Paschal had married first Laminda L. Long, widow of William A.J. Ford. She had a son by Ford, William Francis Ford, b 1852 and then she died in childbirth with Mary J. Seale, b 1858.

It is said that Rebecca had a child by Paschal, who is apparently the daughter age 4/12 on the 1860 Page 093 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE MS CAINS census. The dau N.J. age 11 (or 10?) on the 1870 census seems to be the dau Mary J. of the first wife. As no further knowledge of a dau by Rebecca has been found, it is probable that her Seale child died an infant. However, see p.289 for a xerox of the 1870 census from the original census. The age 11 has been picked up as the likely age for N.J., but if it was intended for age 10, this child could be the daughter of Rebecca. P. Seale, gdn of minor heirs of Bartlett Ford decd to sell realty of estate of Nm. L. Ford, Mary A. Ford, Thos. F. Ford and Catharine A.
