From the HISTORY OF ONTARIO COUNTY; compiled by Lewis Cass Aldrich; edited by George S. Conover; 1893;

Harvey Paddleford, Canandaigua, was born in Canandaigua, January 6, 1831. The earliest ancestor of the family in this country was Jonathan, born about 1828, and generally supposed to have been one of the Pilgrim Fathers. He married Mary, daughter of John Brandford, of Sudbury, Mass., and settled at Cambridge, Mass. They had five children, of whom Jonathan was born in 1656, married Hannah Flint, and died in 1710. Their only child, Jonathan, was born in 1679, and died in 1747. By his wife, Hannah, he had ten children. Zachariah, the second son, was born in 1710, married Martha Allen, and died in 1765. They had eight children. The oldest son, Zachariah, was born in 1733, married Rachael Reynolds, and died in 1803. They also had eight children. Joseph, the third son and grandfather of our subject, was born in 1764 in Taunton, Mass. He married Betsey Harvey, born in 1765, and they had six daughters and three sons, of whom Zachariah, the second son, was born in East Taunton, Mass., March 18, 1800, and married Susannah, daughter of Zachariah Tiffany, and they had four children. Harvey was reared on the farm and educated in the common schools and Canandaigua Academy. He was assigned the 111 acres of the old homestead farm, and after his father's death thirty acres were added to this, on which Mr. Paddleford has erected a residence, barns, store house, etc., and a railroad station. May 22, 1861, he enlisted in the Twenty-eighth N. Y. Vols., and saw service with them at Winchester, Cedar Mountain, Chantilly, South Mountain, Antietam, Chancellorsville, and many minor engagements. He was mustered out at the expiration of his term, June 3, 1863, as first lieutenant, having been in command of the company for a year. He returned to Canandaigua, and was then appointed recruiting agent of the county to fill the quota of the various calls until 1865. He not only did a faithful work in this county, but assisted other counties. At the close of the war he returned to farm duties, and in 1876 was appointed station agent at Paddleford's, and in 1874 was appointed postmaster under General Grant. In 1873 he was appointed United States loan commissioner for Ontario county. He was president of the County Agricultural Society, and chairman of the Republican County Committee a number of years. He married in 1852 Margaret, daughter of Col. William Case, a farmer and assistant superintendent of the Rochester and Auburn Railroad, and they had four children, two of them living: Alfred Harvey, foreman of the New York Central freight house at Suspension Bridge; and Dudley Donnelly, the other son, is his assistant. The oldest son, William H., was killed by a sheep when he was but four years old. The other son, Edward, died at four years of age. Mrs. Paddleford died in 1876, and he married in 1879 Florence Doubleday, of Farmington.

Harvey married Margaret CASE in 1852. Margaret (daughter of William CASE and Merab ?) was born in 1834; died on 7 Aug 1876. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Name:
Ontario County Times, Wednesday, August 9, 1876

In our last week's issue reference was made to the distressing and fatal illness in the family of Mr. Harrison Wisner of Farmington, and now we are called upon to chronicle another death resulting from the same disease. Mrs. Margaret Padelford, wife of Capt. Harvey Padelford, residing at Padelford station, was among those who went to the assistance of the afflicted family before referred to, and a few days subsequently was herself attacked with diphtheria. From the first the disease assumed a malignant form, giving rise to the most serious apprehensions, and, in fact, almost forbidding the hope of recovery. She was taken sick on Thursday, as we are informed, and died about eleven o'clock on Monday night. The deceased was deservedly esteemed as one whose many Christian virtues and true womanly impulses endeared her to a large circle of friends. Her death, so sudden and unexpected, will be most sincerely deplored. To the community, and especially to her husband, and the two surviving children, who are thus early deprived of a mother's loving care and counsel, the loss is indeed irreparable. The hour appointed for the funeral is 4 o'clock tomorrow, Thursday, afternoon. The services will be held at the late residence of the deceased.
