Notes from Carlton Ladd House, 11 Plymouth Ave, Buffalo, NY web page by Christopher Brown: Carlton Ladd: Carlton Ladd (born 3/1848 - died 1907) moved to Buffalo when he was a young man and worked in a grocery business with his older brother James S. (born 1835). Ladd was born in New York State, his father born in Vermont and mother in New York State. Later, Carlton Ladd was a superintendent with the Watson Grain Elevator for many years. Ladd in his younger days was also a fireman, joining the Liberty Hose Company (a volunteer Buffalo fire company) about 1872. Ladd was a prominent Republican of the 21st Ward. Mayor Knight appointed him examiner of election inspectors and he was for many years a familiar figure in the civic history of Buffalo. Carlton married Mary (Margerette) about 1880 and had 4 children but only Margaret (born September, 1898) survived. Mary was born in New York State in March, 1862 but came from Irish lineage as both her mother and father were born in Ireland. Before they moved to 11 Plymouth Avenue in 1888, they lived at 295 Hudson Street at the southwest corner of Cottage Street; later they moved to West Ave. The Ladd family lived at 11 Plymouth Avenue for about 15 years. Carlton Ladd passed away in 1907. After his death, it appears his widow, Mary, lived at 24 Plymouth Avenue.
