244.     William Paddock was born 1779 in OH or Augusta Dist., VA. He died 06 Nov 1838 in Vigo Co., Indiana and was buried in New Harmony Cemetery, Harlon Rd And SR63, Vigo Co., IN. William married Sarah Jane Watts on 07 Jan 1802 in Ohio.

 

William first settled near the old county road, east of the Likens graveyard, in Prairie Creek Township.  They lived at this place during the winter, but when spring came, he found that he had settled near a den of rattlesnakes.  Upon learning of this, he decided to move to a more suitable place.  From this location, he probably moved to the farm now owned by F. L. Drake, and lived at the southeast corner of the crossroads, one‑half mile north of the Vigo P. O. in Prairie Creek Township.  He later moved on‑half mile west of this locality onto the place now owned by Mrs. Nancy Johnson of Farmersburg.  This farm, owned by him, was later owned by his youngest son, and from him, it has fallen to his children.  Therefore, it being the old homestead has always remained in the family without division.
