Pauls in MS .....HELP TIMES RUNNING OUT
Looking for information on John S. Paul living in Noxubee Co., MS around 1847.Land records have him purchasing land there in 1847.The connecton I have to this family is my Grandfather may have been a Paul.The story goes that Dora Guy was to have married a Paul around the late 1890's and a son was born to them.We are not sure whether there was an actual marriage or not.Dora Guy brought my grandfather John Dan Guy back to her father's home in Wayne Co., MS.Her fathers name was Charlie Guy.Dora and her son John lived with them until Dora died not too many years after John was born.The only information that I have is John Paul was living in or around Jones Co., MS when he died in the 1940's and was to have been John Dan Guy's grandfather.My mother and I have been trying to put this family connection together for years.Her mother is no longer living and never talked about this because of the stigma of the lack of marriage records.My gradmother was a Westbrook before her marriage to my grandfather Guy and always insisted that she did see a marriage certificate.I haven't been able to find anything on this either.If anyone has any knowledge of this family please let me know.Time is slipping away for Mother and I would love to let her know this missing part of her family.
Thanks for Any HELP.
