John Wesley Paul-Marion Co. Ky 1850s
My name is Ronald D.Woodrum.My father's name is Ernest Wallace Woodrum.His father was Zeorus Byron Woodrum.They came to Illinois, (Central-Decatur-Harristown), from Casey County Kentucky in the late 1800s.My grandfather, (Zeorus-called Ozee), married a Dalris Delcina Paul, in Casey Co. Kentucky.Her father was John Wesley Paul.He came to Illinois from Central Kentucky, late 1800's. He and one of his sons were killed in a gun-fight, over a horse, in Waverly, IL, while moving via covered wagon, to Frederickstown, Mo., in 1905.They are buried in Waverly.I have the newspaper article of the gunfight, and would share it with family that is interested.I would like to trace the father of John Wesley Paul, and find out where they came to Kentucky from.If you have any information on this particular line of Pauls please post a message, or e-mail me directly.Thank you.Ronald D. Woodrum
