Date of William Paul's Death.

Many writer's have stated that William
Paul died in 1773. but the inscription on his
tombstone in the old cemetery at Fred
ericksburg gives the date of his death as
1174.
The interior of the house In which John
Paul Jones resided when in Fredericksburg
has never been remodeled. The only change
that has been made was the removal of sew
eral washstands, which were built into the
walls.
Under the caves on the left upper front
of the John Paul Jones house Is round
hole, five or six inches in circumference,
which, 1t Is said, was made during the fierce
fighting at the battle of Fredericksburg
during the civil war. 1t Is said the nearest
point to Fredericksburg reached by the sol
diers of the revolutionary war was twelve
miles away.
The building is regarded as one of the
most interesting places in the historic Vir-
ginia town, and visitors from far away have
gone there to see the house in which the
great American sea captain received his
first lessons In navigation.
The last will and testament Of William
Paul which, though yellowed and crum-
bling with age, is on record at Spottsylvania
court house.
