Hi Mesa: Have a hunch we are descended from the same Paul family. My grandmother was born in the Cullybackey area very near Ballymena in 1866. Her parents were Robert Paul and Mary Ann Lavender, both born around 1822. Robert was the son of Samuel James Paul, born 1778. , Samuel had at least 4 sons, Moses, James, John, and Robert. The father of Samue was William, born around 1750, probably in Scotland. There are many William Johns among the Paul family. At least half of the line moved to Iowa, mostly around the Grinnell area. If any of this sounds familiar, let me know. Dolores Mesa Winter <mesawinter@gmail.com> wrote: What a great roll call!
