David Crockett Paul
•Sex: M
•Birth: Apr. 27, 1836 in Rapids Parish, LA
•Death: Dec. 23, 1902 in Rapids Parish, LA
•Note:
Source: usgenweb.com "Capt. David Paul" taken from "Historic Hineston, by Don C. Marler. Perhaps the most famous son of the area was David Paul, Sheriff of Rapids Parish, LA. He was noted for chasing jayhawkers in the "No Man's Land" or the "buffer strip" that lay between the Calcasieu and Sabine Rivers. Capt. Paul participated in the Civil War and also served as Sheriff of Rapids Parish in the 1880's. The reason Capt Paul was buried on the Henry Long property is that he wanted the Indian who had served as deputy (and perhaps in the war) to be buried with him. When the Indian died there were objections to his burial in the Paul Cemetery that is located inside a fence in the Catholic Cemetery. Some say the family objected and some believe the church members objected to "an Indian being buried on holy ground". The Indian whos name has been lost to time along with Capt Pual and his wife are buried there.
