From "Biograph of the Bar of Orleans Count, Vermont":
"...Judge Paddock received his primary education at the district school of his native village and Peacham Academy, whihc i those days ranked among the highest of its kind in the state. He entered the University of Vermont at Burlington and graduated from there in 1825, and at once commenced the study of the law with Hon. Augustus Young of Craftsbury, and was admitted to the bar of Orleans county at the August term, 1827, and immediately opened an office at Craftsbury for the practice of his profession. Young Paddock did not have to wait for long business. His reptuation for reliability and faithfulness was established even before he was aditted to the bar, and he soon found himself with a large and lucrative practice. Buth the great labor and close application necessary to successfully carry on a large legal business soon began to tell upon his health, and he soon impressed with the fact if he desired to live to the usual age of man hemust, in the main, relinquish his chosen profession. It was hard for him to tdo this, as everything up to this time gave forth great promise for the future success of his life, but he well knkew that to be a great lawyer required constant study and hard work....
...He was elected assistant judge of the county court in 1847, relected in 1848....elected judge of probate court in 1854...."
An address was given after his death by John H. Prentiss, Esq.:
"....In his individuality as a man, he was of pure integrity, gifted with a nice punctilious sense of honor....As a Christian man he was exemplary and sincere, as a citizen patriotic and true, as a judge upright and just, as a lawyer courteous, discreet and wise, and in all his outward life and manifestations he clearly demonstrated that all the paramount ends he aimed at were his Gold's, his country's and truth's.
When he died, he had 3 grandchildren from his son James: James Cowles, Edward Crafts and Susan Strong.
