Her dau Rebecca Plumer married Daniel Watson Ladd, Sr. in 1820. Daniel Watson Ladd, Sr. ("without father or mother at six years of age") was raised by his aunt and uncle Watson at "Plummerville" in Epping. (Exeter News-Letter, July 17, 1941.) [In fact, it appears that only his mother, Dorothy/Dolly (Smith) Ladd died in Dec. 1798 (when son was age 6 months). His father, Nathaniel Ladd, lived until 1818 or 1820, dying in Trinidad (as per Ancestry.com)]

DWL Sr. and Rebecca P. Ladd had the following children:

-Daniel Watson Ladd (1821 – 1886)

-Lydia Watson Ladd (1827 – 1904)
-Samuel Plumer Ladd (1829 – 1884)

According to the Epping Historical Society: "She is described by William Plumer as a woman of sound judgement with a sprightly imagination, good tempered and with a benevolent disposition. Active and industrious, she was a "stranger to discrimination" She spoke from her heart, open and frank. She died with great fortitude of consumption."
