John Paul Jr. (December 9, 1883 – February 13, 1964) was a U.S. Representative from Virginia, and later a United States federal judge.
This younger John Paul was born in Harrisonburg, Virginia in 1883, soon after his father, John Paul (1839–1901), had become a United States federal judge after nomination by Republican President Chester A. Arthur and confirmation by the Senate. The senior John Paul had served as a Confederate soldier, but after Congressional Reconstruction had become a Readjuster Democrat and in 1880 won election as United States Representative from Virginia's 7th congressional district, defeating both a Republican and a Democrat. He and his wife, the former Katherine Seymour Green (1847-1927), had three daughters (Katherine, Virginia and Lilian) before the birth of this son; their first son, John Rockingham Paul (1877-1879), had not survived infancy. The family came to include two more sons, Charles Green Paul (1886-1943) and Garret Seymour Paul (1888-1960), and lived on their farm in Ottobine, Rockingham County, Virginia.
Young John Paul attended private and public schools. Despite his father's death in 1901, he graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington in 1903, with a degree in civil engineering, and taught there the following year. The University of Virginia School of Law in Charlottesville awarded him a Juris Doctor degree in 1906.
