  • Notes: 

  • The transcribed Coventry vital records gives the death date of Nathaniel Ladd as 11 JAN 1757. However his tombstone clearly lists the date as 11 JUN 1757. The date in the vital records was probably copied incorrectly from the original records. If possible, the original record should be inspected.
