The following from Sheri Baker at the Joiner History Room, 10-23-08 Unfortunately we do not have anything on your grandfather William Paddison. DeKalb County did not begin to register births until January 1878.

I did find a mention of William Sr. It is taken from the Voters and Taxpayers of DeKalb County, 1878: Paddison, W. H. Sec. 4; P. O. Malta; rents farm of John Bowley; no politics; England. Sec. 4 refers to the plat map. Malta is a small community in DeKalb County. No politics means that he probably did not declare himself as a Democrat or Republican.

Per a listing in the Family History web site he was born in Neath, Glam, Wales in 1844 2 SOUR S4
