FYI: There were 16 persons with the first name of Paul and 4 with the surname PAUL listed in the Hunterdon Gazette Index out of aprox. 20,000 entries! Not sure what that means, but it does suggest that Paul was not a common first name for residents of Hunterdon County during the years 1825 through 1856! Regards, Bill
