John C. Paddack
December 25, 1799 ~ April 22, 1884


John C. Paddack's stone sits next to the stone of his son Alexander Paddack. Connected to the back of John C's stone is that of his wife, Sarah. All stones have been broken and repaired and are similar in style.

This stone had marked the grave of my great great great grandfather. Census records and one bible make me believe his birth year is actually 1795.

From the late 1700s thru the early 1900s Paddacks owned land in Long Run, KY. They buried family members in their Paddack Family Graveyard on the property. Sometime in the 1980-90s the stones were bulldozed off the grave sites and up to the road. The graves were lost. I had heard that a relative had saved a couple of the stones. Didn't know any more about them until I saw this picture. These stones are placed in the Brown family's plot, as is the Fitzpatrick stone next to them. All seem to be related to Alfred C. Paddack who is also buried in Fairlawn Cemetery.

Alexander Paddack
September 19,1832 ~ June 24, 1864


Inscription on bottom of stone: "Moved from old homestead in Washington Co., KY in 1991." 30 Nov 2008 Steven L Wright wrote: "Alexander L Paddack, quartermaster sergeant, 32, enrolled 10 July 1862 at Pottsville, KY, farmer born Washington County, Kentucky, 6'2" hazel eyes, black hair, dark complexion, enrolled as 1st Sergeant Company F, furnished his own horse, transferred to quartermaster sergeant 1 September 1863, killed in action at LaFayette, Georgia, 24 June 1864."

Born 19 Sep 1832, Long Run, Washington Co, Kentucky Alexander was a son of John C. and Sarah Paddack whose stones are nearby. A Union Sergeant in the Civil War, he was killed in action 24 Jun 1864 in Lafayette, Walker Co, Georgia. Alexander's brother, John Wesley Paddack, accompanied his body home to Washington County, Kentucky for burial in the Paddack Family Graveyard.

From the late 1700s thru the early 1900s Paddacks owned land in Long Run, KY. They buried family members in their Paddack Family Graveyard on the property. Sometime in the 1980s early 1990s the stones were bulldozed off the grave sites and up to the road. The graves were lost. Alexander was not moved. I had heard that a relative had saved a couple of the stones. Didn't know any more about them until I saw this entry in findagrave.com.

It seems that these stones are placed in the Brown family's plot, as is the Fitzpatrick stone next to them. Both are related to Alfred C. Paddack who is also buried in Fairlawn Cemetery.


The Fitzpatricks and Browns are related to Sandi Carter
