• Notes

  He was the son of the Rev. Ernst Ludwig and Magdelena Guichart Pauli. He is reported to have studied in the Universities of Halle and Leipzig. He came to the United States in November 1778 as a corporal in the Rall Regiment [Hessian]. He was captured by the Americans on board a British ship in April 1779 and was sent to an American prison camp in Rutland, MA. He was ransomed in February 1781. By the time the Rall Regiment sailed for home in the summer of 1783, he was a first lieutenant, but decided to remain in America. He married Anna Elizabeth Musch in Easton, PA about 1783. He was a tutor at the Academy of Philadelphia, a school affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania, 1784-88. In 1786 planned to become a Reformed minister. In 1789, probably upon the termination of his teaching duties at the University, he was granted an honary M. A. along with two other tutors by the University. Pauli was ordained in 1789. He served the Frankfort, Wentz and Boehm congregations in the vicinity of Philadelphia. In 1793 he was called to the Reformed Church in Reading, PA where he served very successfully until his death in 1815. He was president of the Synod of the German Reformed Church in 1800 and 1812. He conducted a select Latin and French school while in Reading. In 1803 he was elected president of the new German Reading Association and was its president for six years. The Paulis had 10 children: Catherine Vandersloot, Lewis, Philip, William, John, Harriett Smull, Lewis J., Caroline, Anna and Charles. He was buried in the Reformed church cemetery in Reading near the church. In 1869 his remains were moved to the Charles Evans cemetery. [Source: Kenneth D. Sell, "P.
