THE PETITION OF NANCY M. PAUL of Jackson Co. TN against Moses Paul, of the State of KY.
Filed 9 Nov. 1867.
NANCY PAUL VS. MOSES PAUL.
Dep. taken: 13 June 1868.
DEPOSITION: RUBEN WHITSON.
Aged about 40 years.
I understand that they [Moses and Nancy Paul] married in Jackson Co. They lived together, I know, as husband and wife, for some year or two. I think he has been living apart from his wife, the complainant, for about five or six years. After he had left complainant I saw Moses Paul with another woman, and they passed as husband and wife and they bedded together and that was about the latter part of the summer or fall 1866.
I do not think he left her [complainant] anything at all. They had one child.
/s/ Reuben Whitson
Deposition taken: 3 Aug. 1868.
DEPOSITION: JOHN HARRIS.
Aged 42 years.
Defendant has heretofore abandoned complainant and refused to provide for her. He left her about four years ago. I saw him after that time. He had been, as he said, to KY. He had another woman with him at that time and claimed her as his wife and said he was married to her.
