Name
Nicholas PAUL

Known facts Several families with the PAUL surname resided in the late 1780’s in Northampton Co., PA, and the records are replete with the PAUL name. Some suspect that Nicholas PAUL (1748-1820) had siblings born in Northampton Co. and were privately baptized on March 15, 1770 by Rev. Philip Rap who entered the data in the Tohickon Lutheran register—Elizabeth PAUL (b Aug, 8, 1750), Catharine PAUL (b April 30, 1752) and John PAUL (b May 13, 1757). The latter three ceremonies where witnessed by their parents (not named). Nicholas PAUL 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. Many court documents are filed in Northampton Co. in the 1780-1790’s and in Northumberland Co. after 1800. Nicholas PAUL (1748-1820) married Barbara FAS (1757-1823) about 1775. Their first known child (John Jacob PAUL) was born in April, 1776. Nicholas PAUL (1748-1820) and his family lived in Northampton Co. at that time. He was probably a farmer. Nicholas 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. 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 Liet. 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. Nicholas PAUL (1748-1820) was enlisted in the Northampton Co. militia in 1784 and 1785. , 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.
