Emma Marilla Freeman

   Emma M. Freeman was born 12/20/1846 in Cornville, Maine, the daughter of Allen Freeman and Jane Leadbetter. She married Henry Clay Paul of Solon, Maine abt 1866 in Skowhegan, Maine. Henry Clay Paul was born 7/14/1846, son of Edward Paul and Altanta Hobart. About 1870 they moved to Medford, MA where they had three children born:  Eva Alberta Paul born 7/11/1870, Henry Leon Paul born 10/16/1871, and Ethel Paul born 9/11/1880. Henry C. Paul and family are all buried at Cedar Grove Cemetery, Cedar Grove, MA.

   Eva Alberta Paul married John Thomas White about 1888. They had two child born of their marriage: Hazel White b. 7/4/1892 and John Adelbert White b. About 1895.  Eva married second Harry Waldo Gibson about 1911 on Maine. Harry W. Gibson was born 10/23/1891 in Saugus, MA, son of  Wilfred Billings Gibson and Carrie Isabel Rogers. They had two children born of their marriage: Rilla Arlene Gibson b. 1/1/1912 and Winona Carrie Gibson b. 12/2/1914.

   Ethel Paul married William Clark.  Henry Leon Paul died at the age of 18 years old of a heart condition. 

Descended from the family of Edward and Elizabeth (Short) Paul, who settled in Solon, ME from Killingly, CT, but who was Altanta Hobart and where does she come? I will solve this puzzle (I hope).

Would love to hear from anyone that finds that they are connected to our family. All cousins are welcomed. Corrections and additions are encouraged.
