three feet above the counters; this building had the highest elevation of any in the town. Every dwelling house and store that was not demolished was left in a wretchedly shattered and filthy condition. Miraculously, only one life as lost in Port Leon. The railroad that had brought the city into existence was washed away to a point north of St Marks. All of the warehouses and most of the dwellings in St Marks were also destroyed, but no lives were lost there. All of the resort cottages near the lighthouse below Port Leon were washed away, and "seven white occupants and five negro servants" drowned. After the storm had passed, the dazed citizens of the devastated Port Leon assembled to discuss the fate of their town. Their unanimous decision was to not rebuild but instead relocate to higher ground farther up the St Marks River. They salvaged what they could from the wreckage of their town and found a suitable site on the banks of the river four miles above St Marks. There they established Newport in October 1843. This was not the first or the last time a Florida settlement was removed from the map by a hurricane."

Notes from Warren Ladd: His father, imbued with the New England idea of the value of education, furnished him all the facilities at his command by private instruction, in connection with that of the public schools. He was sent to the seminary at Kent's Hill, Maine, and was after-wards fitted for college by Rev J H Ingraham, a distinguished scholar and divine. Business affairs obliged young Ladd to suspend the pursuit of his studies, and he engaged himself as an apothecary's clerk in his native town. The six years passed in this establishment, at the capital of the State, afforded him excellent opportunities, not only for mental growth, in a general way, but for making the acquaintance of prominent men, and becoming familiar wth the public topics. His capacity for business was early developed, and at the age of 18 he was intrusted with the entire management of an extensive drig and apothecary establishment. Two years later he removed to the city of Bangor, prosecuting the same gusiness there for fifteen years with marked success. Hon Luther Severance, his uncle, the able editor of the Kennebunk journal for a quarter of a century, rendered valuable assistance to him in his business life. Mr Ladd was one of the pioneers of railroad building in Maine, to which he gave much attention.
