Surnames: Ford, Paille Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/REX.2ACIB/3814 Message Board Post: My ggg-grandfather was Paul Paille, born in Canada around 1831, and he came to the US settling in Philadelphia where he married Mary T. Wilson (Quaker from Chester County), they had their children in Philadelphia and Camden then, when Mary died in 1876, the family moved to Springfield, Ohio where Paul continued to ply his trade as watchmaker and jeweler. Most of his children migrated south to Georgia and Alabama, one went to Indiana. Daughter, Marie, married Preston Smith Brooks Ford in Atlanta in 1893 (he was in real estate there, originally from Worth Couty, GA) Any connections?
