Pauli, Paule, Pauly, Pauley, Polley and Paulus --as a group-- are
among the most common last names in the Rhineland. In fact, the name is
much more common in German than in French. I suggest you go to Germany and
tell them that they're not Germans. I suppose that many of the Pauli,
Paule, Pauly, Polley families are descended from Huguenots but not all of
them and definitely not the Paulus families. If he were still alive, you
could have talked to the German Nobel prize winning physicist Wolfgang
Pauli. You might also want to talk to Jane Pauley, whose Pauleys are of
German descent.
I have 2 Pauley lines.
One is descended from Joseph A. Pauley and is the same family as
the other "French" Pauleys of Lincoln Co WV.
My other Pauley line is from John William Pauley b. 1805, probably
Monroe Co., maybe Greenbrier Co.
This line is actually tiny compared to the other Pauleys in that
area because John William Pauley only had 2 sons, one sons left the area
and the one who stayed only had one son. There are actually more Pauleys
descended from John William's stepchildren William Stollings Pauley and
Thomas Benton Pauley than through his children. Ask our cousin Don.
His wife was Rachel Chambers--who likewise is not related to the
numerous Chambers family of Boone and Lincoln Co.
My family insists that he was of German origin and that his family
was from somewhere near Hamburg.
They say that his family arrived in PA and that the name was either
Paule or Pauly --that they're not sure which.
Indeed there are about 5 or 6 Pauley, Paule, Paule, Pauli families
in the various books on German immigration to PA.
One that is tantalizing is that of John and James Pauley, who
married into Rowland Chambers's family and the Mc Teer family and moved on
to Augusta Co VA.
There is also a Paulus family from Germany in Germanna VA c. 1719
or so.
But I have no documentation and my grandfather's papers were lost
after he died.
I've wondered if John William Pauley was actually a Paul, given
that he named one of his sons Ellison and Audley Paul's son Isaac married a
Mary Ellison --my family claims that Ellison was named after the locally
famous preacher but I've wondered if the connection was more personal. The
Pauls, however, according to what I've seen, were a Scottish family.
