Paul Family of VA, TN, MO - 1790-1850
My Paul family connections are many and all are brick walls.
The first connection is John Paul b. abt 1793 in VA who married Elizabeth J. Phillips daughter of John and Amai Phillips. They were married in Adair Co. KY, Dec. 16, 1818.They moved to Howard/Boone Co., then Ray Co., MO with the rest of the clan and had two girls Emily and Mary Ann.
The second connection is Zachariah M. Paul, b.1815 in either KY or TN.He married Katherine Phillips, sister of the Elizabeth above on Mar. 18, 1835 in Ray Co., MO.This family moved to Lamar Co., TX in the mid 1840’s and then to Rapides, LA for the 1850 Census.Katherine had died by then after having three children, Samantha, Poindexter and Virginia.Zachariah married a Minerva MNU and finally a Julia Ann MNU.The last record of Zach I can find is in Huston, Harris Co., TX in 1870.Zach and Minerva had two sons that I know of Cicero and Forrest but I can not find either after 1850.
Finally, my great, great grandfather, Squire Boone Phillips’, (b. 1835 in Ray Co., MO) mother was a Mary G. Paul b. 1808 TN.She first married a John Mason in 1825 in Howard Co., MO and then married George Phillips (brother of the two sisters above) in1829 in Boone Co., MO.
I cannot find good info that links these Pauls.Experience leads me to believe that a Paul family from VA moved with a group of other families, including this Phillips clan, from VA to KY to MO probably via TN, and that the three Pauls listed are related somehow.
In addition, there are a few other points of similarity.Mary G. Paul named two of her children Squire Boone and Pembroke Elizabeth.These unusual names are also reflected in the families of two possible sibling of Mary that married a father son duo of Thomas Campbells.The Rev. Campbell (the elder) married a Pembroke Paul b. 1791 in Howard Co., MO on Oct. 21, 1822 and a possible sister to Pembroke (and possibly Mary G. Paul), Elizabeth married Rev. Tomas Campbell Jr. in 1825.This family had a son named Squire Boone Campbell.
So I have a lot of data but no conclusions.I have researched connections with a John Paul family, a Squire James Paul family and an Audley Paul family but no luck yet.Do any of these people fit in any family that is known?I have a lot of Phillips information but very little on the Pauls – any leads or info. appreciated.
Thanks
John Phillips
