Joseph Paull JOSEPH PAULL Ilm inster Som erset En land , , g Some of His Descendants w ho have resided in Philadel hia Penna. p , PAUL HENRY N . m t Concerning Joseph Paull, the Quaker im igran and founder of the Paul family in Philadelphia , an effort is here made to make reference to all known . e recorded facts No p rsonal memoir of him, and but one letter written by him , has come down to us . There is in fact little left but the dry- as - dust records occur Wi o n ring in Deeds , lls , and ther public docume ts , together with the form al but minutely accurate rec ords of the Quaker Meetings with which he was con nected. Perhaps the recital of these things may be found tedious , but it is my belief that such materials , if ex am ined ffi with su cient care , may be compelled to yield up some sort of a picture of the man, clothing the dry bones with human flesh . This I have tried to do . Some years ago I compiled in manuscript a ten tative account of various lines of his descendants bear ing the name of Paul and hoped to complete it by tracing the female lines also ; but this must remain in manuscript , to be completed if at all , by someone else , for it has not been possible for me to give to it the very considerable amount of time required . Accordingly, I am now printing a few copies of such part only of my manuscript as relates to Joseph Paull the immi ’ grant , his son James , and the latter s son John, who e e was the parent of the broth rs , Thomas and Jam s e Paul, living in Philad lphia during and after the Revo lution from whom our immediate family is descended . Of these two brothers I have endeavored to supply fo r preservation a full record of the descendants . This much I am now printing for the benefit of my children I and grandchildren . will leave to some of them the extension of this work should it ever seem desirable . H ENRY N . PAUL . 2 lst 1 93 . Philadelphia , September , P ENN SYLVAN IA IMMI RA T G N . A ncestr y. ( 1 ) JOSEPH PAULL was a Sergem aker of Ilmin ster, Somerset County, England, whence he emigrated P nn l to Oxford Township, Philadelphia County, e sy va nia 1 6 5 , in the fall of 8 , three years after William Penn t i e founded the Ci y of Ph lad lphia . Ilminster is in the southwestern part of Somerset mi shire , about ten les from Taunton and near to the b oundary lines of Devonshire and Dorsetshire . It is a very ancient town with a history reaching back to x Sa on times . Especially interesting is its very old parish church . An account of the town and its history has been published by Mr . Street, late Vicar of the “ ” c . Ilminster Chur h ( The Minister of the Ile , by Rev James Street , Taunton, Pauls live in Ilminster today, and have lived there since early Tudor times , and probably longer . The f name in the old records is spelled indi ferently, Pol, Poole , Polle , Pawle , Pall , Palle , and no doubt in other ways . One cannot but suspect some confusion or pos sibly identity with Powell (the Welsh of ap Howell) . During the 1 7th Century the name was usually spelled Paull . The family seems to have been closely connected w ith the woolen and cloth making industry during the l h 1 n 6t and 7th centuries . This was and long had bee the chief industry not only of Ilminster , but of the other towns in the neighbourhood of Taunton . With a View to improving this useful art , the great Duke of Somerset in the l6th century brought from the Rhine country a number of German families Who w ere skilled in cloth making , and settled them in vari ous towns in Somersetshire in order that their superior knowledge of the art and mystery of cloth making 6 FIRST GEN ERA TIO N m ight be disseminated through the county . These Ger m “ ” ans knew how to make serge cloth, with a some w hat different weave from that previously practiced by the English weavers . Thereafter the cloth makers of “ ” “ Somersetshire became serge makers , and Taunton serges ’ found a market not only in England but on the continent . The business was carried on upon a con “ ” i r - s de able scale . The Serge maker , who occupied as m we will assu e, his long, low, thatched Tudor dwelling on the village street, extended his house to a consider able length and placed in the extension a number of hand looms which were operated by weavers hired l from the neighborhood . There was usual y a dye house in the rear where the yarn was dyed and often a spin ning establishment where the wo ol - combers and e spinners worked . The product of thes operations was “ ” the e e m sold to Clothier, of whom ther wer any in Somersetshire , who in turn sent the cloth to the London m or any other convenient arket . Among the Germans who came from the Rhine country to Ilminster during the reign of Edward VI , Stes slin en t ck sh was Peter Meyer of g , Bezirksamt S o a , 58 Oberrhein . In 1 7 his daughter Maria married t William Paull , also of Ilminster, who was the Grea Grandfather of Joseph . This William Paull was a “ ” clothier, as was his son John . His Grandson William, and Great Grandson Joseph were both “ ” r m k se ge a ers . This is the line in which we are in t rest d e e . Of John Paull we only know that he was a clothier i D olishw ake resid ng in , a little village one and one half miles south of Ilminster . He had several children including sons , William and Thomas . This second William Paull was a sergem aker. He was also a Church Warden of Ilminster Church II during the reign of Charles . The record of his marriage is of interest . During the Commonwealth an Act of Parliament permitted certain Justices of the ni Peace to solem ze marriage. This was because so — JOSEPH PAULL ANCESTRY m any of the parish churches were without any clergy in c e man charge , or because in other pla es indep ndent m inisters who were unacceptable to the parishioners , had been put in charge of the parish churches . At h Ilminster, James Strong, who for a time had t e living, was particularly obnoxious to many of the town ’s people . fiv i At Weston , Combe St . Nicholas , e m les distant o P . from Ilminster, lived Henry B nner , J . , who was “ ” one of these marrying Justices . His marriage reg ister is preserved among the records of Wells Cathedral , and in it are recorded the large number of marriages which he performed at his house for the fee . d of six shillings each But as a favor , or for an ad i tional consideration , he would go elsewhere to per form the ceremony, and he has entered in his registry 2 3 1 655 mi that on Tuesday, October , , he went to Il nster and there married William Paull and Mary Townsend “ ‘ ” T ow nesind . ( spelled ) , both of Ilminster Of this marriage were born a number of children, including Joseph Paull, the subject of this sketch . After the death of this wife , William Paull married on December 9 1 669 , , as his second wife, Petronella Somers , this marriage being set down in the records of Ilminster Church . There is no reason to suppose that William Paull ever became a Quaker , for his name does not occur in their records . Quakers were numerous in Ilminster In even before the Restoration of King Charles II. the year 1 659 the Ilminster Meeting numbered 2 90 persons and among them is found William ’s brother “ ’ ” Thomas . In Besse s Sufferings there is a detailed record of the hardships to which his religion subjected 1 1 Thomas Paull . In 66 distraint was made upon his 2 - 5s . goods to the value of £ . for non attendance at the 1 2 parish church . In 66 he was put in jail for attending 0 1 6 . meeting . The same thing happened in 7 Later in the same year, being in London, he was taken from meeting and committed to N ew gate as a rioter . 8 FIRST GENERATION r Sergem aker and Quake . 1 4 1 65 Joseph Paull was born at Ilminster July , 7, and the influence of his uncle Thomas is sufficient to account for his presence as a boy at the Ilminster Quar terly Meeting on and His name does not again occur in the Ilminster records until 1 681 . During this interval he was residing at or near rli Ba scom be in Devonshire . This was also a woollen town and we may assume that his residence there had “ ’ ff something to do with this trade .

At this time he must have h contracted his friends ip with Robert Welsh, a well known Quaker of considerable means who lived about U fculm e t one mile away at , and who , wh n he af erwards wanted an agent to manage his land in West Jersey, chose Joseph Paull , then living in Philadelphia .

  • Taplow History for TPC Website / Nigel Smales (10 February 2014)
    Taplow History for TPC Website / Nigel Smales (10 February 2014) Taplow is here because it is high. The story started some 10,000 years ago when Stone Age wanderers arrived on the southerly spur of the Chilterns to discover the perfect place for a settlement – a defensible hill complete with a freshwater pool mystical for being where none should be. They began one of the oldest settlements in England, possibly the oldest in Buckinghamshire. Their Bronze Age and Iron Age successors fortified the hilltop overlooking the River Thames, for centuries a frontier fought for by Saxons, Angles and Danes, eventually the natural boundary between Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. Sometime around 620, a burial mound was piled high in the south-west corner of the hill fort. There is no historical record of any Saxon, Angle or Viking lord called Tæppa but excavations in 1883 indicated that whoever was laid here was pagan and important, possibly a king or a prince stationed here to defend the frontier. His treasures are in the British Museum, still the third- richest find from England’s Dark Ages. The mystical pool is nearby. Legend has it that St Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxfordshire), came in about 635 to embrace Taplow’s ancient pagan pomp and circumstance by adopting this as a holy place for Christian baptism. It has long been known as Bapsey Pond. The original St Nicholas’ Church was built by the Mound in the late-7th Century, replaced after 600 years, relocated to its current site in 1828 and substantially rebuilt in 1912 to incorporate the chancel of 1865.

    Introduction By GABRIEL DENVIR November 2014. The Columbus Centre, whiCh existed From 1963 to 1980, was an institute established at Sussex University For the Comparative study of the dynamiCs of perseCution and extermination – the Causes of such behaviour by human societies in general, with National SoCialist Germany partiCularly in mind. It was the Creation oF the Hon. David Astor (1912-2001 - hereaFter ‘Astor’), who part-finanCed it, and ProFessor Norman Cohn, MBA (1915-2007), its director. It attempted to harness psyChoanalytiC and other disCiplines (inCluding sociology and anthropology) to the historiCal study of group behaviour. The documents are reproduced From Astor’s arChived papers, held by Boodle HatField, SoliCitors, by kind permission of RiChard and Bridget Astor. Astor was the editor, From 1948 to 1964, of Britain’s oldest Sunday newspaper, The Observer, whiCh was then owned by his Family - a rôle that made him an influential figure in British publiC life.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission January 12, 2010, Designation List 425 LP-2343 311 BROADWAY BUILDING, 311 Broadway, Manhattan Built c. 1856-57; Architect not determined Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 151, Lot 31 On June 23, 2009, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the 311 Broadway Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 14). The hearing was duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Two people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of Council Member Alan J. Gerson and the Historic Districts Council. The Commission previously held a public hearing on this building on December 12, 1989 (LP-1755). Summary This distinguished commercial building located on the west side of Broadway between Duane and Thomas Streets was erected c. 1856- 57 by John and Daniel Jackson Steward. The building is a fine example of Italian Renaissance-inspired commercial palaces that flourished from the 1850s through the 1870s in the former wholesale textile and dry goods district of lower Manhattan. In the mid- nineteenth century, Broadway was the city’s most prestigious business and shopping street, lined with commercial palaces. Clad in stone, the building is articulated with a restrained design employing symmetrical square-headed windows with stone surrounds at the upper stories. Today, few mid-nineteenth century commercial palaces have survived on Broadway south of Franklin Street, making the 311 Broadway Building a rare survivor. Constructed during a period when Worth Street emerged as a center of the wholesale textile trade in the United States, the 311 Broadway Building is a significant reminder of New York’s mercantile history.
