James Patten Paul (17 July 1817 - 3 April 1891) was a Mormon pioneer from Ayrshire in Scotland who trekked to Utah with the David H. Cannon Company in 1861.[1] His chief claim to fame is that he was the stepfather and mentor of doctor, suffragist and first female state senator of the USA Martha Hughes Cannon ("Mattie"). He was also the father of Professor Joshua Hughes Paul, a Mormon university president and newspaper editor,[2] Utah detective Adam Milroy Paul, and silent actor Logan Paul, who, during his career in New York, portrayed, among others, Abraham Lincoln.[3][4]
