I am trying to locate the publishing history of two, probably related, newspapers.  PAUL PRY (Rochester, NY), 1828  and PAUL PRY WEEKLY BULLETIN (Rochester, NY), 1829.  Does anyone know who published it and have a citation?  Items in the newspaper address "Paul Pry" as Friend.  Might it have a Quaker influence?

   They look similar in type face, layout  and content to Anne Newton Royall's PAUL PRY (Washington, D.C.), 1831.  Of it, James, Bessie. Anne Royall's U.S.A. New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers, 1972, p. 312 says: "Meanwhile Anne Royall dashed about picking up a discarded Ramage press and wheedling Duff Green into giving her type discarded by the TELEGRAPH [United States Telegraph (Washington)].    She hired a tramp printer (probably a discard too) and, as was an editorial custom of the day, acquired two orphans as printer's devils. .. A neighborhood 'carrier boy' named the newspaper PAUL PRY."  In Maxwell, Alice and Marion Dunlevy. Virago!: The Story of Anne Newton Royall (1769-1854). Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 1985, p. 246 it says:"Mrs Ryall chose the tile PAUL PRY for her weekly national review from an 1825 comedy from the Englishman, John Poole."
