- The PAUL Family
Northumberland and Union Counties, PennsylvaniaNorthumberland Co has a long history of migrating boundaries. The county was formed in 1755 with a foothold in central Pennsylvania and a domination of the north. At first, the county grew dramatically when in 1785 much of north central PA became part of Northumberland Co; however, its size diminished until today it is a small county in central Pennsylvania. Union County was created on March 22, 1813, from part of Northumberland County. New Berlin was the county seat from 1815-1855. Lewisburg became the county seat in 1855. New Berlin, formerly Longstown (Longe Settle), was laid out in 1792 and incorporated in 1837.
White men first settled Clearfield County in 1783. Before that date, it was part of the vast unexplored Indian territory of the Midwest. In 1783, most of the territory was surveyed and divided into large tracts that were warranted or given to soldiers in the Pennsylvania Line as a reward for service in the American Revolutionary War. Investors in England purchased some tracts. The county was organized and established in 1804 from parts of Lycoming and Huntington Counties and was then known as Chincleclamouche Township. The population of Clearfield County in 1810 was only 875.833 In early 1820, Abraham HUBLER (b 1779) moved his wife, Margaret PAUL HUBLER, and nine children from the familiar confines of New Berlin, Limestone Twp, Union Co, Pennsylvania (Northumberland Co until 1813) where he had resided for twenty years to Decatur Twp, Clearfield Co, a distance of about 50 miles. Two mature sons, Jacob HUBLER (1800-1867) (age 20) and Moses HUBLER (1803-1855) (age 17), were part of the transplanted HUBLER surname families. Decatur Township, Clearfield County is on the eastern edge of the county and adjoins Centre County. The township was formed in 1828 (eight years after Abraham HUBLER moved there), but settlers began to colonize there as early as 1797. The land was covered with pine and hemlock, and lumbering was an early industry. Later, coal was mined and transported by rail. Farming was a secondary employer.834 Soon after his arrival in Decatur Twp, Abraham HUBLER (b 1779) moved to Bradford Twp, Clearfield County, which was about 20 miles northwest of Decatur Twp Agriculture, was the major industry in Bradford Twp. Coal was not widely mined until 1887.835 Abraham HUBLER (b 1779) continued his agrarian profession of weaving. In 1827, Jacob HUBLER (1800-1867), the eldest son of Abraham HUBLER (b 1779), married a girl in the pioneer Smeal family of Clearfield County and settled in Graham Township, which is just east of Bradford Twp, and his was one of the first families to reside in the agrarian community.836 Jacob HUBLER (1800-1867) became a successful farmer in Graham Twp and left many descendants there.837 About 1822, Moses HUBLER (1803-1855), the second son of Abraham HUBLER (b 1779), returned from Clearfield County to Northumberland Co, Pennsylvania where in 1825 he married the daughter (Sara NEWBERRY) of a neighbor of his maternal grandparents (the PAULs). Abraham HUBLER (b 1779) and his wife, Margaret PAUL (1780- ??), moved from Pennsylvania to Ohio between 1830 and 1840 were they died and are buried.838 Graham Township In 1855, Graham Township was formed by Clearfield Co by decree and election from parts of the townships of Bradford, Boggs, Decater and Morris. The election, which included representatives from those involved townships, was held at the house of Jacob Hubler (1800-1868) [the oldest son of Abraham HUBLER (b 1779) and the older brother of Moses HUBLER (b 1803)]. Graham township is bounded by Susquehanna River (north), Morris (now Cooper) Township (east), Morris Twp (south), and Bradford, and a small part of Boggs townships (south). The township was named after James B. Graham, who first went to the area with his parents in 1822 and become a resident in 1836. The town of Grahamton was also named for him. Graham was one of the most enterprising residents and businessmen of the area, and he built both a sawmill and gristmill there and engaged extensively in the lumbering business. In 1852, Graham moved to the borough of Clearfield, and became one of its foremost businessmen. Among the first families in Graham were Jacob Hubler’s who settled there in 1827. He raised a large family of children, cleared up good farms and survived all of the hardships incident to pioneer life. The Hubler farm lay near the center of the township. (In 1864, Jacob Hubler was arrested for a political offense, taken to Fort Mifflin, and there held until March 1865, when he was released. He died in 1868.) Other pioneer families who married into the HUBLER line included the Dixons, Nearhoods, Paces, and Smeals. Graham Township is known for lumbering, agriculture and coal mining. The village of Grahamton is the trading center of the township.839

Harvey NEWBERRY (1838-??)932 Susan NEWBERRY (1841-??)933 Sanera NEWBERRY (1844-??)934 The origin of the PAUL family has not been established. Some authors935 believe that several PAUL brothers were the sons of William PAUL, Sr. (??-May 25, 1786), and that the PAULs populated Northumberland Co, PA from the time of the Revolutionary War. The PA Archives, 3rd Series, Vol. 25 shows separate land warranties to Joseph PAUL (1773), Lawrence PAUL (1773), Jonathan PAUL (1774) and William PAUL, Jr. (1785). These authors936, 937 postulate that Nicholas PAUL was born in Lancaster Co, PA on July 8, 1748 and married Barbara HESS about 1820. Furthermore, it is stated that she was born in Lancaster Co on Mar. 5, 1755 and outlines the HESS family genealogy. The data does not coincide with mine; however, Nicholas PAUL’s offspring matches. My data follows. Others938 suggest that Nicholas PAUL (1748-1820) was born in Germany. Several families with the PAUL (or PAULUS) surname resided in the late 1780’s in Northampton Co, PA, and the records are replete with the PAUL name.939 Some suspect that Nicholas PAUL (1748-1820) had siblings born in Northampton Co and was privately baptized on March 15, 1770 by Rev. Phillip Rap and entered in the Tohickon Lutheran register—Elizabeth PAUL (Aug, 8, 1750), Catharine PAUL (April 30, 1752) and John PAUL (May 13, 1757). The latter three ceremonies where witnessed by their parents (not named).940 A child of Frederick PAUL and Anna Maria PAUL named Maria Magdalene PAUL was born on Aug. 4, 1780 and baptized on Feb. 11, 1781, sponsored by Ulrich Schleppe and Julianna at the Dryland Church. 941 This Frederick PAUL was too old to be a son of Nicholas PAUL and too young to be his father. However, since the Dryland Church was the baptismal site for the children of Nicholas PAUL and since the baptismal was in a similar timeframe, Frederick and Nicholas PAUL were probably related (maybe brothers). Frederick PAUL is not listed in the Dryland Church registers again, and he might have moved or died. It is sure that there was a Nicholas PAUL who resided in and had most of his family in Northampton Co, and he was intercalated with the HUBLERs there, enlisted in the PA militia in Northampton Co, and probably married Anna Barbara FAS (not HESS) there. In about 1800, Nicholas PAUL moved from Northampton Co to Northumberland Co (next door to the NEWBERRYs) and finished their lives there. Many court documents for Nicholas PAUL were filed in Northampton Co in the 1780-1790’s and in Northumberland Co after 1800. Maybe, there were two or more distinct Nicholas PAULs. Nicholas PAUL (1748-1820) married Barbara FAS (1757-1823) about 1775. Their first known child (John Jacob PAUL) was born in April 1776. 942 Nicholas PAUL (1748-1820) and his family lived in Northampton Co at that time. He was probably a farmer. On the 1780 Northampton County Tax List for Bethlehem Twp, Nicholas Paul was listed as a labourer and was assessed 110 pounds.943 Nicolas and Barbara PAUL baptized many of their children in Dryland Church, Bethel Twp, Northampton Co, PA in the late 1770's and 1780's; and most of their children were born in Northampton Co, Pennsylvania. 944 In addition, Nicholas PAUL and Barbara sponsored a baptismal (Jacob Keiter) at the Dryland Church on Dec. 28, 1783. 945 Nicholas PAUL (1748-1820) was a second lieutenant in the PA militia in Northampton Co as early as 1777 in the 3rd company, 5th Battalion of the Northampton Co Militia. He was listed on May 21, 1777 as third in command under Capt. Henry Lawall and 1st Lt. Nicholas Michael; under him was Ensign Henry Hartzell. Not long after that, the militia was reorganized; and Capt. Lawall was promoted to Lt. Col.; but I don't know if Nicholas PAUL advanced.946 Nicholas PAUL (1748-1820) was enlisted in the Northampton Co militia in 1784 and 1785.947,948 After the Revolutionary War was over, Nicholas PAUL (1748-1820) was a farmer in the 1786 and 1788 federal tax rolls; and he was a resident of Bethlehem Twp, Northampton Co with 150 acres, 2 horses and 4 cattle.949 In 1790 Nicholas PAUL was a nail maker in Philadelphia City, Race St., south to 9th950, but I doubt if he was the same Nicholas PAUL who was on the 1790 census in Northampton Co. Nicklas Paul signed an oath of allegiance in PA, but the year was not given, and he might be Paul referred to above.951 By the late 1790's, several PAUL children married and left the PAUL nest. In about 1797, the daughter of Nicholas PAUL (1748-1820) and Barbara FAS (1757-1823), Margaret PAUL (1790-??), married Abraham HUBLER (ca 1779-??). According to Gloria Harzell's book on Huber,952 Nicholas/Barbara PAUL had a daughter, Catherine [who was Margaret (PAUL) HUBLER's sister] who married a Henry HUBLER. She questions whether Henry HUBLER was really Henry Huber since a George HESS advised her about her children and Barbara was a HESS. However, Wilheim Heinrich (Henry) HUBLER probably married Catherine PAUL,953 and Catharine PAUL's maternal grandfather was George FAS. In about 1799 or 1800, Nicholas PAUL (1748-1820) and what was left of his large family settled in Northumberland Co. The farm that they bought was only a few miles northwest of Northumberland, Point Twp, Northumberland Co, Pennsylvania (on what is now Route 11 traversing Northumberland Co from Northumberland northward to Danville, PA.).954 The farm of Nicholas PAUL (1748-1820) and Barbara FAS (1757-1823) was just north of the North Branch of the Susquehanna River. Undoubtedly, Nicholas PAUL (1748-1820) purchased the land with money received from a Revolutionary War pension and from the sale of property back in Northampton Co. Many Revolutionary War soldiers received compensatory land and encouragement to settle in the sparsely populated central and western parts of Pennsylvania.
The NEWBERRY and PAUL families not only became neighbors in Northumberland Co, they shared more. At least three of the NEWBERRY children married PAUL children; and since most stayed in Northumberland County, Nicholas/Barbara PAUL and James/Sara NEWBERRY watched many grandchildren play on their farms. When his first grandson, Jacob HUBLER (b 1800) was baptized in November1800 in Hanover Twp, Lehigh Co (then Northampton Co), PA at the Christ Lutheran Congregation, Nicholas PAUL was a sponsor. 957 Both Nicholas and Barbara PAUL are buried in Riverview Cemetery in Northumberland (the headstones are imprinted with Nicholas Paul, born July 8, 1748 and died April 16, 1820 at 72 yrs.; and Barbara Paul, wife of Nicholas Paul, born Sept 27, 1757, died Nov 17, 1823, aged 66 yr, 1 m, 24 days958); however, that cemetery did not open until 1847 (both PAULs died twenty years earlier, but many times there were burials on a particular piece of land years before it was dedicated and designated as an official cemetery, or in contradistinction, they may have been moved from another place and re-interred there or their headstones were erected as a monument long after their demise—their headstones are in good shape and there are many PAULs interred there959), and their tombstones are in good shape for their death dates, so they may have been moved from another site.960 No one knows where James and Sarah NEWBERRY are buried. The only cemetery in Point Twp at that time was on the Wilson farm (Presbyterian Cemetery), but no one knows where the Wilson farm was located (in 1858, there was a Presbyterian Church beside the NEWBERRY farm, but apparently it was abandoned in the early 1900's and only the foundations remain; and there are no grave makers there). The NEWBERRYs must have been buried in unmarked graves on their own land, or on the Wilson farm. The estate of Nicholas PAUL (1748-1820) was administered by his sons, John PAUL and Jacob PAUL. His widow, Barbara FAS (1757-1823), renounced her rights and assigned them in 1820 to her sons.961 In court records, Barbara [FASS] PAUL, the widow of Nicholas PAUL, recounted all rights to administer the estate of her late husband and recommended her son, John PAUL (who accepted the duty). The document demonstrated that she made an “X” mark in lieu of a signature, so she could not write, not an unusual state for a women in that era. The record was counter signed by James NEWBERRY, Nicholas PAULS’s son-in-law (who signed his name). Significantly, it was dated April 2, 1820, 962 which if correct would establish a death date for Nicholas PAUL before then. Yüklə 1,42 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
