In the First Congregational Church records of 1724-1917 under Baptisms, pg. 123, Cornelia Brooks, who married Robert Paddock, is found with the notation on 6 Sept. 1840 with "admissed to church Wyoming, NY." On page 143, 1 Sept. 1848 "Robert Paddock and Cornelia A. his wife from Chh Wyoming, NY." (Chh seems to be the standard abbreviation.) It looks like they would have missed any federal census, but maybe show up in a NY State one in 1845, but that is a trip to Albany. Then, page 150, there is 1 Sept. 1848 Robert Paddock letter to Rockford, Illinois Cornelia A, his wife, letter to New Haven I had lost Robert Paddock, as Cornelia was the one to whom property passed with a Trustee of her brother-in-law James H. Dill, husband of Catherine Brooks Dill. The last notation is p. 357 after a subject heading of "Corrections" May 1866 "Mrs. Cornelia Paddock died Feb. 17, 1894. Written in below is Orange, NJ Oct. 18/85 or 18/88 (The writing is squeezed into a small space so hard to tell.) From various newspaper articles and such, I know her son John was a Professor and lived in New Jersey. Cornelia inherited the property across the road from our house settled by Enos/3 (Henry/1, Thomas/2). Enos/3 gave 100 acres to Enos, Jr./4, it passed on to Jere/5, then Jeremiah/6 and then the arrangement for Cornelia. Robert Paddock's name appears in the property papers for a while, then he just faded from the scene, so I guess I may find his end in Illinois. Well, part of the story is added to/filled in, but more to do, as always. I am on to check Illinois censuses and find the work I did on deeds two years ago. Cheshire Jean
