The following information is still a stumbling block to me in my research. I think these families are the link I need to complete my Paul family tree but I can not complete my file until I find the key info to link them together. I want to share the following information again with anyone working on the Paul family, especially in Dorchester County or any where that may connect to these families I hope you can add to it to help me a little more.
