Ella,
I do not know where in Georgia, sorry. I only know it is GA because the 1860,1870,1880 census shows his birthplace as that.
The first record I can find is in Shelby Co, AL with marriage to Mary Ann Nabors in 1855. Marriage record list him as Willis H Paul. 1860 he is on the Shelby CO, AL census
as P.W.H. Paul, also on 1870 census but as Willis H. Then in 1880 they are in Jefferson CO, AL but as William H. They move to Sebastian Co, AR approx. 1885 where he dies Sept 1891 listed as Willis H.
Perhaps this is a clue, but I recently sent for a document from Shelby Co Historical Soc. that looked promising. The document turned out to be a promissary note to a Joseph Baker and was signed by W.H. Paul and A.H. Paul. Maybe a brother, uncle or father? Looks to be around 1856.
Sure would be great to find a connection.
Thanks - Guy
