Paul, the second son of David and Elizabeth was b1840 and married Eliza Triggell the daughter of Thomas and Mary Ann, in 1894. They had three sons and one daughter.
Paul was both a miner and a sheep grazier. He farmed land at Tuross between Numeralla and Nimmitabel. This property had a second house on it where two of Eliza's batchelor brothers, Charllie and George Triggell, resided.
Paul had spent some time mining in South Africa, whilst I feel he may have had some small success as a member of the family had a lovely brooch made from a nugget he had found, I feel that he had more success at home for there was quite a lot of gold around the Tuross area.
When Paul died in 1933 the property passed to his middle son Charlie who married a cousin Louisa Ellen Holmes, they remained childless.
The property at Tuross is today owned by the Ferguson family, the house no longer exists for the material from it was used to build a hut up in the range behind the property to afford shelter to those out in snow storms.
The firstborn son of Paul was Thomas Leslie (Les) who also married a cousin, Maria, the daughter of Thompson. They had two sons and a daughter.
Les was in both world wars, the first one he spent in France where he was shot in the shoulder, he also suffered with asthma due to being gassed in the war. When he was eleven years of age, he caught what was then the largest trout ever caught, it was on display in the Museum in Sydney for a number of years.
