HENRY C. PAULETT
Was born in Appomattox county, Virginia, on March 9, 1849, the son
of Richard S. Paulett, who was born in Prince Edward county, and is
living now in Farmville. His mother, who was Harriet P. Clark, died
on May 14, 1884. At Manson, North Carolina, December 23, 1873, he
married Emily F. Twitty, of Warren county, North Carolina. Their
children are three daughters, one son, Essie D., Hattie W., May T. and
R. Landon. Mrs. Paulett is the daughter of Thomas T. and Evylin
(Fitts) Twitty, both born in Warren county, North Carolina, and now
deceased. Her father died on April 4, 1888. Mr. Paulett was too
young for regular field service during the late war, but served on local
duty, having one brother, S. W. Paulett, in regular service. He attended
Southside Institute and other schools at Farmville until about 1863.
From that time until 1869, with slight intervals, was merchandising at
Farmville. In 1869 went to Randolph-Macon College and was graduated
in several of the schools of that institution. In 1873 he entered
the Virginia Conference, and in 1878 located in Farmville, where he
has ever since been engaged in the business of commission merchant,
which he still continues.
