From Lloyd Manuscripts: Genealogics of the Families of Awbrey-Vaughan, Blunston ... By Howard Williams Lloyd. Page 238.

Joseph Paul was born circa 1650-3; but the exact time and place have not been ascertained. He died in Oxford Township, Philadelphia County, 4th month, 1717, being then a member of Abington Monthly Meeting. On 2nd May, 1680, he married Margaret Roberts, formerly of Taunton. She is believed to have been the mother of all his children, and came with him to Pennsylvania, where she died there, after 1717.

Joseph Paul, like most of the early settlers in Pennsylvania, was a sufferer on account of his religious belief. In Besse's "Sufferings," are these references to the Paul family: ….
