Elrington Ball suggests that Paul's rise to prominence was due to his first marriage to Margaret Ussher, granddaughter of the highly respected Sir William Ussher of Donnybrook, Clerk of the Council.
At the same time he wished to provide for his stepdaughter Lady Catherine McCarthy, daughter of Callaghan, 3rd Earl of Clancarty (died 1676) and Lady Elizabeth FitzGerald, daughter of George FitzGerald, 16th Earl of Kildare, who remarried Davys in 1682.
