SPECIAL PRESENTATION
- The Hanging of Elizabeth Emerson - On April 10, 1686, Elizabeth Emerson,
unmarried, gave birth to Dorothy of whom no further record had been located. The father was
Samuel Ladd, then 37, who was married to Martha (Corlis) Ladd, mother of six children.
Elizabeth was 23 at the birth of Dorothy and at 28 she again gave birth, this time to two boys
who did not survive. Again the father was Samuel Ladd, then 42. Whatever else may be thought
of Elizabeth, she was not promiscuous. - Submitted by: Jeffrey C. Rehm
