There are a lot of Ladd's there..... this deed was in Book 56, Page 81, May 1855 John Shotwell, Alfred Shotwell, Julia Jones, wife of James Jones(have lots of info on this one) and a Sally Moore wife of Stephen Moore, Richard Shotwell, and Rita Shotwell selling land on Aaron Creek adjoining the lands of Obediah Overbey's Estate. Think this would have been land from Will of John Shotwell, but don't have a copy of his will.....
