Zechariah Paddock

• Province of Massachusetts Bay

Zechariah Paddock, born in 1728 in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, emerges in the record as a New England craftsman and family patriarch whose life carried him to Middletown, Connecticut, where he died in 1800 at the age of seventy-two. His memorial at Mortimer Cemetery preserves both the plainspoken epitaph of an eighteenth-century New Englander and the long list of children he and his wife Hannah Smith Paddock raised, a family whose names trace the movement of Paddock descendants across Connecticut and beyond. - AsNotedIn
