Reuben PADDOCK and Rebecca HAND were married.³¹⁰ There does not appear to be any proof of this marriage. But assumptions and assertions of other genealogists - and the supporting information of Ruben's birth. Mayflower Families Through Five Generation, Vol 16 - John Alden, p 618:
Reuben Paddock was born at Yarmouth, 27 December 1707 bp East Yarmouth Church, 11 August 1728 (Paddock Gen, 56) He possibly married at Yarmouth, REBECCA HAND. No marriage record has been bound on Cape Cod and Hand is not a Cape family name. There was a Hand family on Long Island, but no connection has beeh found to the family.... The Nauvoo Baptisms for the Dead in the Mississippi River for September 1840 show that Keziah (Paddock) Hendrickson had her parents William and Sarah Paddock, her grandparents Reuben and Rebecca Paddock, her uncle Jonathan Paddock, her great-grandfather ___ Hand, her grandmother ___Hand, and her brother-in-law ___ Hand baptised by proxy into the Church of the Latter Saints (Frances L. Ferguson). The son Reuben is listed below as probable because he named a daughter Grace Sears Paddock who was probably named for Reuben's sister Grace who married John Sears, see No. 367. Ther is no question that Ebenezer, William and Jonathan were brothers and the above Nauvoo baptisms indicate that they were the sons of Reuben and Rebecca (Hand) Paddock, but the lack of birth or baptismal records for the sons and the absence of Reuben from any record after his baptism in 1728, still makes this family unproved. Rebecca HAND was born in 1711.
