A lineal descendant of Zachariah Paddock, branches of whose family, at the Revolutionary era, were to be found in various parts of New England, in New Jersey, and even in South Carolina. In 1749, Adino, the subject of this notice, married Lydia Snelling, by whom he had thirteen children. He settled in Boston, where he manufactured chairs, and transacted his business near the head of Bumstead Place. The elm-trees in Tremont Street were planted by him, and were for years the objects of his care. It is related that, on one occasion, he offered the reward of a guinea for the detection of the person who hacked one or more of them. Nine of Colonel Paddock's children died in infancy; and John, a student at Harvard College, was drowned in Charles River, while bathing, in 1773. He commanded the companies of artillery in Boston, with the rank of Major; and two of the four brass cannon, purchased by order of the Legislature, were kept in a gun-house near his own dwelling. As he was heard to say that de designed to surrender these two pieces to General Gage, a party who desired a far different use to be made of them, dismantled them; and, leaving the carriages, carried them away. Both did good service to the Whigs in the Revolution; and yet preserved, bear the name, one, of "Hancock" and the other of "Adams." The Committee of Safety, February 23, 1775, after he was displaced, voted that Doctor Joseph Warren ascertain how many of the men who had been under his command, could "be depended on...to form an artillery company, when the Constitutional Army of the Province should take the field; and that report be made without loss of time." In March, 1776, Major Paddock embarked for Halifax with the Royal Army, accompanied by his wife, and by Adino, Elizabeth, and Rebecca, his surviving children; and in June of that year, the whole family, his son Adino excepted, sailed for England. In 1778 he was proscribed and banished. From 1781 until his decease he resided on the Isle of Jersey, and for several years held the office of Inspector of Artillery Stores, with the rank of Captain. He died March 25, 1804, aged seventy-six years. Lydia, his wife, died at the Isle of Jersey, in 1781, aged fifty-one. He received a partial compensation for his losses as a Loyalist.
