Paul family.

Hide Profile

The Paul family was a merchant family of both Philadelphia and Belvidere, N.J.

Thomas Paul, the first generation to be represented here, was a merchant trading under the firm of [Cornelius] Comegys and Paul and successor names. In 1790 he purchased the Belvidere property where he established his residence and where he and following generations carried on the sale of town lots.

His son, Comegys Paul, returned to Philadelphia where he carried on a dry-goods trading business as [Benjamin] Cononge, Paul & Co. [James Ranten] and later as Comegys Paul & Co. [John T. and William Watson].
