There are several Francis M Paul. The trail gets really muddy because other trees at ancestry have William Paul and Margaret Green as his parents and this can't be since William Paul and Margaret Green Married in 1843 in Indiana.
Francis Marion Paul also states in his Civil War papers states his birth in St Charles, St Charles County, MO. This same Paul's record show him dead by 1890. I will need to pursue this more to really prove his parents. No problem proving Mariah as his daughter.
4.6 JOHN SMITH Sr (1775 - 1847)
is your 3rd great grandfather
son of 4.6 JOHN SMITH Sr
son of 4.5 John G Smith Jr
daughter of 4.4 JOHN CLINTON SMITH
daughter of 4.3 Grace Lillian Smith
You may have noticed that there are numbers appearing before the names. I am trying to get a grasp on the Numbering System Ancestral Lines. It seems easier to associate who belongs to who. And of course all my 1st cousins, children of Elmer "Bud" Delong" can substitute Ruby's name for his.
