Since I wrote last I have found this:Ladners
come from Swiss Canton Graubunden. 1400 peasants from Laden in southernmost part of Canton Vallis were recruited to work in the
iron mines in Seewis and called Ladners because of the town they were from. Christian
b1699 was the first over,he had sons Jean Baptiste, Maturin, Nicholas b 1728.I will review and see if I find Arthur but he would
not have been from original Nicholas -must be
from a later one.If I find him I will write
again.These all settled on the Gulf Coast of Miss. and most remained in this area. I saw there were some from Cornwall England, but Nicholas is one of Christian's line.You can see entire line on Http://www.pearl
