From my family file and notes, I have shown that John Paul was first married to a Mary Kerr bef. 1828 and they both had 12 children (I don't have the names).Then John was remarried to a Isabella McWhinnie aft. 1828. They had four sons and four daughters.One of their daughter (name unknown) was married to a Birnie.They had a son named William Birnie.
John Paul died on June 2, 1846 at age of 72. It's unlikely that John and Isabella came to America in 1851 because of his death in 1846.But, his residence was in Charleston, VA during 1800 and he returned to Kirkcudbright in 1828.I don't know if he was a sailor in the English Navy.He served as a Captain in War of 1812.His occupation was carpenter and builder at Kirkcudbright.
