Biography

David Paul was born in North Carolina.

David was born about 1830,^[1] the son of Zacheus and Nelly / Nellie^[2] Ellen (Bennett) Paul.^[3] He was living with his widowed mother, Ellen Paul in 1850, Craven County.^[4] Although it is reported on his death certificate that he was born in Pamlico, the property on which the family lived was originally Goose Creek, Craven County and later became rezoned into Pamlico.

14 Dec 1854, David married Elizabeth B Jewell in Craven County.^[5]

In the 1860 census, we find David and Elizabeth with three children^[6]

In the 1870 census, we find David (49) with his second wife, Henrietta (25)^[11] (by most accounts, these are all children David had by his first wife, Elizabeth Jewell):
