Carlos Ladner was born Jan. 23, 1796 and lived on the Gulf Coast. Even at this early date there were many Ladner and Ladnier families in this area. Most of their business was transacted in Mobile, Ala., New Orleans, La., or Pensacola, Fla.. Many of the old records are kept in these areas. Mobile no doubt has the earliest known records as the Archives of the Catholic Church fas records which date back to 1704. Many of the early children born in these Coastal areas were baptised at the Cathedral of the Immaculate conception, Mobile, Ala..
In the year 1798, the Congress of the United States created the territory of Mississippi. A few years later England made one more stab at this area, in hopes of getting control of New Orleans and the great Mississippi River. Carlos Ladner answered the call of duty when Gen. Andrew Jackson ask for volunteers. Dec. 13, 1814, Carlos joined Capt. Joseph Vellio's canpany, 18 Reg't Mississippi territory mil.. We note the remark the great English General Sir Edward M. Pakenham made," He would eat his dinner Jan. 8, 1814 in New Orleans." Meanwhile, Andrew Jackson with a few ill fitted soilders and native people of this area defeated this great Champion who had previously destroyed the Army of Napolean at Waterloo. Carlos held the rank of Corporal. After his discharge from the service he met and married Anna Rester, about 1817. This was the year Mississippi became a Sovereign State. Through this marriage there were fourteen children born. Hancock and adjacent counties has been heme to many of the descendants of this family.
As you drive through the country side of these Coastal counties, you see and pass many old Land marks these families have made.
They are truly seme of the first pioneers in South Mississippi.
Many of these Ladner and Ladnier families have made very high marks in our Society. I am glad to have had the privilege to associate with them.
In times of war men with the Ladner and Ladnier name have served our Country well many have laid down their lives so that their way of life could be preserved. Also their descendant's would have a better place to live and most of all that they would be free.
These families are noted for their ability to farm, raise cattle and sheep. While many are involved in the farming profession, others are Doctor's, Lawyer's, Craftsmans, School teachers, and Statesman.
