Captain Audley Paul was a son of Hugh Paul, a Presbyterian minister,
who migrated from county Armagh, Ulster, to Chester county, Pennsylvania.
He was a very useful officer, and was in military service nearly all the
time from 1754 until the close of the Revolution. He led his company several
times against the Indians. He was under Washington in the battle known as
Braddock’s Defeat, and he endured the hardships of the Big Sandy expedition.
His son relates in 1839 that his father received no compensation for these services.
Captain Paul lived near the line of Botetourt. His brother John became
a Roman Catholic priest in Maryland.

Very interested in your site. My husband is a Paul. The farest I can get is 1809 in NC, Ansley Paul born 1809 in NC. He moved to Missouri by 1840, then into Lincoln Co. Tennessee. He was back in Laclede co., Mo berore 1860. He died there. The Paul family stayed in that area until the early 1900’s, when they moved to Oklahoma.
I have never found any family of Pauls in NC to connect him to.

I just had an email from Sue Huey in Oklahome. Her Paul family started out in South Carolina and also moved to Oklahoma in the early 1900’s. Could there be a connection there? Here is what she sent:
