LAOD, William, philanthropist, was born at Exeter, N.H., May 10, 1778. He was graduated from Harvard, in 1797, and shipped on one of his father's vessels as a common seaman and .soon became one of the most successful of his father's captains, subsequently commanding vessels own- ed jointly by himself and brothers. In 1801 lie made a trip to Florida, having conceived the idea of undermining slavery by the introduction of free white laborers. This experiment was en- couraged by the Spanish governor of the prov- ince, who offered a piece of land to every laborer introduced. Mr. Ladd transported a number of Dutch immigrants, who were redemptioners, from Philadelphia, but the project failed and was abandoned in 1806. He returned to Portsmouth, and once more followed the sea with much suc- cess, until the business was stopped by the war of 1812, when he retired to Minot, Maine, and de- voted himself to agricultural pursuits. He was instrumental in the organization of the American Peace society in 1828, and for several years sus- tained it, almost alone. Finding it diflficult to collect an audience during the week, he obtained from an association of Congregational ministers in Maine a commission as a preacher of the gospel, for the purpose of facilitating his labors in the cause of peace. He edited the Friend of Peace established by Dr. Noah Worcester, and the Harbinger of Peace which succeeded it as the official organ of the society. He published an Address to the Peace Society of Maine (1824); Ad- dress to the Peace Society of Massachusetts (1825); An Essay on the Congress of Nations (1840). He died in Portsmouth, N.H., April 9, 1841.
