Regarding the PAUL surname you listed, my William Augustus PAUL and his wife Hannah Jane came to Scio, Linn County, Oregon in 1850. He was a member of a wagon train captained by my great-grandfather James Monroe ELLIOTT who was Hannah's brother. Celia Paul Elliott was James wife and the sister to William Augustus. >> I am interested in Pauls. My husband's family has been very difficult to find. Don't know from where they came. All I have is the George Paul who married Mary Ann Howden in 1898. Is there a connection? Also , it would be nice if replies were to the list. Otherwise, I would have missed this. Carol Paul
