You probably have this information already, but I did find a photocopy of what I copied from the Paull Family manuscript for my own family.Lewis Frank Paull happens to be listed on the same page as my great grandmother.It states he was born Feb. 11, 1850 m. Mary Ann Parlow in Taunton on October 21, 1870.He was a mason by trade and living in Taunton in l885.Mary Parlow was the daughter of Richard Parlow and his wife Marietta Mansfield of Taunton and she was born Jan. 24, 1852.Children:William Monroe Paull, b. 9/5/1871; Eugene Leon Paull, b. 1/9/1877; Harry Clifton Paull, b 6/5/1881 and Charles Everett Paull, b. 9/14/1883.
As far as Ahasuerus Paull, father of Elbridge Gerry. He was born in Berkley, August 17, 1783 and married Sarah Paull on Oct. 17, 1806.It says he was a farmer and a soldier in the war of l812.(I haven't found that information to be true)He died Dec. 3, 1847.Sarah was the dau. of Samuel Paull and his wife Desire Pratt and she was also born in Berkley in May 16, 1786 and died there April 26, 1843.Ahasuerus is said to have had a second wife, Lovisa Comings.
I have a note that says I saw that Desire Pratt was the daughter of Dr. Micha Pratt and Sarah Paull (#3020 in the manuscript)Sarah Paull (#3020) was the daughter of Benjamin (#2008) b. September 9, 1723 and married Dr. Pratt on June 6, 1745.die3d January 26, 1765.and apparently buried in the cemetery on Dighton Road, 1/2 m south of Weir.Desire was baptized July 8, 1759.
Good luck.Hope you can get to Boston to take a look at the manuscript yourself.
