Hi Mary,
Saw some of your postings regarding your Paul's from Georgia. In the past 3 months I have gotten "into" tracing my family and have been able to go back to 1855 where GGgrandfather Willis H Paul marries Mary A. Nabors in Shelby Co, AL, He is on the 1860 Shelby Co census as P.W.H. Paul as age 29, Mary age 25 and child Annie age 2, although I now believe Annie is actually 2/12 since she is on the 1870 census (Shelby Co) with Willis H age 39, Mary A age 35 and Annie age 10, Jefferson Davis (my Ggrandfather) Rutha, Walter and Henry. They are on the 1880 Jefferson Co, AL census with no Annie and additinal children W. Maude, W. Edward and C. Fred. They moved to Sebastian Co, AR in 1885 where Willis dies in 1891, Mary in 1903, Jeff Davis is 1918 and Walter in 1924.
According to census data Willis or William lists his birthplace as Georgia and his father's birthplace as SC.
I am having difficulties tracing further back to find out where is Georgia Willis is born (abt 1831) and who is father is.
I was wondering if you may have any information to add since you seem to know a lot about the Georgia Paul's.
Many thanks - Guy
