I am also a direct descendant of Ransom Ladd. I have extensive information on the Ladd and Gaines families.
I have a lot of information on Asa and Amy Ladd. I have Amy (Gaines) family going back many many generations. Asa I have just to his father, Ransom. I am very interested in any information of the men that were executed along with Asa V. Ladd:
JAMES W. GATES, Co H. 3rd Mo, Cavalry, CSA;
HARVEY H. BLACKBURN, Co A, Coleman's regiment, CSA;
JOHN NICHOLS, 2nd Mo. Cavalry, CSA;
CHARLES W. MINNEKEN, Co A, Crabtree's cavalry, CSA;
ASA V. LADD, Burnbridge's regiment, Mo. Cavalty; CSA; and GEORGE F. BUNCH, Co B, 3rd Mo. Cavalry
