My Paul Home Page

Leonard Paul was b. c. 1816 in NC. He married Nancy Tharp who was b. c. 1824 in GA. I find Leonard in the 1850 Pike Co., AL census on page 264:
Leonard Paul age 34, Farmer, $160, NC
Nancy age 26, GA
Martha age 16, AL
Cinthy age 5, AL
Ellender age 1/12, AL
Wm. age 20, Farmer, AL
Sarah, age 19, AL
I believe that William is Leonard's brother and Sarah is Sarah Tharp who married William Paul and sister of Leonard's wife Nancy.

I next find Leonard in the 1860 Grimes Co., TX cenus on page 244:
Lenard Paul age 44, Waggon Maker, NC
Nancy age 38, GA
Cynthia age 14, AL
Ellen age 10, AL
Amanda age 8, AL
Gwenda age 6, AL
Jeff age 4, AL
Sis age 2, AL
William Harris age 14, AL
Curtis Roy age 24, Waggoner, AL
Amanda age 20, AL

Sarah C. Elizabeth Paul married on 11 June 1865 in Nacogdoches Co., TX William S. H. Harrison. Sarah was b. c. 1845 in AL. I searched all Paul's in the TX and AL census for 1850 and 1860 and the family of Leonard Paul is the only one she seems to fit into at age 5 in 1850 and 14 in 1860. In these censuses though she is named as Cynthy and Cynthia. Since I find Sarah's name on her marriage as Sarah C. Elizabeth Paul I am thinking her second name may be Cynthia and that she is the daughter of Leonard Paul.

Is Leonard Paul the son of Isham and Mourning Paul of Coffee Co., AL? Isham is found on page 400 of the Pike Co., AL census age 40-50 with 2 males 5-10, 2 females under 5, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 15-20, 1 female 20-30 and 1 female 40-50.
