On page 152, there is a reference to Judah PADDOCK b. 15 Sept 1681, d. 31 Mar 1770 m. 5 Dec 1706 Alice ALDEN b. ca 1685 d/o David & Mary (Southworth) ALDEN and granddaughter of John & Priscilla (Mullin) ALDEN d. 12 July 1774. Both Judah and alice are buried in the PADDOCK Family Cemetery, Denins. I believe you will find the PADDOCK and COOPER family intermingled. Thomas COOPER b. ca 1617, England. Katrina in Oregon
