I have been researching my family genealogies. I have been told for many years that John Paul Jones was an ancestor of mine, related to one of my great greats along the way. I decided today start at the top and go down trying to trace my lineage and ran across the names of Samuel James Paul and Margaret Buick. Do you have information on these people that I might be able to use? One other reason that I am really intrigued about these names showing in a “Google†listing for your site, is that the Paul line is on my maternal grandmother’s side. I am also a Gregory on my father’s side. My maiden name is Gregory. I find it very interesting to see that these lines may have crossed long before my mother and father married. I would love any information that you may be able to provide.
Yes, there is a connection. I have the following info:
Samuel James Paul – 1778-abt 1868, Co Antrim, Ireland
married Elizabeth Knowles – 1785-1857 Co Antrim
They had 6 children, one of which was John Paul who married Margaret Buick.
There are a few Paul’s that are related to my side of the family, but the one’s above are not. However, this information was provided to me by John Paul in California. I will send him an email with your query and he may be able to provide more information on the Paul Family.
I am interested in your Gregory side. What information do you have on your Gregory side? Please feel free to email me directly at terry@gregoryology.com.
Yep, no joke, I typed in my name and found your website.
Just thought you may be interested in this Maurice Gregory.
Born Portsmouth, England in 1950, travelled a fair bit, emigrated to Australia in 1971 and now happily living in sunny Queensland Australia.
Good luck to you all,
Cheers,
Maurice.
I found your transcript of the letter sent by Addie Young to Carl Hegert’s family at the Carol Hegert page. I am a great great great niece of Addie Young and I have transcribed her journal of the trip to Germany taken in 1892 by Addie, her father Andrew Young, and Carl Hegert. If you are interested in reading it, let me know.
Found my way here by searching for “Samuel Alexander PAUL”, but it is a differnet Sam PAUL that I seek. My Sam PAUL was born about the same time (1856), but lived in Kentucky. He is found in Graves, Calloway, & McCracken counties (all KY). He is buried in Graves Co., KY.
Would like to hear from anyone looking for this Samuel PAUL.
Hi Terry and Jean, have met our cousin Rosemary Gregory , a wonderful lady with a wealth of information, discovered about the pocket watch, sent from America to my grandfather by a Mary Gregory nee Carpender,presented to her husband by the railroad company he worked for.I took Rosemary to a site that we know as the (old graveyard ) ,i pointed out the old road which ran along the (old graveyard ) and has a direct path to the old church which was sited at the Handball Ally in Moban , also took Rosemary to the ruins of an old house which we believe to be that of the downey family.

I’ve been researching my family roots for years but cannot seem to find any ancestors. I’m beginning to think I’m merely the product of someone’s imagination. Please help! I wanna believe this is really happening…not just some parallel universe trick :-0

I am the only 4th generation grandson remaining of Samuel Watt (Sr), who was married to Sarah Paul. They had a son, my Great, Great Grandfather, Samuel Watt, Jr.
Samuel Sr. lived in Cadiz, Ohio, arriving in Cadiz from the town of Washington, Washington County, Pennsylvania, at a very young age, where he studied medicine with a local Dr., He later served in the Union Army in the Civil War, along with his nephew, William Watt. Both served as medical doctors/surgeons in the war.
Samuel Jr., Samuel Sr.’s son, (his wife was Matilda Preston) also served in the Civil War in the Union Army, as an infantryman, and was injured at the Battle of Resaca, Ga., just outside Atlanta while serving in Sherman’s Army. He was severely injured there and eventually lost his leg.
Samuel Watt Sr.’s father was William Watt (William’s wife was Esther “Estie” Andrew[s], also of Washington County, Pennsylvania).
William’s father was Samuel Watt,(wife unknown)who was born in 1743, and died in Cadiz, Ohio and was buried just outside town in the Beech Springs Cemetery, in 1818. My son, Kevin Watt and I located his grave site there in 2010.
There is a great deal of history of the Watt family while they lived in Cadiz, in the Cadiz, Ohio genealogy library just down the street from the City Hall in downtown Cadiz. My son and I spent several hours there one day copying many documents containing the names of the Watt family and their various legal activities. We were unable to locate the grave site of William Watt, but did locate the grave site of Esther “Estie” Watt, next to the grave site of her father-in-law, Samuel, Sr. in the Beech Springs Cemetery, outside of Cadiz.
I am interested in where Samuel Sr. (born 1743) might have been born, either in the US, or in Ireland/Scotland. This would greatly assist me in going “over the pond” to be able to further determine my ancestors’ roots, which, I believe may have originated in Scotland.
Thanks for your valuable contribution. Hope this information can be added to your site. It has all been verified.
Anyone with any information, thoughts, or questions, can contact me at bobbyw1938@gmail.com..
Hello Bob,
I am Robert Watt born in 1941 in Co. Tyrone, Ireland.
We know my grandfather’s brothers went to Ontario, Canada in 1872.
There is a strong possibility they went to their uncles who had left Ireland many years before.
Do you have any Irish connections in your family?
From Robert.
I google ships carpenter 1880 Chicago. John Gregory came up. My great great grandfather Thomas Crotty, was a ships carpenter from the 1860’s to 1890’s. I wonder if he might’ve worked for John.
Another great great grandfather John Bates, was a ship captain for the Hines lumber boats at the same time.
