    Notes 
    • At the time his father was killed by the Indians, he was captured by them. Chase, in his History of Haverhill, gives an account of his capture, from which we make the following synopsis: "Samuel Ladd was killed by the Indians at Haverhill, Feb. 22, 1698, and his son Daniel taken prisoner and and carried to Penacook, NH. Soon after reaching Penacook young Ladd made an attempt to escape. He left the wigwam when all were asleep, and had gone but a short distance when it occurred to him that a hatchet might be needed. He returned, and entered the wigwam where a squaw was sick. She noticed him, gave an alarm, awakened the other Indians, and he was recaptured. His hands were bound and he was laid upon his back, with one foot fastened to a tree. In this condition he was kept 14 days. As soon as he was bound, his face was gashed, powder was inserted into the wounds, and remained there until it became so indented in his flesh that it was impossible to remove it. The dark spots never left his face, and he was often referred to by his descendants as the "marked man". Some years after his capture he escaped and returned to Haverhill.
