A BIOGRAPHY OF JANE "JENNIE" PADDOCK BRADFORD, by Laurence Overmire (6th great grandson), genealogist and family historian, updated August 2020:
Jane "Jennie" Paddock was born in Yarmouth, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, Aug. 30, 1717, the third of nine children of Deacon Ichabod Paddock and Joanna Faunce. Her father was a distinguished elder of the Church of Plymouth, whose ancestry reportedly includes immigrant Augustine Bearse whose supposed Native American wife Mary Hyanno was reportedly the great granddaughter of Chief Canonicus of the Narragansett nation, though the heritage may be more mythical than factual. Jane Paddock's mother's ancestors include the immigrants John Faunce and Patience Morton who came to America in 1623 on the ship "Anne."
On Oct. 8, 1741, at Plymouth, Massachusetts, 24-year-old Jane married 23-year-old Gideon Bradford, the son of Lt. Samuel Bradford and Sarah Gray, and the great great grandson of Gov. William Bradford of the Mayflower.
Jane gave birth to seven children:
1) Levi (1743-1822, m. Elizabeth Lewis)
2) Joseph (1745-1787, m. Susannah Weeks)
3) Sarah "Sally" (1748-1837, m. Freeman Ellis)
4) Samuel (1750-1835, m. Sarah Fuller, Susannah Vaughan)
5) Gideon Jr. (1752-1805, m. Abigail Sampson) Revolutionary War veteran.
6) Calvin (1754-1835, m. Lucy Pratt) Revolutionary War veteran.
7) Jane "Jennie" (1756-1837, m. Noah Bisbee)
Gideon was the owner of the Old Forge on the Winnetuxet River. An important and respected member of the community, Gideon held various positions of authority including Justice of the Peace, Selectman, and Assessor, as well as moderator of Plympton town meetings.
Jane died in Plympton on Apr. 18, 1795, at the age of 77 and was laid to rest in Ye Olde Burial Grounds there.
