Bruner LDS 929.273 B512
4, 7 1700 Huldah Binford, Merchant's Hope married William Ladd. Hinshaw's Encyclopedia of Quaker
Genealogy vol. VI p. 158
Huldah belonged, in 1700, to Merchant's Hope (Binford's) Meeting, in present Prince George County
(taken from that part of Charles City County lying south of the James River in 1702). On June 3, 1753,
the widow Huldah B. Ladd, a membert of Wainoke Meeting, suffered the seizure of two cows for failure to
pay the parish tithe. On September 1, 1753, she held a Friends meeting in her home in Charles City
County. It is believed that the father of Huldah was Anthony Binford of Lower Norfolk Co. (now City of
Chesapeake) and that her brother was James Anthony.
Huldah married William Laddon 18 Jun 1700 in Charles City Co, VA. William was born in Aug 1679 in Curles, Henrico Co, VA. He died on 27 Nov 1751 in Wainoak, VA.
"Virginia Quaker Stanleys and Descendants" quotes a "testamonial from Friends in Virginia concerning
William Ladd (son of John) read at the Virginia Yearly Meeting on 9 May 1761: "William Ladd, son of
John and Mary Ladd, both from old England, was born near Curles (Henrico County) in Virginia, in the
sixth month 1679." That book also lists John and Mary's children as Amos, Sarah, Racell, Elizabeth, and
William.
William Ladd, 1679-1751, son of John, of Charles City co, VA, married in 1701 Huldah Binford, whose
father Anthony Binford was also one of the early settlers in VA. They had four children who married. 500
acres of land were granted to William Ladd on the north side of the James river, in the fork of Beaver
Dam Creek, in Henrico co, Virginia, June 16, 1714.
The remainder of the testimonial quoted above tells more about William "... about the time of his
marriage he removed to Wainoak, became a member of that meeting, and resided there the remainder of
his days. He had an acceptable gift in the ministry, and was a great sufferer for bearing a testimony
against the hireling ministers. In one instance, a very exorbitant seizure was made upon his effects, yet
he lived to see the officer who made it, reduced to such low circumstances, that he charitably contributed
to supply his necessities. He continued a faithful sufferer to the end of his days, encouraging his children
to faithfulness saying: 'The truth is more to me than my all in this world.' The night of his decease, one of
the family saying: 'This was to be a night of great sorrow to them,' he replied 'It was a night of great joy to
him' which was one of the last of his expressions. He died 27th of the ninth month, 1751, and was buried
in the family bury-ing-ground near his own house, aged seventy-two, and a minister about 25 years."
The minutes of Henrico Monthly Meeting from 1726 to 1779 include several references to John,
William and James, Amos, Thomas, and Huldah each being fined on various dates and having
household goods, a slave, animals, boots, pewter, and tobacco seized for refusal to pay tithes, priest's
wages, and militia fines, and refusal to bear arms. In 1811 Benjamin H, Benjamin W and Robert had
money, sheep and corn taken for refusal to muster; and again in 1815 they had seized corn, a horse, and
a copper kettle "for not repairing to place of rendevous on a notice in 1813."
"A Collection of Memorials Concerning the People called Quakers" in a brief chapter on William I,
noted he was the son of John & Mary Ladd, both born in England.

m: disowned by the Cedar Creek Meeting because married out of unity.
To the Quakers, correct conduct according to their faith was a serious matter to be
taken into their daily lives. Church rules and disciplin were strictly maintained. A
marriage involved the church. The parties had to first declare their intentions at a
monthly meeting. A committee was appointed to investigate the clearness of the
parties and report at the next monthly meeting. If a Quaker married a non-member, he
was said to have married out of unity, for which he or she was disowned. Complaint
was made against members for unseemly conduct, dressing too gailey, swearing, lying,
frivolous talk, military service, gambling, drinking, not paying debts, holding slaves,
absence from church, fighting and for more serious offenses. For any of these, he
might be disowned. A member was not allowed to go to Law without the consent of the
meeting. The church appointed a committee to visit the erring member to help him see
the error of his way. A disowned member ceased to exist as far as the church was
concerned. Often parents did not allow a disowned heir to inherit. per Hutchins Family
by Hutchins.
