Dear Blanche, My gggreat uncle was Thomas H. Benton Paul, he was born in Robeson County, North Carolina, January 28, 1839. His family moved to Henry County Tennesse (1850 census)and then on in to Missouri (1860). Thomas Benton Paul became a judge in Potosi, Washington County, Missouri. He married Selas (Lily) Matthews, October 10, 1866. He died August 9, 1919 and he is buried in the Old Masonic Cemetery, Washington County Missouri. I know for sure there was one son William born 1874 he married Nellie Christopher. I am fairly sure there are more children.Thomas Benton Paul had twelve other brothers and sisters, His father John H. Paul had several siblings also. Do you know anything about this branch of the Pauls and could you be connected to them?Thanks Mary Paul Barrett
