Vincent was born in 1581 in the village of Pouy in Gascony, in the province or Guyenne and Gascony, the kingdom of France, to peasant farmers, Father Jean and mother Bertrande de Moras de Paul. There was in the vicinity, a stream named The Paul and it was believed that this might have been the derivation of the family name. He wrote the name as one word De Paul, possibly to avoid the inference that he was of noble birth, but none of his correspondents did so. He had three brothers Jean, Bernard and Gayon and two sisters Marie and Marie-Claudine. He was the third child. At an early age, he showed a talent for reading and writing but during his childhood, his work was as a herder of his family's live stock. At 15, his father sent him to seminary, managing to pay for it by selling the family's Oxen.
