SAMUEL PAULY, real estate broker, Lebanon, was born in German town, Montgomery Co., Ohio, Dec. 24, 1804; his grandfather, Andrew Pauly, was a native of Pennsylvania, where he lived and died, being the son of parents who emigrated from Germany to that State at an early day. Our subject's father, John Pauly, was born at Gettysburg, Perm., in 1767 and emigrated to Kentucky in 1795, but, owing to a strong prejudice against slavery, he again emigrated in 1801, and located in Montgomery Co., Ohio. He married Miss Margaret Panabaker, daughter of a family from Pennsylvania, who settled in Kentucky at an early date. He died in 1822, having been blessed with a family of six boys and five girls, of whom four boys and one girl now survive. Samuel Pauly, the subject hereof, came to Warren County April 1, 1812, with his father's family. His youth was spent on the farm, while his educational advantaged consisted of a few weeks' attendance at a country school during the winter months. He was married, in 1830, to Miss Arminda Snook, daughter of John M. and Julia (Kibby) Snook, natives of Hamilton Co., Ohio. Miss Snook's mother was one of the first children at Columbia, Hamilton Co., and daughter of Capt Kibby, a valiant officer in the Indian war, and one of the first settlers of Columbia. By his marriage, Mr. Pauly had ten children—three boys and seven girls, of whom one son and three daughters are now living, viz., Rebecca C., the widow of Gen..O. C. Maxwell; Phebe A., now living at home with her parents; A. Frances, the wife of E. M. Hale, of Lebanon, and Firman Kibby, of Salem, Montgomery Co., Ohio.
