MY NAME IS DANIEL PADEN.
MY GRANDFATHER WAS JACOB LELAND PADEN[LELAND PADEN] BORN JAN 1900 IN VENANGO COUNTY PA
WHEN HE WAS IN HIS TEENS HE WENT TO ARIZONA WERE I HAVE ALLWAYS BEEN TOLD THAT HE WAS A TEXAS OR ARIZONA RANGER.
THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THE ARIZONA RANGERS DISBANDED IN 1907 AND NEVER REFORMED UNTILL THE 1950S WICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO HAVE BEEN AN ARIZONA RANGER.
THIS STORY HAS BEEN A SCOURCE OF PRIDE FOR ME AND EVERY ONE IN MY FAMILY SINCE I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER .NOW IT MAY BECOME A SCOURCE OF SHAME UNLESS SOMEONE OUT THERE HAS RECORDS OF MY GRANDFATHER IN ARIZONA OR TEXAS AS A TEXAS RANGER OR SOME SORT OF LAW OFFICER OR PARK RANGER.[SOMETIME BETWEEN 1916 AND THE EARLY 20S OR 30S]
