Wyatt Paul's name is probably not Dight Paul (c 1810-c. 1870)
I don’t believe Ezekiel ("Zeke"), Nancy and John Paul’s father was named Dight Paul, although that error is perpetrated all over the net. That was the name ONLY on the 1850 Census where he appeared with Zeke, Nancy and John:
CENSUS YR: 1850 STATE or TERRITORY: NC COUNTY: Robeson DIVISION: UPPER REEL NO: M432-642 PAGE NO: 320b
42 114 114 PAUL DIGHT 40 M M FARMER 500 NC

7 114 114 PAUL JOHN 3 M M NC
8 114 114 PAUL EZIEKIEL 3/12 M M NC
9 114 114 PAUL WILLIAM 12 M M SC
On Waytt Paul's daughter Nancy Paul English’s DC he is listed as Wyatt Paul, b. SC--which is a primary document that should be a bit more reliable than the Census. Her mother was listed as Nancy Miles [Myles], b. SC. Informant was W E English, her grandson.
On Wyatt Paul's son Ezekiel Paul’s DC his father is listed as Wyatt Paul, b. Robeson Co., NC. Informant was Colon Paul, his son. In addition, Zeke’s name is Ezekiel Wyatt Paul. That seems to indicate he might have been named for his father.
On Nancy Sports Paul’s chart she lists him as Wyatt Paul. This chart is not reliable, since it has been altered several times and there are several versions, but all versions list him as Wyatt Paul and he was her father-in-law, father of her husband John Paul.
On the 1840 Census he is Wyatt Paul:
1840 United States Federal Census
Name: Wyatt Paul
Township: Rockingham District
County: Richmond
State: North Carolina
On the 1860 Census he is Wyatt Paul:
Name:Wyatt Paul
[Dight Paul]
Age in 1860:51
Birth Year:abt 1809
Birthplace:South Carolina
The Dight Paul on Ancestry's Index was added by an Ancestry subscriber as an alternate name. The Census clearly says Wyatt.
The 1870 Census also clearly says Wyatt Paul:
Name:Wyatt Paul
Age in 1870:61
Birth Year:abt 1809
Birthplace:South Carolina
With 5 documents (plus son’s name on tombstone) saying Wyatt Paul and only one Census saying the name Dight Paul, I am not sure why DIGHT is the one everyone seems to like best. I think this is a mistake being repeated over and over which should be corrected.

Nancy (Sports) Paul Chart
I thought I had previously posted this chart to my blog, but I guess not.
This is a chart showing the roots of William Bogan Sports (1821-1862)as given by Nancy Sports Paul to Dorothy Graham Sports Averitt. This is NOT an original document. The owner, Nancy (Sports)Dever, has made a number of different versions over the years so that it is difficult to know the original information from Nancy Sports Paul. There are some proven errors in this document. Some alterations to the original document that were made on this version: Benjamin Sport's marriage was not original to the document. Tiny was added later after Suzianne Taylor. On Mary Sport--the last name is written over another name.
I have another version of the chart in PDF. If you would like a copy of that please contact me. I think both were created by Nancy Dever. I would LOVE to see the original document they were created from.
