Adell's birth date is based on her age of 12 in 1870 Hermon census. Censuses had other spellings of her first name, Adele and Adelia. She left a daughter, Ethel Grant, at her death; this information as well as her husband's name and death date came from a Petition for Judicial Settlement of the Estate of Lyman Ladd on 27 Jan 1913 signed by Spencer Ladd. Parents: Lyman LADD and Julia C PHELPS. Spouse: Charles Frederick FORDHAM. Charles Frederick FORDHAM and Adell M LADD were married on 21 Dec 1884. Children were: Ethel J FORDHAM. Azro A LADD was born in Oct 1850 in Parishville, NY. He died on 5 Sep 1915 in Ogdensburg, NY. He was buried on 8 Sep 1915 in Hermon, NY Cemetery. From The Courier in Hermon, NY dated 8 May 1889: "Those who have young stock to put out to pasture during the coming season should call S. H. or A. A. Ladd. Pasture within six miles of village." In the 1900 Town of Hermon census, dwelling 286 and family 297, Azro's name is spelled as Asrorl, and it says they were married for 30 years. Azro was likely born in Parishville, NY where his parents lived in the 1850 census, but his obituary says that he was born in Hermon, NY. His mother's obituary says that the family came to Hermon in 1853; he was born in 1850. The Ogdensburg Advance and St. Lawrence Weekly Democrat reported on 4 October 1906 under Hermon news: "Azro Ladd has sold his three year old colt to James Walmsley for $100." Azro died at the Ogdensburg City Hospital; the Ogdensburg Journal of 8 September 1915 on page 6 gives his name in error as Ezro Todd (the handwriting of those days caused many errors). On 8 September 1915, the Gouverneur Free Press gave this obituary for Azro on page 2: "AZRO LADD Old Resident of Hermon Who Passed Away in the Ogdensburg Hospital Saturday Azro Ladd, a lifelong resident of Hermon died in the Ogdensburg City Hospital Saturday after a week's illness, aged 66 years. Mr. Ladd had been at Bigelow and was taken ill there. He decided to go to the hospital for treatment and his relatives and friends in the vicinity heard no more from him until Monday forenoon when his son was notified of his death. Mr. Ladd was born in Hermon, a son of Lyman and Julia Fenton (note: her last name was Phelps not Fenton) Ladd and practically his entire life was spent there where he followed various callings. Besides his widow he is survived by two sons, Eugene Ladd, a well known farmer of the Scotch Settlement district of this town and Ernest Ladd of Hermon; a brother Spencer Ladd and a sister, Miss Chloe Ladd both of Hermon. The body was taken from Ogdensburg to Hermon by Undertaker Frank W. Sprague of this village yesterday forenoon, and the funeral services were conducted from the Baptist Church there at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Burial was made in the Hermon Cemetery."

There is likely not correct because she would have been born less than 8 months after Spencer. Her tombstone says she was born in 1847; this agrees with her being 12 in the 1 August 1860 Hermon census. Her children, Lora and Edwin, were living with her father at the time of the 1880 Hermon census. Parents: Lyman LADD and Julia C PHELPS. Spouse: RICHARDSON.

Eugene's age at death was 7y 4m 21d per his tombstone; therefore, his calculated birth date is 18 Nov 1851. His tombstone says he was born in 1852. An article from the Virginia Gazette (Williamsburg, VA) newspaper published on Wednesday, April 20, 1859 (p. 3, c. 1): "Died - Two boys in Hermon Village, N.Y. on Friday, April 8 from eating what is called a muskrat root.
